Chapter 1 – Product Overview
The MultiVOIP gateways, MVP210, MVP410, and MVP810 provide toll‐free voice and fax communications over
the Internet or an Intranet. By integrating voice and fax into your existing data network, you can substantially
save on inter‐office long distance toll charges. MultiVOIP gateways connect directly to phones, fax machines, key
systems, PSTN lines, or a PBX to provide real‐time, toll‐quality voice connections to any office on your VOIP
network. The –SS series models only support the SIP protocol through the FXS/FXO interface with SIP
survivability as well.
An illustration of the MVP410/810 chassis follows.
An illustration of the MVP210 chassis follows
The MultiVOIP model MVP210 is a two‐channel unit, the model MVP410 is a four‐channel, and the MVP810 is an
eight‐channel unit. All of these units have a 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface and a command port for
configuration. The MVP428 is an expansion circuit card for the four‐channel MVP410 that turns it into an eight‐
channel MVP810.
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.

Interfaces to Help You Use the MultiVOIP
Two interfaces help you use your MultiVOIP:
●
●
A web interface
Windows software interface
The web interface and the Windows interface share content and organizational attributes. However, each
interface has different logging capabilities.
Overview of Front Panel LEDs
Eight sets of channel‐operation LEDs appear on both the MVP410 and MVP810 models. However, on the
MVP410, only the lower four sets of channel‐operation LEDs are functional. On the MVP810, all eight sets are
functional.
An illustration of the MVP410/810 LEDs follows.
The MVP210 models have the general‐operation indicator LEDs and two sets of channel‐operation LEDs. An
illustration of the MVP210 LEDs follows.

Mounting MVP410 and MVP810 in Racks
You can mount the MultiVOIPs in an industry‐standard EIA 19‐inch rack enclosure.
Safety Recommendations for Rack Installations
Ensure proper installation of the unit in a closed or multi‐unit enclosure by following the recommended
installation as defined by the enclosure manufacturer. Do not place the unit directly on top of other equipment
or place other equipment directly on top of the unit. If installing the unit in a closed or multi‐unit enclosure,
ensure adequate airflow within the rack so that the maximum recommended ambient temperature is not
exceeded. Ensure that the unit is properly connected to earth ground by verifying that it is reliably grounded
when mounted within a rack. If a power strip is used, ensure that the power strip provides adequate grounding
of the attached apparatus.
When mounting the equipment in the rack, make sure mechanical loading is even to avoid a hazardous
condition. The rack used should safely support the combined weight of all the equipment it supports.
Ensure that the mains supply circuit is capable of handling the load of the equipment. See the power label on the
equipment for load requirements (full specifications for MultiVOIP models are presented in chapter 1 of this manual).
This equipment should only be installed by properly qualified service personnel. Only connect like circuits ‐ connect SELV
(Secondary Extra Low Voltage) circuits to SELV circuits and TN (Telecommunications Network) circuits to TN circuits.
Installing into 19-Inch Rack
Attaching the MultiVOIP to a rack‐rail of an EIA 19‐inch rack enclosure requires two people.
You must attach the brackets to the MultiVOIP chassis with the screws provided, as shown the first figure that
follows, and then secure unit to rack rails by the brackets, as shown in the second figure that follows. Because
equipment racks vary, screws for rack‐rail mounting are not provided. Follow the instructions of the rack
manufacturer and use screws that fit.
1. Position the right rack‐mounting bracket on the MultiVOIP using the two vertical mounting screw holes.
2. Secure the bracket to the MultiVOIP using the two screws provided.
3. Position the left rack‐mounting bracket on the MultiVOIP using the two vertical mounting screw holes.
4. Secure the bracket to the MultiVOIP using the two screws provided.
5. Remove feet (4) from the MultiVOIP unit.
6. Mount the MultiVOIP in the rack enclosure. Use the rack manufacture’s mounting procedure to do so.

5. Position the jumper for each DID channel so that it does not connect the two jumper posts. For DID
operation of a VOIP channel, the MultiVOIP works properly if you simply remove the jumper altogether, but
that is inadvisable because the jumper might be needed later if a different telephony interface is used for
that VOIP channel.
6. Slide the main circuit card back into the MultiVOIP chassis and replace the three screws.

Setting Interface Parameters
The Interface parameters control the telephony settings that are applied to the individual MultiVOIP channels.
Configure each channel for the type of interface you are using. Channel 1 is selected by default.
Note: Features are available or unavailable depending on the selected interface type. The one option available
for all interface types is the inter digit timer option. This option defines the maximum time that the unit waits
before mapping the dialed digits to an entry in the phone book database. If too much time elapses between
digits, and the wrong numbers are mapped, you hear a rapid busy signal. If this happens, hang up and dial again.
If the Interface Type is FXS (Loop Start), a station device such as an analog telephone, fax machine or KTS (Key
Telephone System) is connected to an analog channel. The FXS options group is active.
If the Interface Type is FXO, the Dialing Options Regeneration, Flash Hook Timer and Ring Count groups are
enabled. The FXO Ring Count allows you to set the number of rings before the unit answers the incoming call.
Check with your local in‐house phone personnel to verify whether your local PBX dial signaling is pulse or tone
(DTMF). The Flash Hook Options Generation setting allows you to enter the time, in milliseconds, for the
duration of the flash hook signal.
If the Interface Type is E & M, you are connecting to an analog E & M trunk on your PBX. Check with your in‐
house phone personnel to determine the signaling type (Dial Tone or Wink) and if it is 2‐wire or 4‐wire. The –SS
and –FX series do not support E&M or DID operation.

Setting Call Signaling
There are three choices for Call Signaling: H.323, SIP and SPP, the –SS models only support SIP and the –FX
models support SIP and SPP, but not H.323. It is best to select one of these as the protocol to be used, rather
than mixing them. Single Port Protocol (SPP) is a non‐standard protocol created by Multi‐Tech that allows
dynamic IP allocation. Generally, the default settings do not work for most users. If necessary you can change
individual parameters. Chapter 4 provides details for all settings.

Chapter 4 – Configuring Your
MultiVOIP
Two interfaces help you use your MultiVOIP:
●
●
A web interface
Windows software interface
You must set eight parameters for proper MultiVOIP operation. You must know the IP address used, the IP mask,
the Gateway IP, the Domain Name Server information, and the telephone interface type.
Initially, you must configure the MultiVOIP locally. To do so, use a connection between the command port of the
MultiVOIP and the COM port of the computer. Use the MultiVOIP configuration software to configure the
MultiVOIP.
You can later make changes to the configuration locally or remotely.
Alternatively, MultiVoipManager is a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent program that
extends the capabilities of the MultiVOIP configuration software. MultiVoipManager allows the user to manage
any number of VOIPs on a network, whereas the MultiVOIP configuration software manages only one. The
MultiVoipManager can configure multiple VOIPs simultaneously. MultiVoipManager may reside on the same PC
as the MultiVOIP configuration software.
This chapter explains the setup portion of the software described in the following section.
Chapter 5 describes the Phone Book setup.
Chapter 6 discusses the Statistics options and overall maintenance of the MultiVOIP.

