About This Manual
This manual is about Voice-over-IP products made by Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. It describes three analog
MultiVOIPTM FX units that operate with the SIP transmission protocol only and use the FXS telephony
interface only, namely, models MVPFXS-24, MVPFXS-16, and MVPFXS-8. At this writing, only the
MVPFXS-24 model has been released; the MVPFXS-16 and MVPFXS-8 will be forthcoming.
These MultiVOIP units can inter-operate with other contemporary analog MultiVOIP units (MVP130,
MVP130FXS, MVP210, MVP410, and MVP810), with contemporary SIP-Survivability MultiVOIP units
(MVP210-SS, MVP410-SS, and MVP810-SS), with contemporary BRI MultiVOIP units (MVP410ST &
MVP810ST), with contemporary FXO/FXS SIP MultiVOIPs (MVPFX2-2/4/8), with contemporary digital
T1/E1/ISDN-PRI MultiVOIP units (MVP2410 and MVP3010), and with the earlier generation of MultiVOIP
products (MVP200, MVP400, MVP800, MVP120, etc.)
The table below describes the vital characteristics of the various models described in this manual.

How to Use This Manual. In short, use the index and the examples.
When our readers crack open this large manual, they generally need one of two things: information on a
very specific software setting or technical parameter (about telephony or IP) or they need help when setting
up phonebooks for their voip systems. The index gives quick access to voip settings and parameters. It’s
detailed. Use it. The best way to learn about phonebooks is to wade through examples like those in our
Phonebook Configuration chapter. Finally, this manual is meant to be comprehensive. If you notice that
something important is lacking, please let us know.
Additional Resources. The MultiTech web site (www.multitech.com) offers both a list of Frequently Asked
Questions (the MultiVOIP FAQ) and a collection of resolutions of issues that MultiVOIP users have
encountered (these are Troubleshooting Resolutions in the searchable Knowledge Base).

Introduction to Analog MultiVOIP FX
SIP FXS-only Gateway Voice-over-IP Units
(MVPFXS-8/16/24)
VOIP: The Free Ride. We proudly present Multi-Tech's MVPFXS-8/16/24 MultiVOIPTM FXS SIP
Gateways. These three models allow voice/fax communication to be transmitted at no additional expense
over your existing IP network, which has ordinarily been data only. To access this free voice and fax
communication, you simply connect the MultiVOIP to your telephone equipment and your existing
Internet connection. These analog MultiVOIPs inter-operate readily with T1 or E1 MultiVOIP units.

Capacity. The MultiVOIP FX model MVPFXS-24 is a twenty-four channel unit, the model MVPFXS-16 is a
sixteen-channel unit, and the MVPFXS-8 is an eight-channel unit. The front panel (Figure 1-1) is the same
for all three units. However, for the MVPFXS-8, only the first eight of the channel LEDs will be functional;
for the MVPFXS-16, only the first sixteen of the channel LEDs will be functional. All three of these
MultiVOIP units have a 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface for its full-featured web-based configuration GUI
and a console port for local access to basic startup configuration parameters (like the gateway’s IP address
and password).
Mounting. Mechanically, the MVPFXS-8/16/24 MultiVOIP FX units are designed for a one-high industry-
standard EIA 19-inch rack enclosure. The product must be installed by qualified service personnel in a
restricted-access area, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 10-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.

Overview
MultiVOIP FXS User Guide
Phone System Transparency. These MultiVOIPs inter-operate with a telephone switch or PBX, acting as a
switching device that directs voice and fax calls over an IP network. The MultiVOIPs have “phonebooks,”
directories that determine to who calls may be made and the sequences that must be used to complete calls
through the MultiVOIP. The phonebooks allow the phone user to interact with the VOIP system just as
they would with an ordinary PBX or telco switch. When the phonebooks are set, special dialing sequences
are minimized or eliminated altogether. Once the call destination is determined, the phonebook settings
determine whether the destination VOIP unit must strip off or add dialing digits to make the call appear at
its destination to be a local call.
Voip Protocol. The MVPFXS units use the SIP protocol only. (“SIP” means Session Initiation Protocol.)
Telephony Interface. The MVPFXS units use the FXS telephony interface only.
Data Compression & Quality of Service. The analog MultiVOIPTMFX unit comes equipped with a variety
of data compression capabilities, including G.723, G.729, and G.711 and features DiffServ quality-of-service
(QoS) capabilities.
Management. Configuration and system management for the MVPFXS units is done primarily through a
web interface. Once you know the IP address of an MVPFXS unit, you can contact that unit with a web
browser and set the unit’s operating parameters, which are grouped into several separate screens.
Figure 1-2: The Presentation of the MultiVOIP Web-Based GUI (IP Parameters screen shown)
Certain base-level parameters (like the IP address and password of the unit) can be set by connecting the
MVPFXS unit’s “Console” receptacle to a serial connector on a PC (using aRJ45-to-DB9 connector).

MultiVOIP FXS User Guide
Overview
The primary advantage of the web GUI (over a GUI that requires a local connection) is remote access for
control and configuration. The controller PC and the MultiVOIP unit itself must both be connected to the
same IP network and their IP addresses must be known.
Logging of System Events. MultiTech has built SysLog Server functionality into the software of the
MultiVOIP units. SysLog is a de facto standard for logging events in network communication systems.
Figure 1-3: Logging with SysLog
The SysLog Server resides in the MultiVOIP unit itself. To implement this functionality, you will need a
SysLog client program (sometimes referred to as a “daemon”). SysLog client programs, both paid and
freeware, can be obtained from Kiwi Enterprises, among other firms. See www.kiwisyslog.com. SysLog
client programs essentially give you a means of structuring console messages for convenience and ease of
use.
MultiTech Systems does not endorse any particular SysLog client program. SysLog client programs by any
qualified provider should suffice for use with MultiVOIP units. Kiwi’s brief description of their SysLog
program indicates the typical scope of such programs. “Kiwi Syslog Daemon is a freeware Syslog Daemon
for the Windows platform. It receives, logs, displays and forwards Syslog messages from hosts such as
routers, switches, Unix hosts and any other syslog enabled device. There are many customizable options
available.”

