MultiVOIP 200 User Guide
Changing Channel Parameters
The channel parameters include the interface type and its options, voice and fax settings, billing and
security, and voice communications for the country and region in which the MultiVOIP 200 is
operating. The Channel Setup dialog box, accessed by clicking the Voice Channels button on the
Setup menu, has four tabs that display the following categories of channel information -- Interface,
Voice/Fax, Billing/Misc, and Regional.
Interface
The Interface tab defines the parameters related to the physical interface of the voice/fax channel.
Depending on the interface type selected (FXS, FXO, or E&M), other options on the interface tab will
be grayed out (become inactive) indicating that they do not apply to the selected interface. The Inter
Digit Time feature applies to all interface types.
The Inter Digit Time (in seconds) option in the Dialing Options group defines the amount of time the
MultiVOIP 200 waits between digits as they are entered by the user. If this timer expires, the
MultiVOIP 200 will immediately attempt to match the digits entered to an entry in the Phone Directory
Database. The range for this option is 2 to 100 with a default of 2.
If the interface type is FXO, the Regeneration group in the Dialing Options group defines how the
MultiVOIP 200 recreates telephone numbers that were detected at the remote end. You can select
Pulse (for rotary dial telephones) or DTMF Tone dialing (touch-tone), depending upon the dialing type
that is supported by the PBX or exchange. When FXO is the Interface, the Flash Hook Timer field is
enabled (activated) Enter the time, in milliseconds, for the duration of the flash hook signals output
on the FXO interface. The default is 600 milliseconds.
FXS Interface
The FXS Interface is used to connect telephones, fax machines, key telephone systems, etc., to the
MultiVOIP 200. In addition, you need to select either Loop Start or Ground Start. Most of the
equipment mentioned will use Loop Start which is the default.
FXO Interface
The FXO Interface is used to connect PBX extensions or central office telephone lines. You also,
need to select DTMF or Pulse dialing in the Regeneration field of the Dialing Options group. If you
are unsure of the correct selection, contact the personnel in charge of your PBX or your local
telephone company to determine whether pulse or DTMF should be used.
