23 The Phone Directory Database dialog box is displayed. You will build your personalized
VOIP Phone Directory Database in the following steps.
A MultiVOIP configured as a Master will contain the master data base. The master database
ties the VOIP Phone Number to the IP address of the MultiVOIP and to the Voice/Fax
Channel on the MultiVOIP. The phone directory data base provides the path to connect all
the MultiVOIPs in your Voice Over IP network. This database is downloaded to each slave
database as it comes on-line.
24 Click Add (+) and begin building your phone directory database. The Add/Edit Phone Entry
dialog box is displayed.
In the Station Information group, enter the unique phone number of the local device
connected to Channel 1 in the Phone Number field (for example, telephone number 101).

the MultiVOIP and, on the MultiVOIP Telnet Server menu enter 1 to advance to the Main
Menu, then enter 3 for System Information where item 1 is the Ethernet Port Address you
