Multitech Multivoip 100 Model Mvp120 Voice/fax Over Ip Networks User Guide

 Again, the corporate MultiVOIP IP Address needs to be added. The port number is 1720.
This adds phone number 101 of the corporate MultiVOIP to the proprietary database.
After you have added Channel 1, you need to include Channel 1 at the remote branch office.
The proprietary database would then appear as in the following dialog box and when the
remote branch office MultiVOIP is turned on, the current database would be downloaded to
the remote branch office MultiVOIP.
So, if a sales person in the Sales Office picked up the telephone and dialed extension 4124,
the extension routes the telephone call to the VOIP network.  After the second dial tone, the
person would dial extension 201. The telephone at the Remote Sales office would ring and a
telephone conversation is initiated just as if the Remote Sales office had been called over the
regular telephone network.

Similarly, if a person at the Remote Sales office picked up extension 201 and dialed
extension 101, the MultiVOIP at the Sales Office would generate a second dial tone and the
person at the Remote Sales office would then dial any extension at the Sales Office, or the
person could then dial a 9, for example, and get an outside line of the Sales Office Public
Switched Telephone network. This person could then dial any telephone number, as if calling
from the Sales Office.

Chapter 2 - Installation
Overview of the Installation Process
The basic steps of installing your MVP120 network involve unpacking the units, connecting
the cables, and configuring (Configuring is discussed in detail in Chapter 3) the units using
the included management software (MultiVOIP Configuration). The recommended installation
process includes four phases that, when completed, result in a fully functional Voice Over IP
network.
Unpacking and Cabling the MultiVOIP
The MultiVOIP package includes the MultiVOIP 100, a printed Quick Start Guide, a system
CD, a power supply, and a RJ-45 cable. If any one of these items is missing, please contact
you sales representative. Detailed cabling directions are included in this guide.
Installing the Software and Configuring Your MVP120
The VOIP administrator must first install the MVP120 software and then configure each
MVP120 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.
Once configuration of the “Master” MultiVOIP has been completed, the administrator moves
on to configure the MVP120(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).

Telecom Safety Warning
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 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.
Other Safety Warnings
1. 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.
Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
2. The Command port and the Ethernet port are not designed to be connected to a Public
Telecommunication Network.
3. Use only the power source supplied with your product or an equivalent power source
supplying the minimum power requirements

Cabling Your MVP120
Cabling your MVP120 involves making the proper Power, Command Port, and Network
connections. The graphic below shows the back panel connectors and the associated cable
connections. The Cabling Procedure section provides step-by-step instructions for cabling
your MVP120.

                                      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 MVP120 as shown above.
2. Connect the MVP120 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 MVP120
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
MVP120. Connect the other end of the cable to your network.
4. If you are connecting a PSTN or FXO/PBX port to your MVP120, connect one end of
an RJ-11 cable to the Phone connector on the back of the MVP120 and the other
end to the  PSTN or FXO port on the PBX.
5. Turn on power to the MVP120 by setting the power switch on the right-side panel to
the On position. Wait for the Boot LED on the MVP120 to go off before proceeding.
This may take a couple of minutes.
Note: Since the MVP120 doesn’t have a power LED, no LEDs will be on after
booting unless the Ethernet link is active.

Installing the MVP120 Software 
						

							20 Chapter 3 - Installing the MVP120 SoftwareMulti-Tech Systems, Inc. MultiVOIP User Guide
Chapter 3 - Installing the MVP120 Software
The section covers the software installation. Note that not every screen or option in the
process is included in this chapter. Additional information on the MVP120 software is
provided in Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 and 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 section on
“Configuring Your MVP120” will explain these differences.
The MVP120 software and User Guide are contained on the MVP120 CD. The CD is auto-
detectable, so when you insert it into your CD ROM drive it will start up automatically. When
you have finished configuring your MVP120, you can view and print the User Guide by
clicking on the Install Manuals icon.
CAUTION: If you are installing a MVP120 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 MVP120 has been properly cabled and that it is powered on.
2. Insert the MVP120 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.
If the Multi-Tech Installation CD window does not appear automatically, click My
Computer, then right-click the CD-ROM drive icon, click Open, then click the
Autorun icon.
3. When the Multi-Tech Installation CD window displays, click the Install Software icon.
You will be prompted to select your software:
H.323 or Proprietary. Select Proprietary.
4. The Welcome/Setup dialog box displays.
