Installing Your MVP110 Software
The following installation procedures do not provide every
screen or option in the process of installing the MVP110
software. It is assumed that a technical person with a thorough
knowledge of Windows and the software loading process is
doing the installation. Once you have installed the software,
you will be instructed on how to configure and deploy your
MVP 110. Additional information on the MVP 110 software is
provided in the online Help.
Note: The phonebook directory configuration process is
different depending on whether or not you have an enabled
H.323 Gatekeeper resident in your network. The “Configuring
Your MultiVOIP” section will explain these differences.
The MVP 110 software and User Guide are contained on the
MVP 110 Installation CD.  When you have finished configuring
your MVP 110, you can view and print the User Guide by
clicking the Install Manuals icon.
CAUTION: If you are installing the MVP 110 behind a firewall,
the Firewall must support H.323. Refer to your Firewall user
documentation to enable H.323 support.
1. Make certain that your MVP 110 has been properly cabled
and that its power is turned on.
2. Insert the MVP 110 Installation CD into a CD-ROM drive.
The CD is auto-detectable, so it starts automatically.  It
may take 10 to 20 seconds for the Multi-Tech Installation
CD window to appear.

Press Enter or click Next to continue.
5. The Choose Destination Location dialog box displays.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
You can either choose the Destination Location of your
MVP110 software or select the default destination by
clicking Next. If you click Browse,  you can select a
different destination folder for the MVP110 software.
6. In the Select Program Folder dialog box, select where
you want the program file to be located.
Verify the path and click Next to continue.

147. The Copying program files window displays, followed
by the MVP110 Setup dialog box. This dialog box enables
you to select the COM port of your PC that is connected to
the Command port of the MVP110. From the Select Port
list, select the COM port of your PC.
Click OK to continue.
8. The Setup Complete dialog displays.
Click Finish to continue.

Configuring Your MultiVOIP
The following steps provide instructions for configuring your
MVP110. The configuration sequence includes IP Protocol
default setup, Channel setup, and Phone Directory Database
setup. The Phone Directory Database setup is configured
differently depending on whether or not the Gatekeeper
function is available and enabled on the Phone Directory
Database dialog box.
11. The IP Protocol Default Setup dialog box displays.       
						

							MultiVOIP Quick Start Guide
16The default Frame Type is TYPE_II. If this does not match
your IP network, change the Frame Type by selecting
SNAP from the Frame Type list. The available Frame
Type choices are TYPE_II and SNAP.
12. In the Ethernet group, enter the IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway Address unique to your IP LAN.  The
IP address is the unique LAN IP address assigned to the
MVP110.  The Gateway address is the IP address of the
device connecting your MVP110 to the Internet.  Click OK
when you are finished.
13. The Channel Setup dialog box displays. The four tabs in
this dialog box define the channel interface, voice/fax
parameters, billing/miscellaneous parameters, and
regional telephone parameters.
The Inter Digit Time option defines the maximum amount
of time that the unit will wait before mapping the dialed
digits to an entry in the Phone Directory Database. If too
much time elapses between digits, and the wrong
numbers are mapped, you will hear a rapid busy signal. If   
						

							17 Configuring the MultiVOIP
this happens, hang up and dial again. The default setting
is 2 seconds.
14. The Ring Count FXS box enables you to set the
maximum number of rings output on the FXS interface
before hanging up and releasing the line to another call.
The default setting is 8 rings.
Note: Zero (0) means no rings - caller hears a busy tone.
The Message Waiting Light check box must be selected
on the originating and answering voice channel.  This
enables the number dialed to connect you to the
appropriate voice channel, then output that number on the
voice channel.  This feature does not work FXS to FXS.
15. The Voice/Fax tab displays the parameters for the voice
gain, DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) gain, voice
coder, faxing, and advanced features such as Silence
Compression, Echo Cancellation, and Forward Error
Correction.
16. You can set up the input and output voice gain so that the   
						

							MultiVOIP Quick Start Guide
18volume can be increased or decreased. Input gain
modifies the level of the audio coming in to the voice
channel before it is sent over the Internet to the remote
MultiVOIP.  Output gain modifies the level of the audio
being output to the device attached to the voice channel.
Make your selections from the Input and Output drop-
down lists in the Voice Gain group. The valid range  is
+31dB to –31dB with a recommended/default value of 0.
You can also set up the DTMF gain (or output level in
decibels - dB) for the higher and lower frequency groups
of the DTMF tone pair. Make your selections in the drop-
down lists in the DTMF Gain group. When DTMF Out of
Band is checked, the unit reproduces the DTMF tones
instead of passing them through.
Note: Only change the DTMF gain under the direction of
Multi-Tech Technical Support supervision.
17. To change the voice coder,  select the Manual option in
the Coder group. Select the appropriate coder from the
Selected Coder list.
If you changed the voice coder, ensure that the same
voice coder is used on the voice/fax channel you are
calling; otherwise, you will always get a busy signal.
Note: If  the Coder is selected automatically,enter the
bandwidth in the Max Bandwidth box. Check with your
Network Administrator to determine how much bandwidth
is available.
18. The Fax group enables you to send/receive faxes on the
voice/fax channel. You can set the maximum baud rate for
faxes, the fax volume, and change the jitter value in
milliseconds.
When receiving fax packets from a remote MVP110, it is
possible for individual packets to be delayed or received 
						

							19 Configuring the MultiVOIP
out of order due to traffic conditions on the network. To
compensate for this effect, the MVP110 uses a Jitter
Buffer. The Jitter Value box allows the MVP110 to wait a
user-definable period of time, in milliseconds, for delayed
or out of order fax packets. The range of allowable Jitter
Values is 0 to 400 with a default of 400 milliseconds.
If you do not plan to send or receive faxes on the voice/fax
channel, you can disable faxes in the Fax group.
19. You can enable the voice/fax advanced features by
clicking (checking) the silence compression, echo
cancellation, or forward error correction options.
The Silence Compression option defines whether silence
compression is enabled for the voice channel. If silence
compression is enabled, the MVP110 will not transmit
voice packets when silence is detected, thereby reducing
the amount of network bandwidth used by the voice
channel.
The Echo Cancellation option defines whether echo
cancellation is enabled for the voice channel. If echo
cancellation is enabled, the MVP110 will remove echo
which improves the quality of sound.
The Forward Error Correction (FEC) option defines
whether forward error correction is selected for the voice
channel. The FEC feature allows some of the voice
packets that were corrupted or lost to be recovered. FEC
adds an additional 50% overhead to the total network
bandwidth consumed by the voice channel.

2020. The Billing/Misc tab displays the parameters for auto call,
automatic disconnection, billing options, and dynamic jitter
buffer.
If you want to dedicate a local voice/fax channel to a
remote voice/fax channel (so you will not have to dial the
remote channel), click the Auto Call Enable option in the
Auto Call group. Then enter the phone number of the
remote MVP110 in the Phone Number box.
21. The Automatic Disconnection group provides three
options to be used singly or in combination.
The Jitter Value defines the average inter-arrival packet
deviation (in milliseconds) before the call is automatically
disconnected. Jitter is the inter-arrival packet deviation
(phase shift of digital pulses) over the transmission
medium that causes voice breakup which can be
particularly disruptive to voice communications. The
default setting is 20 milliseconds. A higher value means
that the voice transmission will be more accepting of jitter.
A lower value will be less tolerant of jitter.