A draft standard of the IEEE about data traffic prioritization on Ethernet networks. The 802.1p draft is an
extension of the 802.1D bridging standard. 802.1D determines how prioritization operates within a MAC‐
layer bridge for any kind of media. The 802.1Q draft for virtual local‐area‐networks (VLANs) addresses
the issue of prioritization for Ethernet networks in particular.
802.1p enacts this Quality‐of‐Service feature using 3 bits. This 3‐bit code allows data switches to reorder
packets based on priority level. The descriptors for the 8 priority levels are given below.
802.1p PRIORITY LEVELS:
LOWEST PRIORITY
1 – Background: Bulk transfers and other activities permitted on the network, but should not affect the
use of network by other users and applications.
2 – Spare: An unused (spare) value of the user priority.
0 – Best Effort (default): Normal priority for ordinary LAN traffic.
3 – Excellent Effort: The best effort type of service that an information services organization would
deliver to its most important customers.

Coder Parameters
Coder
Manual or
Automatic
Determines whether selection of coder is manual or automatic. When
Automatic is selected, the local and remote voice channels negotiate
the voice coder to be used by selecting the highest bandwidth coder
supported by both sides without exceeding the Max Bandwidth
setting. G.723, G.729, or G.711 are negotiated.
Selected Coder

G.727, @ nine bps rates;
G.723.1 @ 5.3 kbps, 6.3 kbps;
G.729, 8kbps;
Select from a range of coders with specific bandwidths. The higher the
bps rate, the more bandwidth is used. The channel that you are calling
must have the same voice coder selected.
Default = G.723.1 @ 6.3 kbps, as required for H.323. Here 64K of digital
voice is compressed to 6.3K, allowing several simultaneous
conversations over the same bandwidth that would otherwise carry
only one.
Net Coder @
6.4, 7.2, 8, 8.8, 9.6 kbps
To make selections from the Selected Coder drop‐down list, the
Manual option must be enabled.
Selected Coder

‐or‐
G.729, G.711
Coder Priority has two options (G.711,G.729 or G.729, G711) on the
Selected Coder listing of the Coder group on the Voice/Fax window. If
G.711 is the higher priority, that is, G.711 is preferred to G729 on the
sending side, then G.711, G.729 option is selected. Similarly, if G.729
has the higher priority, then G.729, G.711 option is selected.
It is used whenever a user wants to advertise both G.711 and G.729
coders with higher preference to a particular coder.
It is useful when the calls are made from a particular channel on the
VOIP to two different destinations where one supports G.711 and the
other supports G.729.
Max bandwidth
(coder)
11 – 128 kbps
This drop‐down list enables you to select the maximum bandwidth
allowed for this channel. The Max Bandwidth drop‐down list is enabled
only if the Coder is set to Automatic.
If coder is to be selected automatically (“Auto” setting), then enter a
value for maximum bandwidth.
Advanced Features
Silence
Compression
Y/N
Determines whether silence compression is enabled (checked) for this
voice channel.
With Silence Compression enabled, the MultiVOIP does not transmit
voice packets when silence is detected, thereby reducing the amount
of network bandwidth that is being used by the voice channel (default
= on).
Echo Cancellation
Y/N
Y/N
Determines whether echo cancellation is enabled (checked) for this
voice channel.
Echo Cancellation removes echo and improves sound quality (default =
on).
Forward Error
Correction
Determines whether forward error correction is enabled (checked) for
this voice channel.
Forward Error Correction enables some of the voice packets that were
corrupted or lost to be recovered. FEC adds an additional 50%
overhead to the total network bandwidth consumed by the voice
channel (default = Off).

AutoCall/Offhook Alert Parameters
Auto Call / Offhook
Alert
AutoCall,
Offhook
Alert
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.
If the “Pass Through Enable” field is checked in the Interface Parameters window,
AutoCall must be used.
The Offhook Alert option applies only to FXS channels.
The Offhook Alert option works like this: if a phone goes off hook and yet no number
is dialed within a specific period of time (as set in the Offhook Alert Timer field), then
that phone automatically dials the Alert phone number for the VOIP channel. (The
Alert phone number must be set in the Voice/Fax Parameters | Phone Number field;
if the VOIP system is working without a gatekeeper unit, there must also be a matching
phone number entry in the Outbound Phonebook.). One use of this feature would be
for emergency use where a user goes off hook but does not dial, possibly indicating a
crisis situation. The Offhook Alert feature uses the Intercept Tone, as listed in the
Regional Parameters window. This tone is outputted on the phone that was taken off
hook but that did not dial. The other end of the connection hears audio from the
“crisis” end, as during a normal phone call.
Both functions apply on a channel‐by‐channel basis. It would not be appropriate for
either of these functions to be applied to a channel that serves in a pool of available
channels for general phone traffic. Either function requires an entry in the Outgoing
phonebook of the local MultiVOIP and a matched setting in the Inbound Phonebook of
the remote VOIP.
Generate Local Dial
Tone
Y/N
Used for AutoCall only. If selected, dial tone is generated locally while the call is being
established between gateways. The capability to generate dial tone locally would be
particularly useful when there is a lengthy network delay.
Offhook Alert Timer
Phone Number
0 – 3000
seconds
The length of time that must elapse before the off hook alert is triggered and a call is
automatically made to the phone number listed in the Phone Number field.
‐‐
Phone number used for Auto Call function or Offhook Alert Timer function. This phone
number must correspond to an entry in the Outbound Phonebook of the local
MultiVOIP and in the Inbound Phonebook of the remote MultiVOIP (unless a
gatekeeper unit is used in the VOIP system).

