Installing Your MultiVOIP 200
The basic steps of installing your MultiVOIP 200 network involve unpacking the units, connecting the
cables, and configuring the units using management software (MultiVOIP 200 Configuration). This
process results in a fully functional Voice Over IP network. A general description is provided below
and detailed instructions are provided in
Chapter 3, Software Loading and Configuration .
Installing and Configuring Your MultiVOIP 200
The VOIP administrator must first install the MultiVOIP 200 software and then configure each
MultiVOIP 200 for its specific function. During the configuration process, it’s important to note that the
Phone Directory Database is configured differently depending on whether or not you have
Gatekeeper support on your VOIP network.
If your VOIP network supports Gatekeeper software, you must register all H.323 endpoints with the
Gatekeeper. The procedure for doing this is explained in the section “Registering with a Gatekeeper
Phone Directory.”
If your VOIP network does not have Gatekeeper software or the Gatekeeper software is not enabled,
then you must build a proprietary phonebook with a “Host” MultiVOIP 200 and “Client” MultiVOIP
200s. The “Host” unit includes the assignment of a unique LAN IP address, subnet mask, and
Gateway IP address; as well as the selection of appropriate channel interface type for each of the
Voice/Fax channels. Once all connections have been made, the VOIP administrator configures the
unit and builds the Phone Directory Database that will reside with the Host unit.
Once configuration of the “Host” MultiVOIP 200 has been completed, the administrator moves on to
configure the MultiVOIP 200(s) designated as “Client” units. Again, unique LAN IP addresses, subnet
masks, and Gateway IP addresses are assigned, and each Voice/Fax channel is configured for the
appropriate channel interface type. When this is done, the Phone Directory Database option is set to
Client, and the IP address of the Host MultiVOIP 200 is entered. Once all Client units are configured,
the process moves on to the “Deploying the VOIP Network” section.
Deploying the VOIP Network
The final phase of the installation is deployment of the network. When the remote MultiVOIP 200s are
sent to their remote sites, the remote site administrators need only to connect the units to their LAN
and telephone equipment. A full Phone Directory Database (supplied by the Host MultiVOIP 200
Proprietary Phonebook will be loaded into their units within minutes of being connected and powered
up. For remote VOIPs that were configured with the Gatekeeper option enabled, each MultiVOIP 200
will be registered with the Gatekeeper (i.e., the Gatekeeper phonebook directory is NOT downloaded
to the remote units). The final task of the VOIP administrator or the Gatekeeper administrator is to
develop the VOIP Dialing Directory based on the appropriate phone directory database (i.e., the
Proprietary phonebook database or the Gatekeeper phonebook database).
Safety Warning Telecom
1. Never install phone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install phone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are designed for wet locations.
3. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.
4. Never touch uninsulated phone wires or terminals unless the phone line has been disconnected
at the network interface.
5. Use caution when installing or modifying phone lines.
6. Avoid using a phone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
7. Do not use the phone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger Telecommunication line Cord.
