MultiVOIP 200 User Guide

14. The Interface group defaults to FXS (Loop Start). Select the interface option that corresponds

to the interface type being connected to the Voice/Fax Channel 1 jack on the back panel of the
MultiVOIP 200.

FXS (Loop Start): If a station device; e.g., an analog telephone, fax machine, or KTS (Key
Telephone System) is connected to the Voice/Fax connector on the back of the unit, FXS (Loop
Start) will likely be the correct Interface.

FXS (Ground Start): If the station device uses ground start, then choose the FXS (Ground Start)
option. Refer to the device’s user documentation.

For both FXS Loop Start and FXS Ground Start , the Ring Count FXS window allows 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.

FXO: If you are using an analog extension from your PBX, then choose the FXO option. Check
with your in-house phone personnel to verify the connection type.

If FXO is selected, the Dialing Options Regeneration, Flash Hook Timer, and Ring Count
groups are enabled. Check with your local in-house phone personnel to verify whether your local
PBX dial signaling is Pulse or tone (DTMF). Then, set the Regeneration option accordingly. The
Flash Hook Timer allows you to enter the time, in milliseconds, for the duration of the flash hook
signals output on the FXO interface. The default setting is 600 milliseconds. The Ring Count
FXO window allows you to set the number of rings received on the FXO interface before the
MultiVOIP 200 answers the incoming call. The default setting is 2 rings.

Note: Zero (0) means that the MultiVOIP 200 never answers.

For FXO-to-FXO communications, you can enable a specific type of FXO Disconnect; Current
Loss, Tone Detection, or Silence Detection. (Check with your in-house phone personnel to
verify the preferred type of disconnect to use.) Enabling Tone Detection activates the
Disconnect Tone Sequence options. For Disconnect Tone Sequence, you can select from drop-
down lists either one or two tones that will cause the line to be disconnected; the person hanging
up a call must then hit the key(s) that will produce those tones. For Silence Detection, select
One Way or Two Way, then set the timer for the number of seconds of silence before disconnect.
Note that the default value of 15 seconds may be shorter than desired for your application.

E&M: If you are connecting to an analog E&M trunk on your PBX, then choose the E&M interface
option to enable the E&M Options group. Check with your local in-house phone personnel to
determine if the signaling is Dial Tone or Wink and if the connection is 2-wire or 4-wire. If Wink
signaling is used, then the Wink Timer is enabled with a default of 250 milliseconds. The range
of the Wink Timer is from 100 to 350 milliseconds. Consult with your local in-house phone
personnel for this timer setting.

Note: After configuring a given channel (1 or 2), you can copy that channel’s configuration by
clicking the Copy button and everything on the Interface tab will be copied to the other channel.

15. Repeat the above step to configure the interface type for voice/fax channel 2.