Voice/Fax Parameter Definitions (continued)
Field Name
Values
Description
Dynamic Jitter
Dynamic Jitter Buffer
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.
An Optimization Factor adjustment controls how quickly the length of the Jitter
Buffer is increased when jitter increases on the network. The length of the jitter
buffer directly affects the voice delay between MultiVOIP gateways.
Minimum Jitter Value
Maximum Jitter Value
60 to 400
ms
The minimum dynamic jitter buffer of 60 milliseconds is the minimum delay that
would be acceptable over a low jitter network.
Default = 150 ms
60 to 400
ms
The maximum dynamic jitter buffer of 400 milliseconds is the maximum delay
tolerable over a high jitter network.
Default = 300 ms
Optimization Factor
0 to 12
The Optimization Factor determines how quickly the length of the Dynamic Jitter
Buffer is changed based on actual jitter encountered on the network. Selecting the
minimum value of 0 means low voice delay is desired, but increases the possibility of
jitter‐induced voice quality problems. Selecting the maximum value of 12 means
highest voice quality under jitter conditions is desired at the cost of increased voice
delay.
Default = 7.
Auto Disconnect
Automatic
Disconnection
‐‐
The Automatic Disconnection group provides four options which can be used singly
or in any combination.
Jitter Value
1‐65535
The Jitter Value defines the average inter‐arrival packet deviation (in milliseconds)
before the call is automatically disconnected. The default is 300 milliseconds. A
higher value means voice transmission is more accepting of jitter. A lower value is
less tolerant of jitter.
Inactive by default. When active, default = 300 ms. However, value must equal or
exceed Dynamic Minimum Jitter Value.
Call Duration
1‐65535
Call Duration defines the maximum length of time (in seconds) that a call remains
connected before the call is automatically disconnected.
Inactive by default.
When active, default = 180 sec.
This may be too short for some configurations, requiring upward adjustment.
Consecutive Packets
Lost
1‐65535
Consecutive Packets Lost defines the number of consecutive packets that are lost
after which the call is automatically disconnected.
Inactive by default.
When active, default = 30
Network Disconnection 1 to 65535;
Specifies how long to wait before disconnecting the call when IP network connectivity
with the remote site has been lost.
Default =
30 sec.
Configurable Payload Type
The Configurable Payload Type is not available on the –SS series.
The Configurable Payload Type is located on the bottom of the Voice/Fax window. The Configurable Payload
Type is used when the remote side uses a different payload type for the associated features. In previous
firmware versions, MultiVOIP’s used 101 for DTMF RFC2833. If the remote side uses some other dynamic
payload type such as 110, it fails. To avoid these failures, the payload types are configurable.
DTMF RFC2833 Configurable Payload Type is supported only for SIP & SPP and not for H.323.

Chapter 4 – Configuring Your MultiVOIP
When interoperating with older MultiVOIP products (that is, earlier than release x.11), for backward
compatibility, configure the payload type values to default ones, which match the values of older MultiVOIPs.
Configuring Interface Parameters
Set the Telephony Interface parameters individually for each channel and include the line types as well as some
specific situational settings when required. The parameters that you need to choose values for depend on the
type of telephony supervisory signaling or interface used (FXO, E&M, for example.). Here you find the various
parameters grouped and organized by interface type. Note that the SS and FX models only support FXS/FXO. In
each field, enter the values that fit your particular setup. After you establish a set of Interface parameters for a
particular channel, you can apply this entire set of Voice/FAX parameters to another channel by using the Copy
Channel button and its dialog box. To copy a set of Interface parameters to all channels, select Copy to All and
click Copy. The window that follows shows more options available than are actually used. Your settings
determine what fields are available. The –SS series of MultiVOIPs do not support Caller ID Manipulation.

and time setup.
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 windows of the remote (CID generating) VOIP unit. The CID
Name and Number appearing on the phone at the terminating FXS end

Configuring Message Waiting
The Message Waiting Indication feature provides an audible or visible indication that a message is available. A
type of message waiting is sounding a special dial tone (called stutter dial tone), lighting a light, or indicator on
the phone.
When a user enables a subscription for message waiting indication, a subscription is made with the Voice Mail
Server (VMS) for that particular event. When the Voice Mail Server finds a change in the state of a
corresponding mailbox or some event happens (for example, when a new voice message is recorded or a
message is deleted, then the VMS server sends a notification to the gateway. Its indication to the user is a
flashing LED or sounding a stutter dial tone.
The message waiting feature is active when:
●
●
●
●
You enable the Use SIP Proxy option on the Call Signaling SIP window.
You enter a Primary Proxy IP address in the SIP Proxy Parameters Primary Proxy field.
You enter the Voice Mail Server Domain Name or IP Address in the SIP Voice Mail Server Parameters Group.
You set the Interface Type to FXS (Loop start).
Then, the FXS Options Group becomes active. The Message Waiting Indication options are None, Light, or
Stutter Dial Tone.
To receive messages from the VMS (Voice Mail Server/System):
●
●
The subscription is enabled.
You must enter the voice mail server address in the SIP Voice Mail Server Parameters Group.
You configure the Voice Mail server IP Address, Port and Re‐subscription time on the SIP Call Signaling window.
When configured, the “Subscribe with Voice Mail Server” option is activated in the inbound phone book. Only
when this option is enabled, the subscribe message is sent to the VMS.
To enable the Message Waiting features, all of the following must occur:
1. The "Use SIP Proxy" must be enabled, and the SIP Proxy Parameters and Voice Mail Server Parameters in the
SIP Call Signaling Menu must be set, and the Interface Type option must be set to FXS (Loop Start) on the
Interface menu's "Message Waiting Indication" options become active.
2. Then the "Message Waiting Indication" options must be set to light or stutter tone for the "Subscribe to
Voice Mail Server" option to become available in the Inbound phone book entry with that channel selected.
3. To send Subscriptions for Inbound Phone Book entries, all the following four conditions have to be satisfied:
●
●
You enter a valid voice mail server domain name or IP address in the Voice Mail Server Domain Name/IP
Address field on the Call Signaling window.
For an Inbound Phone Book entry, a subscription with Voice Mail Server checkbox is enabled on the Add
or Edit Inbound Phone Book entries window.

E&M Interface Types
There are five different types of the E&M interface and the MVP210/410/810 models support them all; but Type
IV is largely unused and is not described in this section. The figures that follow show the pin assignments for the
MVP RJ48 connector when used in the E&M jacks on the back of the unit as well as how the signals are used for
types one, two, three and five. Common ground between the MultiVOIP and PBX is required for all E&M Types
except Type II. Two and four wire audio is available for all E&M types

DID Parameters
The parameters applicable to the Direct Inward Dial (DID) telephony interface type are shown in the figure that
follows and described in the table that follows. The –SS and –FX models do not support DID.
The DID interface allows one phone line to direct incoming calls to any one of several extensions without a
switchboard operator. Of course, one DID line can handle only one call at a time. The parameters apply to the
customer‐premises side of the DID connection (DID‐DPO, dial‐pulse originating). The network side of the DID
connection (DID‐DPT, dial‐pulse terminating) is not supported.

