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 are provided in

Configure and Install Your Host MultiVOIP

First, the VOIP administrator configures the MultiVOIP designated as the "Host" 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 Host unit.

Configure Your Client MultiVOIPs

Once Phase 1 has been completed, the administrator moves on to configure the MultiVOIPs
designated as "Client" 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 Client, and the IP
address of the Host MultiVOIP is entered. Once all client units are configured, the network is ready
for deployment.

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. When the Client MultiVOIPs are sent to their remote sites,
the remote site administrators need only to connect the units to their LAN and telephone equipment.
A full Phone Directory Database (supplied by the Host MultiVOIP) will be loaded into their unit within
minutes of being connected and powered up.
The final task of the VOIP Administrator is to develop the VOIP Dialing Directory based on the Phone
Directory Database and telephone numbers of the interfacing telephone equipment. At this point, a
VOIP user can call any person on the VOIP network.

Safety Warning Telecom

1. Never install phone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install phone jacks in wet locations unless the jacks are specifically designed for wet
locations.
3. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.
4. Never touch uninsulated phone wires or terminals unless the phone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
5. Use caution when installing or modifying phone lines.
6. Avoid using a phone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a
remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
7. Do not use the phone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord.