MultiVOIP Front Panel LEDs
LED Types. The MultiVOIPs have two types of LEDs on their front panels:
(1) general operation LED indicators (for power, booting, and
ethernet functions), and
(2) channel operation LED indicators that describe the data traffic and performance in each VOIP data
channel.
Active LEDs. On the MVPFXS units, there are four WAN LEDs and twenty-four channel-operation LEDs.
However, on the MVPFXS-8, only the left eight sets of channel-operation LEDs are functional. On the
MVPFXS-16, only the left sixteen sets of channel-operation LEDs are functional. All of the channel-
operation LEDs are functional on the MVPFXS-24 unit.

Indicates presence of power.
After power up, the Boot LED will be on briefly while the MultiVOIP is booting. It lights
whenever the MultiVOIP is booting or downloading a setup configuration data set.
FDX. LED indicates whether Ethernet connection is half-duplex or full-duplex
(FDX) and, in half-duplex mode, indicates occurrence of data collisions. LED is on
constantly for full-duplex mode; LED is off constantly for half-duplex mode.
When operating in half-duplex mode, the LED will flash during data collisions.
Ethernet
LNK. Link/Activity LED. This LED is lit if Ethernet connection has been made. It
is off when the link is down (i.e., when no Ethernet connection exists). While link
is up, this LED will flash off to indicate data activity.
SPD. Data speed indicator. When lit, data rate is 100 Mbps. When not lit,
data rate is 10 Mbps.
COL. Collision indicator. Lit when data collision is detected on Ethernet
network.
Channel-Operation LEDs
There is one LED for each voip channel (channels 1-8 for MVPFXS-8; channels 1-16
1, 2, 3, ... 24
for MVPFXS-16; channels 1-24 for MVPFXS-24). The indicator for any channel is lit
when there is call activity on that voip channel. The LED is ON when the device
attached to the channel is off hook.

MultiVOIP FXS User Guide
Overview
Computer Requirements
The command computer used in conjunction with the MultiVOIP must meet these requirements:
(a) any reasonably modern PC,
(b) must have an up-to-date version of Java installed (v. 1.5 or higher),
(c) must have an up-to-date web browser installed (at this writing, up-to-date browsers would include
Internet Explorer 6.0(+), Netscape 6.0(+), or Mozilla FireFox 1.0(+).),
(d) must have IP access to the MultiVOIP, and
(e) optionally, have an available serial COM port for a console connection to the MultiVOIP.
This PC will generally be in contact with the MVPFXS unit via the web. The Console connection, which
requires a cable directly between the PC and the MultiVOIP is, essentially, a backup method of connecting
to the voip. This direct connection can be used to reset the MultiVOIP’s IP address and to upgrade
firmware. The direct connection is not involved in the general operation of the MultiVOIP unit.

Identify Remote VOIP Site to Call
When you’re done installing the MultiVOIP, you’ll want to confirm that it is configured and operating
properly. To do so, it’s good to have another voip that you can call for testing purposes. You’ll want to
confirm end-to-end connectivity. You’ll need IP and telephone information about that remote site.
If this is the very first voip in the system, you’ll want to coordinate the installation of this MultiVOIP with
an installation of another unit at a remote site.

Command PC & Voip Hookups
Command/Control Computer Setup (Specs & Settings)
The computer used for command and control of the MultiVOIP
(a) any reasonably modern PC,
(b) must have an up-to-date version of Java installed (v. 1.5 or higher),
(c) must have an up-to-date web browser installed (at this writing, up-to-date browsers would include
Internet Explorer 6.0(+), Netscape 6.0(+), or Mozilla FireFox 1.0(+).),
(d) must have IP access to the MultiVOIP, and
(e) optionally, have an available serial COM port for a console connection to the MultiVOIP.
The configuration tasks and control tasks the PC will have to do with the MultiVOIP are not especially
demanding. Still, we recommend using a reasonably new computer. The computer that you use to
configure your MultiVOIP need not be dedicated to the MultiVOIP after installation is complete.
COM port on controller PC. If you choose to use the MultiVOIP’s Console connection, you will need an
available COM port on the controller PC. You’ll need to know which COM port is available for use with
the MultiVOIP (COM1, COM2, etc.).
Placement
Mount your MultiVOIP in a safe and convenient location where cables for your network and phone system
are accessible. Rack-mounting instructions are in Chapter 3: Mechanical Installation & Cabling.

Ensure that Java & Browser Versions will Support Web-Based GUI
For more details, see Chapter 4: Software Installation in User Guide.
1. MultiVOIP must be properly cabled. Power must be turned on.
2. Is Java Runtime program at level 1.5 or greater? If not, load up-to-date Java version from MultiVOIP CD
or from Java web site.
3. Is web browser of a sufficiently recent version to support MultiVOIP web GUI? (The browser must be
Internet Explorer 6.0(+), Netscape 6.0(+), or FireFox 1.0(+).) If not, download a browser version that is
new enough to support the web GUI.
4. Browse to IP address of MultiVOIP unit (default is 192.168.2.1).
5. If username and password have been established, enter them when prompted by voip.
6. Use web browser GUI to continue with configuration and operation of voip.
Changing the IP Address through the Console Connection
At its initial bootup, the default IP address of the MultiVOIP is 192.168.2.1. If you are not able to access the web GUI
through this IP address (192.168.2.1), then use the procedure below to set a valid IP for operation of the MultiVOIP on your
network.
This procedure also works if the IP address is forgotten.
1. Connect a cable between the MultiVOIP’s “Console” connector and a serial cable on the computer.
2. Launch HyperTerminal or a similar communications program.

7. Reboot the MultiVOIP by turning off its power and turning it back on again.
The ARMBoot prompt will appear on the HyperTerminal screen.
When this screen appears, you must quickly press any key to stop the regular boot-up process (the manual
boot process).
8. Type setenv ipaddr a.b.c.d where a, b, c, & d are the octet values for the desired IP address of the voip.
Press Enter.
Note: When using the setenv command, be careful in your spelling. If you mis-spell ipaddr as “ipadde” for
example, the ARMBoot program will create a new and useless variable entitled ipadde and will not change
the value of the ipaddr variable.

