Changing the Phone Directory Database
The Phone Directory Database dialog box displays all the phone numbers in your MultiVOIP network.
The database displays the phone numbers in numerical order with the IP Address, Channel
assignment, and Description.
Access this database by clicking the Phone Book button on the Main MultiVOIP menu. You can add,
delete, or edit any entry in the database and you can change the master - slave relationship of the
database. The Slave Status displays status of all the slave units in your VOIP network. The Phone
Number of each slave is displayed with its IP Address, current line status, and the description of the

assigned to channel 1. If you want the call to be rolled over to a second channel, you can enable
Permit Hunting. If the assigned channel is busy, then the call is rolled over to the next channel.
