determine how your PBX is configured. They would have to determine E&M signaling options (dial
tone or wink), 2-wire or 4-wire connection, and if the wink option is the signaling option, the wink timer
delay in milliseconds. The default is 250 milliseconds.
Additional channel setup parameters cover the voice coder, DTMF gain, voice gain, and faxing in the
Voice/Fax tab of the Channel Setup dialog box. The most important parameter in this group is to
ensure that the voice coder is the same for all MultiVOIPs in the network. The Billing/Misc tab
handles the billing options, automatic disconnect options, and the dynamic jitter buffer options. The
jitter options in this tab handle voice break up which can be particularly disruptive to voice
communications. For the most part, these parameters can remain in their default values. The
Regional tab defines the country or region in which the MultiVOIP is being used.
Once you have completed channel setup, you will need to add the phone numbers to the phone
directory database. The phone directory database establishes a host-client relationship between the
MultiVOIPs in your network. This relationship allows one MultiVOIP to maintain the Phone Directory
Database and send it to all MultiVOIP participants in the network.
Now, to add a phone number to the phone directory database, you bring up the Add/Edit Phone Entry
dialog box. The Station Information group in the dialog box defines the Phone Number, a Description
is optional, but may be helpful if it is assigned to an individual or department, in this case the
Corporate Office MultiVOIP, and Voice Channel of the unit, which is Channel 1 is this case. The
Permit Hunting option allows a phone number that is busy, to roll over to another extension.