Phonebook Starter Config.
Phonebook Starter Configuration (with remote voip)
If the topic of voip phone books is new to you, it may be helpful to read the PhoneBook Tips section (page
32) before starting this procedure.
To do this part of the quick setup, you need to know of another voip that you can call to conduct a test.
Ideally, a test of two voips at the same physical location connected back-to-back should be done first. A
secondary test should be done between two voips at different locations, typically with one voip located
somewhere outside of your building. You must know the phone number and IP address for that site. We
are generally assuming here that the MultiVOIP will operate in conjunction with a PBX. Note, however,
that MVPFXS voips could easily be connected simply to a terminal block and require very simple phone
book entries.
You must configure both the Outbound Phonebook and the Inbound Phonebook. A starter configuration
only means that two voip locations will be set up to begin the system and establish voip communication.
Outbound Phonebook
1. Open the browser and go to the IP address of the MultiVOIP unit. In the sidebar menu, select Phone
Book
2. Go to Outbound Phonebook | Add Entry.
3. On a sheet of paper, write down the calling code of the remote voip (area code, country code, city code,
etc.) that you’ll be calling.
Follow the example that best fits your situation.
North America,
Long-Distance Example
Euro, National Call

4. Suppose you want to call a phone number outside of your building using a phone station that is an
extension from your PBX system (if present). What digits must you dial? Often a “9” or “8” must be
dialed to “get an outside line” through the PBX (i.e., to connect to the PSTN). Generally, “1 “or “11” or
“0” must be dialed as a prefix for calls outside of the calling code area (long-distance calls, national calls,
or international calls).
On a sheet of paper, write down the digits you must dial before you can dial a remote area code.
North America,
Long-Distance Example
Euro, National Call
Example

whether by voip or by
PSTN. “0” must
immediately precede area
code of dialed number.
Answer: write down 81.
Answer: write down 90.

Some PBXs will not ‘hand off’ the “8” or “9” to the voip. But for those PBX units that do, it’s important to enter the
“8” or “9” in the “Remove Prefix” field in the Outbound Phonebook. This precludes the problem of having to make
two inbound phonebook entries at remote voips, one to account for situations where “8” is used as the PBX access
digit, and another for when “9” is used.
7. If you intend to use a SIP Proxy, enter the relevant information in the Call Signaling screen.
8. Enter the IP address of the MultiVOIP that you want to call.
9. Click OK to exit from the Outbound Phonebook Add Entry screen.

2. Go to Phone Book | Inbound Phonebook | Add Entry.
3. In the “Remove Prefix” field, enter your local calling code (area code, country code, city code, etc.)
preceded by any other “access digits” that are required to reach your local site from the remote voip
location (think of it as though the call were being made through the PSTN – even though it will not be).

5. In the “Channel Number” field, enter “Hunting.” A “hunting” value means the voip unit will assign the
call to the first available channel. If desired, specific channels can be assigned to specific incoming calls
(i.e., to any set of calls received with a particular incoming dialing pattern).
6. In the “Description” field, it is useful to describe the ultimate destination of the calls. For example, in a
New York City voip system, “incoming calls to Manhattan office,” might describe a phonebook entry, as
might the descriptor “incoming calls to NYC local calling area.” The description should make the routing
of calls easy to understand. (40 characters max.)

Phonebook Tips
MultiVOIP FXS Quick Start Guide
Phonebook Tips
Preparing the phonebook for your voip system is a complex task that, at first, seems quite daunting. These
tips may make the task easier.
1. Use Dialing Patterns, Not Complete Phone Numbers. You will not generally enter complete phone numbers
in the voip phonebook. Instead, you’ll enter “destination patterns” that involve area codes and other digits.
If the destination pattern is a whole area code, you’ll be assigning all calls to that area code to go to a
particular voip which has a unique IP address. If your destination pattern includes an area code plus a
particular local phone exchange number, then the scope of calls sent through your voip system will be
narrowed (only calls within that local exchange will be handled by the designated voip, not all calls in that
whole area code). In general, when there are fewer digits in your destination pattern, you are asking the
voip to handle calls to more destinations.
2. The Four Types of Phonebook Digits Used. Important!
“Destination patterns” to be entered in your phonebook will generally consist of:
(a) calling area codes,
(b) access codes,
(c) local exchange numbers, and
(d) specialized codes.
Although voip phonebook entries may look confusing at first, it’s useful to remember that all the digits in
any phonebook entry must be of one of these four types.
(a) calling area codes. There are different names for these around the world: “area codes,” “city codes,”
“country codes,” etc. These codes, are used when making non-local calls. They always precede the phone
number that would be dialed when making a local call.
(b) access codes. There are digits (PSTN access codes) that must be dialed to gain access to an operator, to
access the publicly switched ‘long-distance’ calling system(North America), to access the publicly switched
‘national’ calling system (Europe and elsewhere), or to access the publicly switched ‘international’ calling
system (worldwide).
There are digits (PBX access codes) that must be dialed by phones connected to PBX systems or key systems.
Often a “9” must be dialed on a PBX phone to gain access to the PSTN (‘to get an outside line’). Sometimes
“8” must be dialed on a PBX phone to divert calls onto a leased line or to a voip system. However,
sometimes PBX systems are ‘smart’ enough to route calls to a voip system without a special access code (so
that “9” might still be used for all calls outside of the building).
There are also digits (special access codes) that must be dialed to gain access to a particular discount long-
distance carrier or to some other closed or proprietary telephone system.
(c) local exchange numbers. Within any calling area there will be many local exchange numbers. A single
exchange may be used for an entire small town. In cities, an exchange may be used for a particular
neighborhood (although exchanges in cities do not always cover easily discernible areas). Organizations
like businesses, governments, schools, and universities are also commonly assigned exchange numbers for
their exclusive use. In some cases, these organizational-assigned exchanges can become non-localized
because the exchange is assigned to one facility and linked, by the organization’s private network, to other
sometimes distant locations.
(d) specialized codes. Some proprietary voip units assign, to sites and phone stations, numbers that are not
compatible with PSTN numbering. This can also occur in PBX or key systems. These specialized numbers
must be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Phonebook Tips
3. Knowing When to Drop Digits.
Example
When calling area codes and
access codes are used in
combination, a leading “1” or “0”
must sometimes be dropped.
Area code for Inner London is
listed as “0207.” However, in
international calls the leading
“0” is dropped.

