Installing Your MVP110
The basic steps of installing your MVP110 network involve
unpacking the units, connecting the cables, and configuring
the units using management software (MVP 110
Configuration). This process results in a fully functional Voice
Over IP network. A brief description is provided below with
detailed instructions provided later.
Installing and Configuring Your MVP110
The VOIP administrator must first install the MVP110 software
and then configure each MVP110 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 an H.323 Gatekeeper, 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 “Master” MultiVOIP and “Slave”
MultiVOIPs. The “Master” unit includes the assignment of a
unique LAN IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway IP
address. Once all connections have been made, the VOIP
administrator configures the unit and builds the Phone
Directory Database that will reside in the Master unit.
After the “Master” MultiVOIP is configured, the administrator
moves on to configure the MultiVOIPs designated as “Slave”
units. Again, unique LAN IP addresses, subnet masks, and
Gateway IP addresses are assigned, and the Voice/Fax
channel is configured for the FXS Loop interface type. When
this is done, the Phone Directory Database option is set to
Slave, and the IP address of the Master MVP 110 is entered.