DID Options
MultiVOIP’s use of DID applies only for incoming DID calls. The Start Mode
used by the MultiVOIP must match that used by the originating telephony
equipment; else DID calls cannot be completed.
Start Modes
Immediate Start,
Wink Start,
Delay Dial
For Immediate Start, the VOIP detects the off‐hook condition initiated by
the telco central‐office call and becomes ready to receive dial digits
immediately.
For Wink Start, the VOIP detects the off‐hook condition. Then the VOIP
reverses battery polarity for a specified time (140‐290 ms; a “wink”) and
then becomes ready to receive dial digits.
For Delay Dial, the VOIP detects the off‐hook condition. Then the VOIP
reverses battery polarity for a specified time (reverse polarity duration has
wider acceptable range than for Wink Start) and then becomes ready to
receive dial digits.

Call Signaling
Three types of Call Signaling are available: H.323, SIP and SPP. Each type has features that may make it more
appealing to use than the others, depending on your needs. The –SS and –FX models do not support H.323
signaling.
H.323
H.323 is an ITU‐T recommended set of standards for audio and video communications. The fields for this
window are defined in the table below.

Optional. The name of the GateKeeper with which this MultiVOIP is trying to register. A
primary gatekeeper and two alternate units are listed.
RAS TTL Value
seconds
The H.323 Gatekeeper “Time to Live” value. As soon as a MultiVOIP gateway registers
with a gatekeeper a countdown timer begins. The RAS TTL Value is the interval of the
countdown timer. Before the TTL countdown expires, the MultiVOIP gateway needs to
register with the gatekeeper in order to maintain the connection. If the MultiVOIP does
not register before the TTL interval expires, the MultiVOIP gateway’s registration with
the gatekeeper expires and the gatekeeper no longer permits call traffic to or from that
gateway. Calls in progress continue to function even if the gateway becomes de‐
registered
Gatekeeper Discovery
Polling Interval
integer
60 ‐ 300
The interval between the VOIP gateway’s successive attempts to connect to and be
governed by a higher level gatekeeper. The Primary GK is the highest level gatekeeper.
Alternate GK1 is second; Alternate GK2 is the lowest.
Use Online Alternate
Gatekeeper List
When selected, VOIP seeks an alternate gatekeeper (when none of the 3 gatekeepers shown on this
window are available) from a list. The list resides on the Primary gatekeeper or one of the Alternate
gatekeepers. The gatekeeper holding the list would download that list onto the VOIP gateways within
the system.
H.323 Version 4 Options
H.323 Multiplexing
Y/N
Y/N
Signaling for multiple phone calls can be carried on a single port rather than opening a
separate signaling port for each. This conserves bandwidth resources.
H.245 Tunneling (Tun)
H.245 messages are encapsulated within the Q.931 call‐signaling channel. Among other
things, the H.245 messages let the two endpoints tell each other what their technical
capabilities are and determine who, during the call, is the client and who is the server.
Tunneling is the process of transmitting these H.245 messages through the Q.931
channel. The same TCP/IP socket (or logical port) already being used for the Call Signaling
Channel is then also used by the H.245 Control Channel. This encapsulation reduces the
number of logical ports (sockets) needed and reduces call setup time.
Parallel H.245
(FS + Tun)
Y/N
Y/N
FS (Fast Start) is a Q.931 feature of H.323v2 to hasten call setup as well as ‘pre‐opening’
the media channel before the CONNECT message is sent. This pre‐opening is a
requirement for certain billing activities. Under Parallel H.245 FS + Tun, this Fast Connect
feature can operate simultaneously with H.245 Tunneling.
Annex –E (AE)
Multiplexed UDP call signaling transport. Annex E is helpful for high‐volume VOIP system
endpoints. Gateways with lesser volume can afford to use TCP to establish calls.
However, for larger volume endpoints, the call setup times and system resource usage
under TCP can become problematic. Annex E allows endpoints to perform call‐signaling
functions under the UDP protocol, which involves substantially streamlined overhead
(this feature should not be used on the public Internet due to potential problems with
security and bandwidth usage).

Configuring SIP Server
The MultiVOIP 210/410/810‐SS models have the additional capability of SIP survivability. This section describes
the settings for SIP server mode.
SIP Server Configuration Parameter Definitions
Field Name
Values
Description
Operating Mode Survivabili In “Survivability” mode, the MVP‐SS unit can function as a SIP server for
ty
other gateways in its network in case that network loses contact with the
network’s main SIP server (typically a PBX). When in “Survivability” mode the
unit is a backup SIP server.
In “Stand‐Alone” mode, the MVP‐SS functions as a primary SIP server for
other gateways. In this mode, the MVP‐SS operate to technical advantage
with ‘smart’ SIP phones. Such smart SIP phones can choose the SIP server
under which they operate and, consequently, can be controlled by either the
SIP‐based PBX or by the MVP‐SS

Options
One of two status‐check packets is sent to the main SIP Proxy servers to
which the MVP‐SS serves as a backup. This packet determines if the MVP‐SS
takes over SIP server functions or stays in normal backup mode. “Options”
and “Register” are two SIP request “methods.” The Options method solicits
information but does not set up a connection. The Register method conveys
information about a user’s location to the SIP server. The “Register” method
may entail more data overhead than the “Options” method. If your SIP
server supports these methods, you can use either one. If only one is
supported, use the supported method.
Registrar Options

MultiVOIP units operating with the X.06 software release (and above) include a
built‐in modem. The administrator can dial into this modem to configure the
MultiVOIP unit remotely. The country name values in this field set telephony
parameters that allow the modem to work in the listed country. This value may
be different than the Country/Region value. For example, a user may need to
choose “Europe” as the Country/Region value but “Denmark” as the Country‐

MultiVOIP as Email Sender. When SMTP is used, the MultiVOIP has an email account (with Login Name and
Password) on a mail server connected to the IP network.
Using this account, the MultiVOIP sends out email messages containing log report information. The “Recipient”
of the log report email is ordinarily the VOIP administrator.
Because the MultiVOIP cannot receive email, you must set up a “Reply‐To” address. The “Reply‐To” address
usually belongs to a technician with access to the mail server or MultiVOIP or both,
You can also set up the VOIP administrator the “Reply‐To” party.
The main function of the Reply‐To address is to receive error or failure messages regarding the emailed reports.

one of three ways:
●
●
●
In the MultiVOIP program (interface)
Through email (SMTP)
At the MultiVoipManager remote VOIP system management program (SNMP).
If you enable console messages, you can customize the messages included in and excluded from log reports. To
do so, click Filters and use the Console Messages Filter Settings window.
If you use the logging function, select the logging option that applies to your VOIP system design.
To use a SysLog Server program for logging, in the SysLog Server group, check the Enable checkbox. The
common SysLog logical port number is 514.
If using the MultiVOIP web browser interface for configuration and control of MultiVOIP units, be aware that the
web browser interface does not support logs directly. However, when the web browser interface is used, log
files can still be e‐mailed to the VOIP administrator. This requires using the SMTP logging option.

