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, subnetwork 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. The Slave units can be another MVP 400 or MVP 800 unit or a
MultiVOIP series. Again, unique LAN IP addresses, subnetwork 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 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 full
Phone Directory Database (supplied by the Master 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. Now, a VOIP
User can call any person on the VOIP network.
