MultiVOIP 200 User Guide
Introduction
Welcome to Multi-Tech's new voice/fax gateway, the MultiVOIP, model MVP200. The MultiVOIP 200
allows analog voice and fax communication over a traditional data communications/data networking
digital Internet. Multi-Tech's new voice/fax gateway technology allows voice and fax communication
to be transmitted, with no additional expense, over your existing communications Internet, which has
traditionally been data-only. To access this free voice and fax communication, all you have to do is
connect the MultiVOIP 200 to a phone or to your existing in-house phone switch and then to your
existing Internet connection. Once configured, the MultiVOIP 200 allows voice and fax to travel down
the same path as your traditional data communications.
The MultiVOIP 200 supports the H.323 standards-based protocol enabling your MultiVOIP 200 to
participate in real-time conferencing with other third-party VOIP Gateways or endpoints that support
the H.323 protocol (e.g., Microsoft Netmeeting
and receive calls, how endpoints negotiate a common set of audio and data capabilities, how
information is formatted and sent over the network, and how endpoints communicate with their
respective Gatekeepers. Gatekeeper software is optional and if present in a network, it typically
resides on a designated PC. It acts as the central point for all calls within its zone and provides call
control services to all registered endpoints. In addition, Gatekeepers can perform bandwidth
management through support for Bandwidth Request, Confirm, and Reject messages.
Note: A zone consists of all H.323 endpoints that are under the Gatekeeper's control.
The MVP200 is designed with two voice/fax channels (which offer three voice/fax interfaces on each
channel), a 10 Mbps Ethernet LAN interface, and a command port for configuration.
System management is provided through the command port using bundled Windows
provides easy-to-use configuration menus and a comprehensive Help system.
