MultiVOIP User Guide
Introduction
Welcome to Multi-Tech's new standalone Voice/IP Gateways which allow analog voice and fax
communication over an IP network. Multi-Tech’s new voice/fax over IP gateway technology allows
voice and fax communication to ride, with no additional expense, over your existing IP network, which
has traditionally been data-only. To access this free voice and fax communication, all you have to do
is connect your MultiVOIP to your telephone equipment, and then to your existing Ethernet LAN.
Once configured, the MultiVOIP then allows voice and fax to travel down the same path as your
traditional data communications.
The MVP400 is designed with four voice/fax channels (which offer three voice/fax interfaces per
channel), a 10M bps Ethernet LAN interface, and a command port for configuration. The MVP800 is
designed with eight voice/fax channels, 10M bps Ethernet LAN interface, and command port.
System management is provided through the command port using bundled Windows® software
which provides easy-to-use configuration menus and a comprehensive on-line help system.