Supplementary Services
Supplementary Services features derive from the H.450 standard, which brings to the VOIP telephony functions
once only available with PSTN or PBX telephony. Even though the H.450 standard refers only to H.323,
Supplementary Services are still applicable to the SIP and SPP VOIP protocols.
Three of the features implemented under Supplementary Services are closely related.
●
Call Transfer. Call Transfer allows one party to re‐connect the party with whom they have been speaking to
a third party. The first party is disconnected when the third party becomes connected. A programmable
phone keypad sequence—for example, #7—allows the feature to be used.
●
Call Hold. Call Hold allows one party to maintain an idle (non‐talking) connection with another party while
receiving another call (Call Waiting), while initiating another call (Call Transfer), or while performing some
other call management function. A programmable phone keypad sequence—for example, #7—allows the
feature to be used.
●
Call Waiting. Call Waiting notifies an engaged caller of an incoming call and allows them to receive a call
from a third party while the party with whom they have been speaking is put on hold. Feature is used by a
programmable phone keypad sequence (for example, #7).
Call Name Identification is similar but not identical to the premium PSTN feature commonly known as Caller ID.
Call Name Identification. When enabled for a given VOIP unit (the ‘home’ VOIP), this feature gives notice to
remote VOIPs involved in calls. Notification goes to the remote VOIP administrator, not to individual phone
stations. When the home VOIP is the caller, a plain English descriptor is sent to the remote VOIP identifying the
channel over which the call is being originated (for example, “Calling Party ‐ Omaha Sales Office Line 2”). If that
VOIP channel is dedicated to a certain individual, the descriptor could say that, as well (for example “Calling
Party ‐ Harold Smith in Omaha”). When the home VOIP receives a call from any remote VOIP, the home VOIP
sends a status message back to that caller. This message confirms that the home VOIP’s phone channel is either
busy or ringing or that a connection has been made (for example, “Busy Party ‐ Omaha Sales Office Line 2”).
These messages appear in the Statistics – Call Progress window of the remote VOIP.
Copying Parameters to Other Channels
Supplementary services parameters are applied on a channel‐by‐channel basis. However, after you establish a
set of supplementary parameters for a particular channel, you can apply this entire set of parameters to another
channel. To do so:
1. Click Copy Channel.
2. In the dialog box that opens, to copy a set of parameters to all channels, select Copy to All.
3. Click Copy.

Call Name Identification
Enable
Enables CNI function. Call Name Identification is not the same as Caller ID. When enabled on a given
VOIP unit currently being controlled by the MultiVOIP interface (the ‘home VOIP’), Call Name
Identification sends an identifier and status information to the administrator of the remote VOIP
involved in the call. The feature operates on a channel‐by‐channel basis (each channel can have a
separate identifier).
If the home VOIP is originating the call, only the Calling Party field is applicable. If the home VOIP
is receiving the call, then the Alerting Party, Busy Party, and Connected Party fields are the only
applicable fields (and any or all of these could be enabled for a given VOIP channel). The status
information confirms back to the originator that the home VOIP, is either busy, or ringing, or that the
intended call has been completed and is currently connected.
The identifier and status information are made available to the remote VOIP unit and appear in
the Caller ID field of its Statistics – Call Progress window. (This is how MultiVOIP units handle CNI
messages; in other VOIP brands, H.450 may be implemented differently and then the message
presentation may vary.)

Supplementary Services Definitions (continued)
Field Name
Description
Calling Party,
Allowed Name
Type (CNI)
If the ‘home’ VOIP unit is originating the call and Calling Party is selected, then the identifier (from the
Caller Id field) is sent to the remote VOIP unit being called. The Caller Id field gives the remote VOIP
administrator a plain‐language identifier of the party that is originating the call occurring on a specific
channel.
This field is applicable only when the ‘home’ VOIP unit is originating the call.
Example. Suppose a VOIP system has offices in both Denver and Omaha. In the Omaha VOIP unit (the
‘home’ VOIP in this example), Call Name Identification has been enabled, Calling Party has been enabled as
an Allowed Name Type, and “Omaha Sales Office Voipchannel 2” has been entered in the Caller Id field.
When channel 2 of the Omaha VOIP is used to make a call to any other VOIP phone station (for example,
the Denver office), the message “Calling Party ‐ Omaha Sales Office Voipchannel 2” appears in the “Caller
Id” field of the Statistics ‐ Call Progress window of the Denver VOIP.
Alerting Party,
Allowed Name
Type (CNI)
If the ‘home’ VOIP unit is receiving the call and Alerting Party is selected, then the identifier (from the
Caller Id field) tells the originating remote VOIP unit that the call is ringing.
This field is applicable only when the ‘home’ VOIP unit is receiving the call.
Example. Suppose a VOIP system has offices in both Denver and Omaha. In the Omaha VOIP unit (the
‘home’ VOIP unit in this example), Call Name Identification has been enabled, Alerting Party has been
enabled as an Allowed Name Type, and “Omaha Sales Office Voipchannel 2” has been entered in the Caller
Id field of the Supplementary Services window.
When channel 2 of the Omaha VOIP receives a call from any other VOIP phone station (for example, the
Denver office), the message “Alerting Party ‐ Omaha Sales Office Voipchannel 2” is sent back and appears in
the Caller Id field of the Statistics – Call Progress window of the Denver VOIP. This confirms to the Denver
VOIP that the phone is ringing in Omaha.
Busy Party,
Allowed Name
Type (CNI)
If the ‘home’ VOIP unit is receiving a call directed toward an already engaged channel or phone station and
Busy Party is selected, then the identifier (from the Caller Id field) tells the originating remote VOIP unit
that the channel or called party is busy.
This field is applicable only when the ‘home’ VOIP unit is receiving the call.
Example. Suppose a VOIP system has offices in both Denver and Omaha. In the Omaha VOIP unit (the
‘home’ VOIP unit in this example), Call Name Identification has been enabled, Busy Party has been enabled
as an Allowed Name Type, and “Omaha Sales Office Voipchannel 2” has been entered in the Caller Id field
of the Supplementary Services window.
When channel 2 of the Omaha VOIP is busy but still receives a call attempt from any other VOIP phone
station (for example, the Denver office), the message “Busy Party ‐ Omaha Sales Office Voipchannel 2” is
sent back and appears in the Caller Id field of the Statistics – Call Progress window of the Denver VOIP. This
confirms to the Denver VOIP that the channel or phone station is busy in Omaha.
Connected Party,
Allowed Name
Type (CNI)
If the ‘home’ VOIP unit is receiving a call and Connected Party is selected, then the identifier (from the
Caller Id field) tells the originating remote VOIP unit that the attempted call has been completed and the
connection is made.
This field is applicable only when the ‘home’ VOIP unit is receiving the call.
Example. Suppose a VOIP system has offices in both Denver and Omaha. In the Omaha VOIP unit (the
‘home’ VOIP unit in this example), Call Name Identification has been enabled, Connected Party has been
enabled as an Allowed Name Type, and “Omaha Sales Office Voipchannel 2” has been entered in the Caller
Id field of the Supplementary Services window.
When channel 2 of the Omaha VOIP completes an attempted call from any other VOIP phone station (for
example, the Denver office), the message “Connect Party ‐ Omaha Sales Office Voipchannel 2” is sent back
and appears in the Caller Id field of the Statistics – Call Progress window of the Denver VOIP. This confirms
to the Denver VOIP that the call has been completed to Omaha.
Caller ID
This is the identifier of a specific channel of the ‘home’ VOIP unit. The Caller Id field typically describes a
person, office, or location, for example, “Harry Smith,” or “Bursar’s Office,” or “Barnesville Factory.”
Default
When this button is clicked, all Supplementary Service parameters are set to their default values.
Copy Channel
Copies the Supplementary Service attributes of one channel to another channel. Attributes can be copied to
multiple channels or all channels at once.

