MultiVOIP Quick Start Guide

Installing Your MultiVOIP

The basic steps of installing your MultiVOIP network involve
unpacking the units, connecting the cables, and configuring
the units using the included management software (MultiVOIP
Configuration). The recommended installation process
includes three phases that, when completed, result in a fully
functional Voice Over IP network. A general description of
each phase is provided below, and detailed instructions follow
throughout the rest of this section.
Phase 1: Configure and Install Your Master MultiVOIP
As the first step, the VOIP administrator configures the
MultiVOIP designated as the "Master" unit. This 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 Master unit.
Phase 2: Configure Your Slave MultiVOIP(s)
Once Phase 1 has been completed, the administrator moves
on to configure the MultiVOIP(s) designated as "Slave" 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
Slave, and the IP address of the Master MultiVOIP is entered.
Once all Slave units are configured, the process moves on to
Phase 3.
Phase 3: Deploy the VOIP Network
The final phase of the installation is deployment of the
network. Through the first two phases, the VOIP administrator
controls configuration, so when the Slave MultiVOIPs are sent
to their remote sites, the remote site administrators need only
to connect the units to their LAN and telephone equipment. A
