Introduction

Welcome to Multi-Tech's stand-alone Voice/IP Gateway, the
MultiVOIP model MVP110. The MVP110 allows analog voice
and fax communication over an IP network. Multi-Tech's voice/
fax gateway technology allows voice/fax communication to be
transmitted, with no additional expense, over your existing IP
network, which has traditionally been data-only. To access this
free voice and fax communication, all you have to do is
connect the MVP110 to your telephone equipment, and then to
your existing Internet connection. Once configured, the
MVP110 then allows voice and fax to travel down the same
path as your traditional data communications.
The MVP110 supports the H.323 standards-based protocol
enabling your MVP110 to communicate with other third-party
VOIP Gateways or other endpoints that support the H.323
protocol, such as Microsoft NetMeeting
defines how endpoints make and receive calls, how endpoints
negotiate a common set of audio and data capabilities, and
how information is formatted and sent over the network. This
version of the software also supports communication with a
Multi-Tech MVPGK1 Gatekeeper or an optional 3rd party
H.323 Gatekeeper which, when enabled, maintains its own
phonebook database, pre-registers all endpoints, controls the
bandwidth, and handles all conferencing issues such as
transferring of calls.
