Typical Application - Multitech MultiVOIP 100 MVP110 User Manual

Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description

Typical Application

Before Voice Over IP (VOIP), a corporate office had a data connection to the Internet and a voice
connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). With VOIP, the two networks can be
tied together. To accomplish this, a MVP110 is connected between the public switched telephone
network and the data network at the corporate office as shown in the typical VOIP application in
Figure 1-2. The remote branch office has two standard telephones connected to the MultiVOIP and
its Ethernet connection is plugged into the hub on the data network. The data network is connected
via a router to the Internet. In our typical application, a user at the corporate office picks up a
telephone connected to their local telephone switch (PBX) and calls the remote branch office by
dialing extension 4124 on the corporate MultiVOIP. When the second dial tone is heard, the caller
then dials extension 301 at the remote branch office. The remote branch office telephone rings and a
voice conservation takes place.
Figure 1-2. Typical VOIP Application
To set up this VOIP network, a MultiVOIP at the corporate office is connected between the data
network and the corporate telephone switch (PBX). To connect the MultiVOIP to the data network, an
Ethernet cable is connected to the Ethernet port on the unit and the other end is plugged into a hub
on the data network. On the phone side, two phone cords is connected to two FXO jacks on the back
of the MultiVOIP and attached to two station lines on the phone switch. These two lines on the PBX
occupy phone extensions 4124 and 4125.
To set up a MVP110 at the remote branch office, the Ethernet jack on the MVP110 is connected to
the hub and the two analog phones are connected by a phone cord to the FXS jack on the MVP110.
To configure a MVP110, the COM port of a PC is connected to the Command port on the MVP110.
Configuration software is loaded onto your PC and your unique LAN parameters must be entered.
The configuration software is based on a standard Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) which
simplifies your selection process to a single parameter group within a dialog box. For example, your
LAN IP parameters are contained on a single dialog box (see below). You can configure your
network IP address and mask for the MVP110 and the gateway address for the corporate router on
the same dialog box.