4. Using a Comma.
Detail
Commas are used in telephone
dialing strings to indicate a pause
to allow a dial tone to appear
(common on PBX and key
systems). Commas may be used
only in the “Add Prefix” field of
the Inbound Phonebook.
,
= 1-second pause
in many PBX systems
(not needed in all)
5. Ease of Use. The phonebook setup determines how easy the voip system is to use. Generally, you’ll
want to make it so dialing a voip call is very similar to dialing any other number (on the PSTN or through
the PBX).
6. Avoid Unintentional Calls to Official/Emergency Numbers. Dialing a voip call will typically be somewhat
different than ordinary dialing. Because of this, it’s possible to set up situations, quite unwittingly, where
phone users may be predisposed to call official numbers without intending to do so. Conversely, a
voip/PBX system might also make it difficult to place an official/emergency call when one intends to do so.
Study your phonebook setup and do some test-dialing on the system to avoid these pitfalls.
7. Inbound/Outbound Pattern Matching. In general, the Inbound Phonebook entries of the local voip unit will
match the Outbound Phonebook entries of the remote voip unit. Similarly, the Outbound Phonebook
entries of the local voip unit will match the Inbound Phonebook entries of the remote voip unit. There will
often be non-matching entries, but it’s nonetheless useful to notice the matching between the phonebooks.
8. Simulating Network in-lab/on-benchtop. One common method of configuring a voip network is to set up a
local IP network in a lab, connect voip units to it, and perhaps have phones connected on channel banks to
make test calls.

MultiVOIP & Auxiliary Software
MultiVOIP FX User Guide
Introduction
The software (firmware) that runs the MVPFXS-8/16/24 unit resides within the unit and is contacted
through a web browser. As such, there is no MultiVOIP configuration software to install. However, the PC
operating the web browser GUI must be equipped with an up-to-date version of Java. If an up-to-date
version is not already present on the PC, it must be installed from the MultiVOIP CD or from the Java
website.
The Java software, the other auxiliary software, and the User Guide are contained on the MultiVOIP
product CD. Because the CD is auto-detectable, it will start up automatically when you insert it into your
CD-ROM drive. When you have finished loading the Java program, you can view and print the User Guide
by clicking on the View Manuals icon.
Java is necessary to operate the MultiVOIP GUI. In addition to Java, other optional 3rd-party software
packages are necessary to take advantage of certain optional auxiliary MultiVOIP functions. These include
programs for SysLog, FTP, and TFTP.
Summary
Configuring software for your MultiVOIP entails three tasks:
(1) loading an up-to-date version of Java onto the PC to enable the web-GUI to operate and, if required,
loading other auxiliary software,
(2) setting values for telephony and IP parameters that will fit your system (this is “Technical
Configuration” and it is discussed in Chapter 5), and
(3) establishing “phonebooks” that contain the various dialing patterns for VOIP calls made to different
locations (this is “Phonebook Configuration” and it is discussed in Chapter 6).

Technical Configuration
MultiVOIP FXS User Guide
Configuring the MultiVOIP
There are two ways in which the MultiVOIP must be configured before operation: technical configuration
and phonebook configuration.
Technical Configuration. First, the MultiVOIP must be configured to operate with technical parameter
settings that will match the equipment with which it interfaces. There are five types of technical parameters
that must be set.
These technical parameters pertain to
(1) its operation in an IP network,
(2) its operation with telephony equipment,
(3) its transmission of voice and fax messages,
(4) certain telephony attributes that are common to particular nations or regions,
(5) selecting the method by which log reports will be made accessible.
The process of specifying values for the various parameters in these seven categories is what we call
“technical configuration” and it is described in this chapter.
Phonebook Configuration. The second type of configuration that is required for the MultiVOIP pertains to
the phone number dialing sequences that it will receive and transmit when handling calls. Dialing patterns
will be affected by both the PBX/telephony equipment and the other VOIP devices that the MultiVOIP unit
interacts with. We call this “Phonebook Configuration,” and, for analog MultiVOIP units, it is described in
Chapter 6. The Quick Start Guide chapter presents additional information on phonebook setup.
Local/Remote Configuration. The MultiVOIP is configured through a web browser. The MultiVOIP is
factory configured to this IP address: 192.168.2.1.
Certain functions (like update/upgrade of firmware version) and changing the MultiVOIP’s IP address can
be done locally via a hard-wired connection between a PC serial port and the MultiVOIP’s “Console” port.

When set, the D bit requests low delay, the T bit requests high throughput, and the R bit requests high reliability.
Routers that support DiffServ can examine the six DSCP bits and prioritize the packet based on the DSCP value. The
DiffServ Parameters fields in the MultiVOIP IP Parameters screen allow you to configure the DSCP bits to values supported
by the router. Specifically, the Voip Media PHB field relates to the prioritizing of audio packets (RTP and RTCP packets)
and the Call Control PHB field relates to the prioritzing of non-audio packets (packets concerning call set-up and tear-down,
gatekeeper registration, etc.).
The MultiVOIP Call Control PHB parameter defaults to 34 decimal (22 hex; 100010 binary – consider vis-à-vis TOS field
above) for Assured Forwarding behavior. The MultiVOIP Voip Media PHB parameter defaults to the value 46 decimal (2E

The AutoCall option enables the local MultiVOIP to call a remote
MultiVOIP without the user having to dial a Phone Directory
Database number. As soon as you access the local MultiVOIP
voice/fax channel, the MultiVOIP immediately connects to the
remote MultiVOIP identified in the Phone Number box of this
option.
This function applies on a channel-by-channel basis. It would not
be appropriate for this function to be applied to a channel that
serves in a pool of available channels for general phone traffic.
This function requires an entry in the Outgoing phonebook of the
local MultiVOIP and a matched setting in the Inbound Phonebook
of the remote voip.