In the lower left corner of the window, the connection status of the MultiVOIP appear. The messages in the
lower left corner change as detection occurs. The message “MultiVOIP Found” confirms that the MultiVOIP is in
contact with the MultiVOIP configuration program. If the message displayed is “MultiVOIP Not Found!” please
try the resolutions that follow.
Fixing a COM Port Problem
If the MultiVOIP main window appears but is grayed out and seems inaccessible, the COM port that was
specified for its communication with the PC is unavailable and must be changed. An error message appears.
To change the COM port setting:
1. From the COM Port Setup dialog box, perform one of the following:
●
Go to the Connection pull‐down menu. Select and choosing Settings.
●
Use the left side control panel. In the Select Port field, select a COM port that is available on the PC. If
no COM ports are currently available, re‐allocate COM port resources in the computer’s MS Windows
operating system to make one available.
Fixing Cabling Problems
If the computer cannot locate the MultiVOIP device, three error messages appear.
These messages indicate that MultiVOIP is disconnected from the network. For instructions on MultiVOIP cable
connections, see Chapter 3.

Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone
Book
When a VOIP serves a PBX system, ensure that the VOIP’s operation is transparent to the telephone end user.
Make sure the VOIP does not dial extra digits to reach users elsewhere on the network that the VOIP serves.
VOIP service commonly reduces dialed digits. This allows 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.
Also, ensure the VOIP setup allows 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.
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 are directed. The phone numbers
are not listed individually, but are, instead, described by rule.
Identify Remote VOIP Site to Call
After installing the MultiVOIP, confirm that it is configured and operating properly by checking end‐to‐end
connectivity. To do so, discover another VOIP that you can call for testing. Obtain the remote site’s IP and
telephone information.
If this is the very first VOIP in the system, coordinate the installation of this MultiVOIP with an installation of
another unit at a remote site.
Identify VOIP Protocol to be Used
Determine if you want to use H.323, SIP, or SPP. Although you can mix protocols in a single VOIP system, it is
better to use the same VOIP protocol for all VOIP units in the system.
SPP is a non‐standard protocol developed by Multi‐Tech. SPP is not compatible with the “Proprietary” protocol
used in Multi‐Tech’s earlier generation of VOIP gateways.
The –SS series of MultiVOIPs only support the SIP protocol.
The –FX models do not support H.323.

Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone Book
Initially Configuring the Phonebook
This section describes setting up the phone book. It provides examples that help you enter the correct numbers
for proper MultiVOIP operation.
Initially, you set up two VOIP locations and establish VOIP communication. Once this is accomplished, you can
easily add other VOIP sites to the network.
Before You Begin
Before you configure the phone book:
●
●
●
Obtain access to another VOIP that you can call for testing.
Make sure the VOIP is at a remote location, typically somewhere outside of your building.
Obtain the phone number and IP address for the remote site. It is assumed that the MultiVOIP is operating
with a PBX.
Configuring the Outbound Phonebook
1. Open the MultiVOIP program. (Start | MultiVOIP xxx | Configuration)
2. Go to Phone Book | Outbound Phonebook | Add Entry.
3. Record the calling code of the remote VOIP (area code, country code, city code, and so on) to be called.
Follow the example that best fits your situation:
North America,
Euro, National Call Example
Euro, International Call Example
Long‐Distance Example
Technician in Seattle (area 206)
must set up one VOIP there,
another in Chicago (area 312,
downtown).
Technician in central London (area
0207) to set up VOIP there, another 31; city 010) to set up one VOIP
in Birmingham (area 0121).
Answer: write down 0121.
Technician in Rotterdam (country
there, another in Bordeaux (country
33; area 05).
Answer: Write down 312.
Answer: write down 3305.
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 (that is, 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).
Write down the digits you must dial before you can dial a remote area code.
North America,
Euro, National Call Example

Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone Book
Configuring Alternate Routing
Alternate routing provides an alternate path for calls if the primary IP network cannot carry the traffic.
Sometimes during failure, call traffic is temporarily diverted into the PSTN. However, you also use alternate
routing to divert traffic to a redundant (backup) unit in case one VOIP unit fails.
Alternate routing facilitates PSTN Failover protection. It allows you to re‐route VOIP calls automatically over the
PSTN if the VOIP system fails. You can program the MultiVOIP to respond to excessive delays in the transmission
of voice packets, which the MultiVOIP interprets as a failure of the IP network. Upon detecting an excessive
delay in transmission of voice packets (overly high “latency” in the network) the MultiVOIP diverts the call to
another IP address, which itself is connected to the PSTN (for example, via an FXO port on the self‐same
MultiVOIP is connected to the PSTN).
To set up alternate routing:
1. Click Advanced. The Alternate Routing window opens.
2. Specify the IP address of the alternate route for each destination pattern entry in the Outbound Phonebook.
The following table describes alternate routing fields.

