Changing Channel Parameters
The channel parameters include the interface type and its options, voice and fax settings, and voice
communications for the region of the world that the MultiVOIP resides in. The Channel Setup dialog
box is accessed from the Main MultiVOIP menu. The Channel Setup dialog boxes contain three tabs
that partition the channels into three categories, i.e., interface, voice/fax, 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
turn grey (become inactive) indicating that they do not apply to the selected interface. Max Dial
Digits, Inter Digit Time and Autocall features apply to all interface types.
The Max Dial Digits indicates the maximum number of digits the MultiVOIP will allow you to enter
when dialing one of the numbers in the Phone Directory Database. As soon as you have entered this
number of digits, the MultiVOIP will immediately attempt to match the digits you have dialed with an
entry in the database. The range for the Max Dial Digits is from zero to 16 digits with a default of five.
The Inter Digit Time (in milliseconds) option in the Dialing Options group defines the amount of time
the MultiVOIP waits between digits as they are entered by the user. If this timer expires, the
MultiVOIP will immediately attempt to match the digits entered to an entry in the Phone Directory
Database. The range for this option is 200 to 10,000 with a default of 2,000.
The Auto Call option allows the local MultiVOIP to call a remote MultiVOIP without the user having to
dial a Phone Directory Database number. As soon as you access the local MultiVOIP voice/fax
channel, the MultiVOIP immediately connects to the remote MultiVOIP that you identified in the
Remote MultiVOIP Phone Number field of this option.
FXS Interface

MultiVOIP. 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.