Dynamic Jitter
Dynamic
Dynamic Jitter defines a minimum and a maximum jitter
value for voice communications. When receiving voice
packets from a remote MultiVOIP, varying delays between
packets may occur due to network traffic problems. This is
called Jitter. To compensate, the MultiVOIP uses a Dynamic
Jitter Buffer. The Jitter Buffer enables the MultiVOIP to wait
for delayed voice packets by automatically adjusting the
length of the Jitter Buffer between configurable minimum
and maximum values. The length of the jitter buffer directly
effects the voice delay between MultiVOIP gateways.
Jitter Buffer
Minimum

The minimum dynamic jitter buffer of 20 milliseconds is the
minimum delay that would be acceptable over a low jitter
network.

The starting value (in ms) of the Jitter Buffer. This value
will change itself from the starting value depending on the
needs of the jitter buffer. For example, if you set the initial
value at 100, it may end up scaling itself down to 20 or up to
200 to meet the needs of operating conditions.

Caller ID information is a description of the remote calling party received
by the called party. The description has three parts: name of caller,
phone number of caller, and time of call. The ‘time-of-call’ portion is

In general, the forms of the ‘Caller Name’ and ‘Caller Phone Number’
differ depending on the IP transmission protocol used (H.323, SIP, or
SPP) and upon entries in the phonebook screens of the remote (CID
generating) voip unit. For MVPFXS units, only the SIP-related Caller ID
options are available. The CID Name and Number appearing on the

switch (showing a PSTN phone number), or the phonebook of the remote
(CID sending) voip unit.

MultiVOIP FXS User Guide
Configuring MultiVOIP Phonebooks
When a VoIP serves a PBX system, it’s important that the operation of the VoIP be transparent to the
telephone end user. That is, the VoIP should not entail the dialing of extra digits to reach users elsewhere
on the network that the VoIP serves. On the contrary, VOIP service more commonly reduces dialed digits
by allowing users (served by PBXs in facilities in distant cities) to dial their co-workers with 3-, 4-, or 5-digit
extensions as if they were in the same facility.
Furthermore, the setup of the VoIP generally should allow users to make calls on a non-toll basis to any
numbers accessible without toll by users at all other locations on the VoIP system. Consider, for example, a
company with VOIP-equipped offices in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, each served by its own PBX.
When the VOIP phone books are set correctly, personnel in the Miami office should be able to make calls
without toll not only to the company’s offices in New York and Los Angeles, but also to any number that’s
local in those two cities.
To achieve transparency of the VoIP telephony system and to give full access to all types of non-toll calls
made possible by the VOIP system, the VoIP administrator must properly configure the “Outbound” and
“Inbound” phone-books of each VoIP in the system.
The “Outbound” phonebook for a particular VoIP unit describes the dialing sequences required for a call to
originate locally (typically in a PBX in a particular facility) and reach any of its possible destinations at
remote VoIP sites, including non-toll calls completed in the PSTN at the remote site.
The “Inbound” phonebook for a particular VoIP unit describes the dialing sequences required for a call to
originate remotely from any other VOIP sites in the system, and to terminate on that particular VOIP.
Briefly stated, the MultiVOIP’s Outbound phonebook lists the phone stations it can call; its Inbound phonebook
describes the dialing sequences that can be used to call that MultiVOIP and how those calls will be directed. (Of
course, the phone numbers are not literally “listed” individually, but are, instead, described by rule.)
Consider two types of calls in the three-city system described above: (1) calls originating from the Miami
office and terminating in the New York (Manhattan) office, and (2) calls originating from the Miami office
and terminating in New York City but off the company’s premises in an adjacent area code, an area code
different than the company’s office but still a local call from that office (e.g., Staten Island).
The first type of call requires an entry in the Outbound PhoneBook of the Miami VOIP and a coordinated
entry in the Inbound phonebook of the New York VOIP. These entries would allow the Miami caller to dial
the New York office as if its phones were extensions on the Miami PBX.
The second type of call similarly requires an entry in the Outbound PhoneBook of the Miami VOIP and a
coordinated entry in the Inbound Phonebook of the New York VOIP. However, these entries will be longer
and more complicated. Any Miami call to New York City local numbers will be sent through the VOIP
system rather than through the regular toll public phone system (PSTN). But the phonebook entries can be
arranged so that the VOIP system is transparent to the Miami user, such that even though that Miami user
dials the New York City local number just as they would through the public phone system, that call will
still be completed through the VOIP system.
This PhoneBook Configuration procedure is brief, but it is followed by an example case. For many people,
the example case may be easier to grasp than the procedure steps. Configuration is not difficult, but all
phone number sequences and other information must be entered exactly; otherwise connections will not be
made.

Phonebook Examples
The following example demonstrates how Outbound and Inbound PhoneBook entries work in a situation
of multiple area codes (as in the Minneapolis metro area). This example also illustrates that MVPFXS voips
allow remote callers access only to specific phone stations connected to the MVPFXS voip and do not allow
remote callers access to the local PSTN in which the MVPFXS unit is located. Consider a company with
offices in Minneapolis and Baltimore. The system depicted is SIP-only. In the Minneapolis office, an
MVPFX2-8 unit is used and it affords both FXS and FXO interfaces. By contrast, in the Baltimore office, an
MVPFXS-24 voip is used adn it offers the FXS interface only.
2 Site Example
Notice first the area code situation in those two cities: Minneapolis’s local calling area consists of multiple
adjacent area codes; Baltimore’s local calling area consists of a base area code plus an overlay area code area
code 443), but, since the voip used in Baltimore is FXS-only, it does not offer access to the local PSTN. That
is, Minneapolis voip callers can call phone stations in the Baltimore office only; they cannot call into the 410
or 443 area codes using the voip system.

