Configuring the MultiVOIP
There are two ways in which the MultiVOIP must be configured before operation: technical configuration
and phonebook configuration.
Technical Configuration . First, the MultiVOIP must be configured to operate with technical parameter
settings that will match the equipment with which it interfaces. There are five types of technical parameters
that must be set.
These technical parameters pertain to
(1) its operation in an IP network,
(2) its operation with telephony equipment,
(3) its transmission of voice and fax messages,
(4) certain telephony attributes that are common to particular nations or regions,
(5) selecting the method by which log reports will be made accessible.
The process of specifying values for the various parameters in these seven categories is what we call
“technical configuration” and it is described in this chapter.
Phonebook Configuration . The second type of configuration that is required for the MultiVOIP pertains to
the phone number dialing sequences that it will receive and transmit when handling calls. Dialing patterns
will be affected by both the PBX/telephony equipment and the other VOIP devices that the MultiVOIP unit
interacts with. We call this “Phonebook Configuration,” and, for analog MultiVOIP units, it is described in
Chapter 6. The Quick Start Guide chapter presents additional information on phonebook setup.
Local/Remote Configuration . The MultiVOIP is configured through a web browser. The MultiVOIP is
factory configured to this IP address:
192.168.2.1.
Certain functions (like update/upgrade of firmware version) and changing the MultiVOIP’s IP address can
be done locally via a hard-wired connection between a PC serial port and the MultiVOIP’s “Console” port.