Authorized User Name and Password for SIP
To enable the Registration Options on the Add/Edit Inbound Phone Book, activate Use SIP Proxy Option on the
Call Signaling, SIP Parameters Window. Then add the IP address for the Primary Proxy in the SIP Proxy
Parameters. This allows you to add a Username and Password to the Inbound Phone Book entry. The –SS models
only have a password option available.
This feature is used when the MultiVOIP registers with the proxies that support authorization and need the
username, password and the endpoint name to be unique.
The VOIP sends Register request to Registrar for each entry with its configured Username and Password. When
Authentication is enabled for the endpoint, then the registrar/proxy sends “401 Unauthorized/407 Proxy
Authentication Required” response when it receives a REGISTER/INVITE request. Now, the endpoint has to send
the authentication details in the Authorization header. In this header one of the fields is “username”.
Generally proxies accept requests even if both Endpoint Name and Username are same. But some proxies
expect that the Endpoint Name and Username should be different.
To support these proxies, we have the username and password configuration for every inbound phone book
entry which gets registered with a proxy.
If the username and password are not configured in the inbound phone book, then the registration happens
with the default username and password that are configured in the SIP Call Signaling Page.
Phone Book Save and Reboot
After you complete Outbound and Inbound Phonebook entries, click Save Setup to save your configuration. You
can change the configuration later, if desired.
You must complete the initial MultiVOIP setup locally or by using the built‐in Remote Configuration/Command
Modem using the MultiVOIP program. After initial configuration, you can configure, re‐configure and update all
the MultiVOIP units in the VOIP system from one location. To do so, use the MultiVOIP web interface software

The figure that follows shows Outbound Phonebook entries for the VOIP located in the company’s Baltimore
facility.
The entries in the Minneapolis VOIP’s Inbound Phonebook match the Outbound Phonebook entries of the
Baltimore VOIP, as shown below.
To call the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, a Baltimore employee must dial eleven digits. This assumes that the
Baltimore PBX does not require an 8 or 9 to seize an outside phone line.
If a Baltimore employee dials any phone number in the 612 area code, the company’s VOIP system automatically
handles the call. When receiving the call, the Minneapolis VOIP removes 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).
Similar events occur when the Baltimore employee calls numbers in the 651 and 952 area codes because
numbers in these area codes are local calls in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.

phone number of the Minneapolis PBX is 763‐717‐5170. The destination pattern 17637175 means that all calls
to Minneapolis employees stay within the suburban Minneapolis PBX and do not reach or are not carried on the
local PSTN. Similarly, the Inbound Phone Book for the Baltimore VOIP (shown first below) generally matches the
Outbound Phone Book of the Minneapolis VOIP (shown second below).
Notice the extended prefix to be removed: 14103257. This entry allows Minneapolis users to contact Baltimore
co‐workers as though they were in the Minneapolis facility, using numbers in the range 7000 to 7999.
Note also that a comma (as in the entry 9,443) denotes a delay in dialing. A one‐second delay is commonly used
to allow a second dial tone to be generated for calls going outside of the facility’s PBX system.
The Outbound Phone Book for the Minneapolis VOIP is shown below. The third destination pattern, “7”
facilitates reception of co‐worker calls using local‐appearing‐extensions only. In this case, the “Add Prefix” field
value for this phonebook entry would be “1410325”.

Europe
The most direct use of the VOIP system is making calls between the offices where the VOIPs are located.
Consider, for example, the Wren Clothing Company. This company has VOIP‐equipped offices in London, Paris,
and Amsterdam, each served by its own PBX. VOIP calls between the three offices completely avoid
international long‐distance charges. These calls are free. The phonebooks can be set up to allow all Wren
Clothing employees to contact each other using 3‐, 4‐, or 5‐digit numbers, as though they were all in the same
building.

In another use of the VOIP system, the local calling area of each VOIP location becomes accessible to all of the
VOIP system’s users. As a result, international calls can be made at local calling rates.
For example, suppose that Wren Clothing buys its zippers from The Bluebird Zipper Company in the western part
of metropolitan London. In that case, Wren Clothing personnel in both Paris and Amsterdam could call the
Bluebird Zipper Company without paying international long‐distance rates. Only London local phone rates would
be charged. This applies to calls completed anywhere in London’s local calling area.
Generally, local calling rates apply only within a single area code, and, for all calls outside that area code,
national rates apply. There are, however, some European cases where local calling rates extend beyond a single
area code. Local rates between Inner and Outer London are one example of this. It is also possible, in some
locations, that calls within an area code may be national calls ‐ but this is rare.

Chapter 6—Using the Software
IP Statistics
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 irretrievable; that is, out‐of‐order UDP
packets cannot be reconstituted in their proper order.
Despite these disadvantages, UDP packets can be transmitted 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 comes through as static).

Chapter 6—Using the Software
“Downloading” here refers to transferring program files from the PC to the nonvolatile “flash” memory of the
MultiVOIP. Such transfers are made via the PC’s serial port. This can be understood as a “download” from the
perspective of the MultiVOIP unit.
When new versions of the MultiVOIP software become available, they are posted on Multi‐Tech’s website.
Although transferring updated program files from the Multi‐Tech website to the user’s PC can generally be
considered a download (from the perspective of the PC), this type of download cannot be initiated from the
MultiVOIP software’s Program menu command set.
Generally, updated firmware must be downloaded from the Multi‐Tech website to the PC before it can be
loaded from the PC to the MultiVOIP.
Updating Firmware
Generally, updated firmware must be downloaded from the Multi‐Tech website to the user’s PC before it can be
downloaded from that PC to the MultiVOIP.
Note that the structure of the Multi‐Tech website 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 choose Support, you can select “MultiVOIP” in the Product Support menu and then click on Firmware to
find MultiVOIP resources.
Once the updated firmware has been located, it can be downloaded from the website using normal
PC/Windows procedures.
Generally, the firmware file is a self‐extracting compressed file (with .zip extension), which must be expanded
(decompressed, or “unzipped”) on the user’s PC in a user‐specified directory. It is usually best to click the
Browse button and select a folder that is easy to get to and remember.

Chapter 6—Using the Software
Implementing a Software Upgrade
You can use a single command at the MultiVOIP Windows interface— namely Upgrade Software—to upgrade
MultiVOIP software locally. This command downloads firmware, including the H.323 stack, and factory default
settings from the controller PC to the MultiVOIP unit.
When using the MultiVOIP Windows interface, you can also transfer firmware and factory default settings from
controller PC to MultiVOIP in stages by using separate commands.
When using the MultiVOIP web browser interface to control and configure the VOIP remotely, you must
upgrade the software piece by piece, using the FTP Server function of the MultiVOIP unit.
To upgrade software using the Windows interface or web browser interface:
1. Identify current firmware version.
2. Download firmware.
3. Download factory defaults.
To upgrade firmware, you must use the software commands Download Firmware and Download Factory
Defaults in order. Otherwise, the firmware upgrade is incomplete.
Identifying Current Firmware Version
Before implementing a MultiVOIP firmware upgrade, verify the version of the currently loaded firmware version.
The firmware version appears in the MultiVOIP Program menu. Go to Start | Programs | MultiVOIP x.xx. The
final expression, x.xx, is the firmware version number.
When a new firmware version is installed, the MultiVOIP software can be upgraded in one step using the
Upgrade Software command, or piecemeal using the Download Firmware command and the Download Factory
Defaults command.
Download Firmware transfers the firmware (including the H.323 protocol stack) in the PC’s MultiVOIP directory
into the nonvolatile flash memory of the MultiVOIP.
Download Factory Defaults sets all configuration parameters to the standard default values that are loaded at
the Multi‐Tech factory.
Upgrade Software implements both the Download Firmware command and the Download Factory Defaults
command.