MultiVOIP FXS User Guide
To call the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, a Baltimore employee must dial eleven digits.
If a Baltimore employee dials any phone number in the 612 area code, the call will automatically be handled
by the company’s voip system. Upon receiving such a call, the Minneapolis voip will remove the digits
“1612”. But before the suburban-Minneapolis voip can complete the call to the PSTN of the Minneapolis
local calling area, it must dial “9” (to get an outside line from the PBX) and then a comma (which denotes a
pause to get a PSTN dial tone) and then the 10-digit phone number which includes the area code (612 for
the city of Minneapolis; which is different than the area code of the suburb where the PBX is actually
located -- 763).
A similar sequence of events occurs when the Baltimore employee calls number in the 651 and 952 area
codes because number in both of these area codes are local calls in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
The simplest case is a call from Baltimore to a phone within the Minneapolis/St. Paul area code where the
company’s voip and PBX are located, namely 763. In that case, that local voip removes 1763 and dials 9 to
direct the call to its local 7-digit PSTN.
Finally, consider the longest entry in the Minneapolis Inbound Phonebook, “17637175. Note that the main
phone number of the Minneapolis PBX is 763-717-5170. The destination pattern 17637175 means that all
calls to Minneapolis employees will stay within the suburban Minneapolis PBX and will not reach or be
carried on the local PSTN.

Similarly, the Inbound PhoneBook for the Baltimore VOIP (shown first below) generally matches the
Outbound PhoneBook of the Minneapolis VOIP (shown second below).
Each entry corresponds to a phone station of the Baltimore voip. This phonebook arrangement allows
Minneapolis users to contact Baltimore co-workers as though they were in the Minneapolis facility, using
numbers in the range 7001 to 7024.
The Outbound PhoneBook for the Minneapolis VOIP is shown below. The destination pattern, “7” lets
Minneapolis employees call Baltimore co-workers using only local-appearing extensions.
Because the VOIP in Baltimore is FXS-only, Minneapolis VOIP users cannot call numbers in the local
Baltimore PSTN through the VOIP system. Minneapolis VOIP users can only use the VOIP system to call
Baltimore phones connected to the FXS terminal block in Baltimore.

Configuring Mixed Digital/Analog VOIP Systems
Analog MultiVOIP units, like the MVPFXS-8/16/24, MVPFX2-2/4/8, and the MVP-
210/410/810/410SS/810SS units are compatible with digital MultiVOIP units like the MVP2410. In many
cases, digital and analog VOIP units will appear in the same telephony/IP system. In addition to MVP-
210/410/810 MultiVOIP units (Series II units), legacy analog VOIP units (Series I units made by MultiTech)
may be included in the system, as well. When legacy VOIP units are included, the VOIP administrator
must handle two styles of phonebooks in the same VOIP network. The diagram below shows a small-scale
system of this kind: one digital VOIP (the MVP2410) operates with a Series II analog VOIP (an MVP410),
and two Series I legacy VOIPs (two MVP200 units) and an MVPFXS-24.

Note 2. By specifying “Channel 0,” we instruct the MVP2400/2410 to choose any
available data channel to carry the call.
Note 3. Note that Site F key system has only 30 extensions (x7400-7429). This
destination pattern (140226374xx) actually directs calls to 402-263-7430 through
402-263-7499 into the key system, as well.
This means that such calls, which belong on the PSTN, cannot be completed.
In some cases, this might be inconsequential because an entire exchange (fully
used or not) might have been reserved for the company or it might be
unnecessary to reach those numbers. However, to specify only the 30 lines
actually used by the key system, the destination pattern 140226374xx would
have to be replaced by three other destination patterns, namely 1402263740xx,
1402263741xx, and 1402263742xx. In this way, calls to 402-263-7430 through
402-263-7499 would be properly directed to the PSTN. In the Site D outbound
phonebook, the 30 lines are defined exactly, that is, without making any
adjacent phone numbers unreachable through the voip system.

2. Hear dial tone from Site B VOIP.
3. Dial 201.
4. Await completion. Talk.
Site D calling Site C
1. Dial 915077175792.
2. “9” gets outside line. On some PBXs, an “8” may be used to direct calls to the VOIP, while “9”
directs calls to the PSTN. However, some PBX units can be programmed to identify the destination
patterns of all calls to be directed to the VOIP.
3. PBX at Site D is programmed to divert all calls made to the 507 area code and exchange 717 into the
VOIP network. (It would also be possible to divert all calls to all phones in area code 507 into the
VOIP network, but it may not be desirable to do so.)
4. The MVP2410 removes the prefix “1507” and adds the prefix “101#” for compatibility with the
analog MultiVOIP’s phonebook scheme. The “#” is a delimiter separating the analog VOIP’s phone
number from the digits that the analog VOIP must dial onto its local PSTN to complete the call.
The digits “101#7175792” are forwarded to the Site B analog VOIP.
5. The call passes through the IP network (in this case, the Internet).
6. The call arrives at the Site B VOIP. This analog VOIP receives this dialing string from the MVP2410:
101#7175792. The analog VOIP, seeing the “101” prefix, uses its own channel #1 (an FXO port) to
connect the call to the PSTN. Then the analog VOIP dials its local phone number 7175792 to
complete the call.

Site D calling Site F
A voip call from Pierre PBX to extension 7424 on the key telephone system in Lincoln, Nebraska.
A. The required entry in the Pierre Outbound Phonebook to facilitate origination of the call, would be 1402263742.
The call would be directed to the Lincoln voip’s IP address, 200.2.9.5.
(Generally on such a call, the caller would have to dial an initial “9.” But typically the PBX would not pass the
initial “9” to the voip. If the PBX did pass along that “9” however, its removal would have to be specified in the
local Outbound Phonebook.)
B. The corresponding entry in the Lincoln Inbound Phonebook to facilitate completion of the call would be
1402263742
1402
for calls within the office at Lincoln
for calls to the Lincoln local calling area (PSTN).

