Multitech Multivoip 100 Model Mvp110 Voice/fax Over Ip Networks User Guide

							11 Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description
The H323 ID assigned to this phone number identifies the office that is using this extension.  The IP
Address of the Corporate MultiVOIP is 201.022.122.118 and the default port number 1720 is used.
Once the MultiVOIP goes online, the Gatekeeper registers it with the above H.323 ID.  No other H323
endpoint can use this H.323 ID.  This is like your own telephone number.
If you choose the Proprietary PhoneBook option in the Phone Directory Database dialog box
instead of the Gatekeeper option, the Database Type group becomes active and the RAS
Parameters group becomes inactive.
Now, let’s change the typical application to not have the Gatekeeper control the call session.  When
you elect to use the Proprietary PhoneBook, you set up a master-slave relationship.  This relationship
allows one MultiVOIP to maintain the Phone Directory Database and publish this data base to all
MultiVOIP participants in the network.  This proprietary data base allows you to see all the
participants in your network and provides you with their phone numbers.
Let’s again start with the corporate MultiVOIP and we will set up the database so that the corporate
MultiVOIP can call the remote branch office and the remote branch office can call the corporate
MultiVOIP. To do this, the Phone Directory Database will have two entries for the corporate office and
two entries for the Remote Branch Office.  Extension 101 at the corporate office is tied to voice
channel 1.  The Description again ties to the type of interface used on the corporate MultiVOIP
(FXO).  The Hunt Group in this situation is set for No Hunt.  But if you wanted to activate a Hunt
Group (if an extension on the MultiVOIP is busy and you wanted to look for another extension), you
can assign a hunt group to those extensions.  So that, if extension 101 is busy, the corporate
MultiVOIP would roll over to extension 102.
Again, the IP Address of the corporate MultiVOIP needs to be added and the port number is 1720.
This adds phone number 101 of the corporate MultiVOIP to the proprietary data base.  Now, to add
extension 102 to the proprietary database, all you have to do is change the Phone Number and
Description to support channel 2 of the corporate MultiVOIP.  After you have added channel 2, you
need to include the two channels at the remote branch office.     
						

							12 Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description
The proprietary data base would then appear as in the following dialog box and when the remote
branch office MultiVOIP is turned on, the current data base would be downloaded to the remote
branch office MultiVOIP.

Installing Your MVP110
The basic steps of installing your MVP110 network involve unpacking the units, connecting the
cables, and configuring the units using management software (MVP110 Configuration). This  process
results in a fully functional Voice Over IP network. A general description is provided below and
detailed instructions are provided in Chapter 3, Software Loading and Configuration.
Installing and Configuring Your MVP110
The VOIP administrator must first install the MVP110 software and then configure each MVP110 for
its specific function. During the configuration process, it’s important to note that the Phone Directory
Database is configured differently depending on whether or not you have Gatekeeper support on
your VOIP network.
If your VOIP network supports Gatekeeper software, you must register all H.323 endpoints with the
Gatekeeper.  The procedure for doing this is explained in the section “Registering with a Gatekeeper
Phone Directory”.
If your VOIP network does not have Gatekeeper software or the Gatekeeper software is not enabled,
then you must build a proprietary phonebook with a “Master” MultiVOIP and “Slave” MultiVOIPs. The
“Master” unit includes the assignment of a unique LAN IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway IP
address; as well as the selection of appropriate channel interface type for each of the Voice/Fax
channels. Once all connections have been made, the VOIP administrator configures the unit and
builds the Phone Directory Database that will reside with the Master unit.
Once configuration of the “Master” MultiVOIP has been completed, the administrator moves on to
configure the MVP110(s) designated as “Slave” units.  Again, unique LAN IP addresses, subnet
masks, and Gateway IP addresses are assigned, and each Voice/Fax channel is configured for the
appropriate channel interface type. When this is done, the Phone Directory Database option is set to
Slave, and the IP address of the Master MultiVOIP is entered. Once all Slave units are configured,
the process moves on to the “Deploying the VOIP Network” section.
Deploying the VOIP Network
The final phase of the installation is deployment of the network. When the remote MultiVOIPs are
sent to their remote sites, the remote site administrators need only to connect the units to their LAN
and telephone equipment. A full Phone Directory Database (supplied by the Master MultiVOIP
Proprietary Phonebook will be loaded into their units within minutes of being connected and powered
up. For remote VOIPs that were configured with the Gatekeeper option enabled, each MultiVOIP will
be registered with the Gatekeeper (the Gatekeeper phonebook directory is not downloaded to the
remote units). The final task of the VOIP administrator or the Gatekeeper administrator is to develop
the VOIP Dialing Directory based on the appropriate phone directory database (the Proprietary
phonebook database or the Gatekeeper phonebook database).
Safety Warning Telecom
1. Never install phone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install phone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are designed for wet locations.
3. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.
4. Never touch uninsulated phone wires or terminals unless the phone line has been disconnected
at the network interface.
5. Use caution when installing or modifying phone lines.
6. Avoid using a phone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
7. Do not use the phone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger Telecommunication line cord.

Safety Warnings
Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
A lithium battery on the circuit board provides backup power for the time keeping capability. The
battery has an estimated life expectancy of ten years.
When the battery starts to weaken, the date and time may be incorrect. If the battery fails, the board
must be sent back to Multi-Tech Systems for battery replacement.
The FXS and Ethernet ports are not designed to be connected to a Public Telecommunication
Network.
Valid VOIP Network Connections
The following VOIP network interface connections (calls) can be made.
FXS to FXS
FXS to E&M
FXS to FXO
The MVP110 supports only FXS.  However, the following are valid VOIP network connections.
FXO to FXO
FXO to E&M
E&M to E&M

Figure 2-2. Cable Connections
Cabling Procedure
1. Using the supplied cable, connect the power supply to a live AC outlet, then plug the power
supply into the MVP110 as shown above.
2. Connect the MVP110 to a PC using the RJ-45 to DB9 (female) cable provided with your unit.
Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the Command port of the MVP110 and connect the other
end to the PC’s serial port.
3. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet 10Base-T connector on the back of the MVP110.
Connect the other end of the cable to your network.
4. If you are connecting a station device such as an analog telephone, a fax machine, or a Key
Telephone System (KTS) to your MVP110, connect one end of an RJ-11 cable to the Phone
connector on the back of the MVP110 and the other end to the station device.
5. Turn on power to the MVP110 by setting the power switch on the right-side panel to the On
position. Wait for the Boot LED on the MVP110 to go off before proceeding. This may take a
couple of minutes.
Note: Since the MVP110 doesn’t have a power LED, no LEDs will be on after booting unless the
Ethernet link is active.
