CallFinder Configuration Guide: AltiGen IP Phone System

Introduction
Multi-Tech CallFinder
®
Cellular Gateway is an ideal solution for
•
Reducing cellular telecom costs
•
Cellular wireless communication backup
•
Primary voice network for remote locations or temporary work sites
The gateway is connected to an analog trunk port on the AltiGen IP phone system. The user simply dials the
desired cell phone number and the phone system’s routing table will hand off the call to the port connected to the
CallFinder. From there, the CallFinder will route the call over the wireless network.
The CallFinder also provides an affordable back-up communication network during times of emergency. In the
case of a PSTN failure, it will bridge the AltiGen IP phone system to the cellular network providing an alternate
route. In a disaster situation, it will even establish critical communication, including emergency 911 service.
In addition, the CallFinder gateway provides a fast, easy fixed line alternative for small offices, SOHO environments
or other remote locations. Simply connect an analog phone to the gateway and the user can make affordable
cellular calls over the GSM network. There is no need for fixed wiring, making it an ideal solution to any
environment where a fixed line is not readily available, such as mobile centers or retail kiosks.