1. Caller at Pierre dials 914022637424.
2. Pierre PBX removes “9” and passes 14022637424 to voip.
3. Pierre voip passes remaining string, 14022637424 on to the Lincoln voip
at IP address 200.2.9.5.
4. The dialed string matches an inbound phonebook entry at the Lincoln voip, namely 1402263742.
5. The Lincoln voip rings one of the three FXS ports connected to the Lincoln
key phone system.
6. The call will be routed to extension 7424 either by a human receptionist/

A voip call from a Lincoln key extension to extension 3117 on the PBX in Pierre, South Dakota.
A. The required entry in the Lincoln Outbound Phonebook to facilitate origination of the call, would be “31”. The
string “1615492” would have to be added as a prefix. The call would be directed to the Pierre voip’s IP address,
200.2.9.9.
B. The corresponding entry in the Pierre Inbound Phonebook to facilitate completion of the call would be
161549231.

assigned to a particular voip channel (any one of the three FXS ports).
2. The caller at Lincoln hears dial tone from the Lincoln voip.
3. The caller at Lincoln dials 3117.
4. The Lincoln voip adds the prefix 1615492 and sends the entire dialing string, 16154923117, to the Pierre
voip
at IP address 200.2.9.9.
5. The Pierre voip matches the called digits 16154923117 to its Inbound Phonebook entry “161549231” .
6. The Pierre PBX dials extension 3117 in the office at Pierre.
Site D calling Site E
A voip call from a Pierre PBX extension to extension 427 on the voip in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
1. Dial 8427.
2. The “8” accesses the voip network.
3. The Pierre PBX passes the digits 427 to the voip.
4. The call arrives at the Site E voip and goes to channel 7, which is extension 427.
Variations in PBX Characteristics
The exact dialing strings needed in the Outbound and Inbound Phonebooks of the MultiVOIP units will
depend on the capabilities of the PBX. Some PBXs require trunk access codes (like an “8” or “9” to access
an outside line or to access the VOIP network). Other PBXs can automatically distinguish between intra-
PBX calls, PSTN calls, and VOIP calls.
Some PBX units can also insert digits automatically when they receive certain dialing strings from a phone
station. For example, a PBX may be programmable to insert automatically the three-digit VOIP identifier
strings into calls to be directed to analog VOIPs.
The MultiVOIP offers complete flexibility for inter-operation with PBX units so that a coherent dialing
scheme can be established to connect a company’s multiple sites together in a way that is convenient and
intuitive for phone users. When working together with modern PBX units, the presence of the MultiVOIP
can be completely transparent to phone users within the company.

UDP versus TCP. (User Datagram Protocol versus Transmission Control Protocol).
UDP provides unguaranteed, connectionless transmission of data across an IP network.
By contrast, TCP provides reliable, connection-oriented transmission of data.
Both TCP and UDP split data into packets called “datagrams.” However, TCP includes
extra headers in the datagram to enable retransmission of lost packets and reassembly of
packets into their correct order if they arrive out of order. UDP does not provide this.
Lost UDP packets are unretrievable; that is, out-of-order UDP packets cannot be
reconstituted in their proper order..
Despite these obvious disadvantages, UDP packets can be transmitted much faster than
TCP packets -- as much as three times faster. In certain applications, like audio and
video data transmission, the need for high speed outweighs the need for verified data
integrity. Sound or pictures often remain intelligible despite a certain amount of lost or
disordered data packets (which appear as static).

About Passwords & Login/Logout from Specific Computers
The first time you access the MultiVOIP web GUI from a particular computer, you must enter the
Username and Password.
If you close the browser without logging out (by clicking on Logout and clicking Yes), you will be able to
access the MultiVOIP again for the next 15 minutes from that computer without logging in (that is, without
entering your Username and Password). Be aware of the security risk of closing the browser without logging out
of the MultiVOIP program. If other users have access to that computer and if you want to prevent them from
accessing the MultiVOIP unit, you must log out after using the MultiVOIP program.
After you log out of the MultiVOIP web GUI, you will be required to enter your Username and Password
to gain access to the MultiVOIP web GUI program.
Only one password can be assigned and it works for all MultiVOIP software functions (web browser GUI
and FTP server – only the FTP Server function requires a User Name in addition to the password). After a
password has been set, that password is required to access the MultiVOIP web browser GUI.
NOTE: Record your user name and password in a safe place. If the password is lost, forgotten, or
unretrievable, the user must contact MultiTech Tech Support in order to resume use of the
MultiVOIP web browser GUI.

Upgrading MultiVOIP Firmware
Introduction
From time to time, a new version of the MVPFXS firmware may be issued. When a new firmware version is issued, you can
overwrite the MultiVOIP with the new code either by using a TFTP server or by using an FTP client and contacting the FTP
server that resides on the MVPFXS unit itself. It is also possible to update the firmware by a serial connection without FTP
or TFTP, but that method of transfer is extremely slow. In the sections that follow, we present updating procedures using
FTP (preferred) or TFTP.
Identifying Current Firmware Version
Use the System Information screen to identify the current version of firmware on the MultiVOIP unit.
Obviously, if you are considering upgrading the firmware, you want to be sure that the new firmware is indeed at a higher
revision level than the firmware currently on your MultiVOIP.

Obtaining Updated Firmware
Generally, updated firmware must be downloaded from the MultiTech web/FTP site to the user’s PC
before it can be downloaded from that PC to the MultiVOIP.
Note that the structure of the MultiTech web/FTP site may change without notice. However, firmware
updates can generally be found using standard web techniques. For example, you can access updated
firmware by doing a search or by clicking on Support.
If you conduct a search, for example, on the word “MultiVoip,” you will be directed to a list of firmware
that can be downloaded.
If you choose Support, you can select “MultiVoip” in the Product Support menu and then click on

Upgrading MultiVOIP Firmware via FTP Client and Voip’s Built-In
FTP Server Function
MultiTech has built an FTP server into the MultiVOIP unit. Therefore, file transfers from the controller PC
to the voip unit can be done using an FTP client program or even using a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer,
Netscape, or FireFox, used in conjunction with Windows Explorer).
The terminology of “downloads” and “uploads” gets a bit confusing in this context. File transfers from a
client to a server are typically considered “uploads.” File transfers from a large repository of data to
machines with less data capacity are considered “downloads.” In this case, these metaphors are
contradictory: the FTP server is actually housed in the MultiVOIP unit, and the controller PC, which is
actually the repository of the info to be transferred, uses an FTP client program. In this situation, we have
chosen to call the transfer of files from the PC to the voip “downloads.” (Be aware that some FTP client
programs may use the opposite terminology, i.e., they may refer to the file transfer as an “upload “)
You can download firmware, the file system, and MSP firmware for the MultiVOIP unit with this FTP
functionality. These downloads are done over a network, not by a local serial port connection.
Consequently, voips at distant locations can be updated from a central control point.

MultiVOIP FXS User Guide
Operation & Maintenance
To transfer files using the FTP server functionality in the MultiVOIP, follow these directions.
1. Establish Network Connection and IP Addresses. Both the controller PC and the MultiVOIP unit(s)
must be connected to the same IP network. An IP address must be assigned for each.
IP Address of Control PC
IP Address of voip unit #1
____ .
____ .

2. Establish User Name and Password. You must establish a user name and (optionally) a password for
contacting the voip over the IP network. (When connection is made via a local serial connection between
the PC and the voip unit, no user name is needed.)
As shown above, the username and password must be set in the web GUI.

3. Install FTP Client Program or Use Substitute. You should install an FTP client program on the controller
PC. FTP file transfers can be done using a web browser (e.g., Mozilla or Internet Explorer) in conjunction
with a local Windows browser a (e.g., Windows Explorer), but this approach is somewhat clumsy (it
requires use of two application programs rather than one) and it limits downloading to only one VOIP unit
at a time. With an FTP client program, multiple voips can receive FTP file transmissions in response to a
single command (the transfers may occur serially however).
Although MultiTech does not provide an FTP client program with the MultiVOIP software or endorse any
particular FTP client program, we remind our readers that adequate FTP programs are readily available
under retail, shareware and freeware licenses. (Read and observe any End-User License Agreement
carefully.) Two examples of this are the “WSFTP” client and the “SmartFTP” client, with the former having
an essentially text-based interface and the latter having a more graphically oriented interface, as of this
writing. User preferences will vary. Examples here show use of both programs.
4. Enable FTP Functionality. Go to the IP Parameters screen and click on the “FTP Server: Enable” box.
FTP is enabled by default. You would need to re-enable it only if it had been turned off.

6. Contact MultiVOIP FTP Server. You must make contact with the FTP Server in the voip using either a
web browser or FTP client program. Enter the IP address of the MultiVOIP’s FTP Server. If you are using a
browser, the address must be preceded by “ftp://” (otherwise you’ll reach the web GUI within the
MultiVOIP unit).
7. Log In. Use the User Name and password established in item #2 above. The login screens will differ

You may be asked to confirm the overwriting of files on the MultiVOIP. Do so.
File transfer between PC and voip will look like transfer within voip directories.
Before attempting to update any other files, wait at least 3 minutes (which allows time for the MultiVOIP to
reboot). (When the Boot light is off, the rebooting process is complete.) After this 3-minute wait, you can
re-connect to the MultiVOIP’s FTP server and update another file.

the TFTP server) at the mvp-boot> prompt. Then press Enter.
Note: When using the setenv command, be careful in your spelling. If you mis-spell serverip as “seeverip” for example, the
ARMBoot program will create a new and useless variable entitled seeverip and will not change the value of the serverip
variable.

SysLog Server Functions
MultiTech has built SysLog server functionality into the software of the MultiVOIP units. SysLog is a de
facto standard for logging events in network communication systems.
The SysLog Server resides in the MultiVOIP unit itself. To implement this functionality, you will need a
SysLog client program (sometimes referred to as a “daemon”). SysLog client programs, both paid and
freeware, can be obtained from Kiwi Enterprises, among other firms. Read the End-User License
Agreement carefully and observe license requirements. See www.kiwisyslog.com. SysLog client programs
essentially give you a means of structuring console messages for convenience and ease of use.
MultiTech Systems does not endorse any particular SysLog client program. SysLog client programs by
qualified providers should suffice for use with MultiVOIP units. Kiwi’s brief description of their SysLog
program is as follows:
“Kiwi Syslog Daemon is a freeware Syslog Daemon for the Windows platform. It
receives, logs, displays and forwards Syslog messages from hosts such as routers,
switches, Unix hosts and any other syslog enabled device. There are many
customizable options available.”
Before a SysLog client program is used, the SysLog functionality must be enabled within the MultiVOIP in
the Logs menu under Configuration.
The IP Address used will be that of the MultiVOIP itself.
In the Port field, entered by default, is the standard (‘well-known’) logical port, 514.

Configuring the SysLog Client Program. Configure the SysLog client program for your own needs. In
various SysLog client programs, you can define where log messages will be saved/archived, opt for
interaction with an SNMP system (not applicable for MVPFXS units), set the content and format of log
messages, determine disk space allocation limits for log messages, and establish a hierarchy for the
seriousness of messages (normal, alert, critical, emergency, etc.). A sample presentation of SysLog info in
the Kiwi daemon is shown below. SysLog programs will vary in features and presentation.

TCP/UDP Port Assignments
Well Known Port Numbers
The following description of port number assignments for Internet Protocol (IP) communication is taken from the Internet
Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) web site (www.iana.org).
“The Well Known Ports are assigned by the IANA and on most systems can
only be used by system (or root) processes or by programs executed by
privileged users. Ports are used in the TCP [RFC793] to name the ends of
logical connections which carry long term conversations. For the purpose of
providing services to unknown callers, a service contact port is defined. This list
specifies the port used by the server process as its contact port. The contact port
is sometimes called the "well-known port". To the extent possible, these same
port assignments are used with the UDP [RFC768]. The range for assigned ports
managed by the IANA is 0-1023.”
Well-known port numbers especially pertinent to MultiVOIP operation are listed below.