Chapter 6—Using the Software
Downloading IFM Firmware
The Interface Module (IFM) is the telephony interface for analog MultiVOIP units. There is one IFM for each
channel of the MultiVOIP unit. For each channel, the IFM handles the analog signals to and from the attached
telephone, PBX or CO line.
The IFM communicates with the main processor to indicate the status of the telephone line. For example, it
might indicate that a phone is off hook (FXS) or that an incoming ring is present (FXO).
The IFM receives operating instructions from the VOIP’s main processor. For example, the IFM might be
instructed to ring the phone (FXS) or seize the line (FXO). The IFM contains a codec (coder/decoder) to convert
the incoming audio to a PCM stream (pulse code modulation) which it sends to the DSP (digital signal processor).
The IFM’s codec also converts outgoing PCM to audio.
The firmware of the IFMs can change over time. As such, you may need to upgrade the firmware. To upgrade
firmware:
1. In the System Information window of the MultiVOIP Configuration software, check the version number of
the IFM firmware already installed on the MultiVOIP unit. Write down the version number.
2. Exit the Configuration software program. The MultiVOIP Configuration program must be off when invoking
the Download IFM Firmware command. If it is on, the command does not work.
3. To use the Download IFM Firmware command, go to Start | Programs | MultiVOIP x.xx | Download IFM
Firmware.
4. A dialog box opens. Click OK.
5. The “Boot” LED on the front panel of the MultiVOIP comes on.
6. The software searches for an IFM firmware file to use to upgrade the system. If the file found represents
firmware newer than that already installed on the MultiVOIP (or if you want to overwrite the same version
of firmware) click Open.

Upgrading Software
As noted earlier the Upgrade Software command transfers, from the controller PC to the MultiVOIP unit,
firmware (including the H.323 stack) and settings. The settings can be either Factory Default Settings or Current
Configuration Settings.
Note: To upgrade a MultiVOIP from software version 6.04 or earlier, an ftp primer file must first be sent to the
VOIP. This file is located in the Software/ftp_Primer folder on the CD and the file name is "FTP_Primer.bin".
Before uploading this file, it must be renamed "mvpt1ftp.bin". The VOIP only accepts files of this name. This is a
safety precaution to prevent the wrong files from being uploaded to the VOIP. Once the primer file has been
uploaded, upload the FTP firmware file. If you accepted the defaults during the software loading process, this
file is located on your local drive at C:\Program Files\Multi‐Tech Systems\MultiVOIP X.NN where the X is the
software number and the .NN is the version number of the MultiVOIP software on your local drive. Of course the
firmware file is named ‘mvpt1ftp.bin’.
Important: You cannot go back to 6.04 or earlier versions using FTP. You must use ‘upgrade software’ via the
serial port.
Important: These ftp upgrade instructions do not apply to software release 6.05 and above.

Chapter 6—Using the Software
FTP Server File Transfers (“Downloads”)
Multi‐Tech built an FTP server into the MultiVOIP unit. Therefore, you can transfer files from the controller PC to
the VOIP unit by using an FTP client program or even using a browser and 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 transferred
information, uses an FTP client program. Here, the transfer of files from the PC to the VOIP is called
“downloads.” Note that some FTP client programs may use the opposite terminology; they can refer to the file
transfer as an “upload “)
You can use FTP to download firmware, CAS telephony protocols, default configuration parameters, and
phonebook data for the MultiVOIP unit. You can perform these downloads over a network, not by a local serial
port connection. As such, you can update VOIPs at distant locations from a central control point.
The phonebook downloading feature reduces the data‐entry required to establish inbound and outbound
phonebooks for the VOIP units within a system. Although each MultiVOIP unit requires some unique phonebook
entries, most are common to the entire VOIP system. After you have compiled the phonebooks for the first few
VOIP units, phonebooks for additional VOIPs become much simpler: you copy the common material by
downloading and then enter data for the few phonebook items that are unique to that particular VOIP unit or
VOIP site.
To transfer files using the FTP server in the MultiVOIP:
1. Establish Network Connection and IP Addresses. Both the controller PC and the MultiVOIP units must be
connected to the same IP network. An IP address must be assigned to each.
2. Establish User Name and Password. To contact the VOIP over the IP network, establish a user name and
(optionally) a password. When a local serial connection between the PC and the VOIP unit is made, no user
name is needed.
As shown, you can set the user name and password in the web interface and in the Windows interface.

3. Install FTP Client Program or Use Substitute. Install an FTP client program on the controller PC. You can use
FTP to transfer files by using a web browser with a local Windows browser. This approach is somewhat
clumsy because it requires use of two application programs rather than one. It also 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 Multi‐Tech does not provide an FTP client program with the MultiVOIP software or endorse any
particular FTP client program, 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 vary.
4. Enable FTP Functions. Go to the IP Parameters window and click FTP Server: Enable.

5. Identify Files to be Updated. Determine which files to update. Six types of files can be updated using the
FTP feature. In some cases, the file to be transferred has “Ftp” as the part of its filename just before the
suffix (or extension). So, for example, the file “mvpt1Ftp.bin” can be transferred to update the bin file
(firmware) residing in the MultiVOIP. Similarly, the file “fxo_loopFtp.cas” could be transferred to enable use
of the FXO Loop Start telephony interface in one of the analog VOIP units and the file “r2_brazilFtp.cas”
could be transferred to enable a particular telephony protocol used in Brazil. Note, however, that before any
CAS file can be used as an update, it must be renamed to CASFILE.CAS so that it overwrites and replaces the
default CAS file.

immediate and queued transfer. In some cases, there may be automated capabilities to transfer to
multiple destinations with a single command.
9. Verify Transfer. The files transferred appear in the directory of the MultiVOIP.
10. Log Out of FTP Session. You must log out of the FTP session before opening the MultiVOIP Windows
interface. Log out regardless of whether you transferred files using a web browser or using an FTP client
program.

Chapter 6—Using the Software
Web Browser Interface
You can control the MultiVOIP unit with a graphical user interface (interface) based on the common web
browser platform. Qualifying browsers are Internet Explorer 6+, Netscape 6+, and Mozilla Firefox 1.0+.
MultiVOIP Web Browser interface Overview
Function
Remote configuration and control of MultiVOIP units.
Configuration Prerequisite
Browser Version Requirement
Local Windows interface must be used to assign IP address to MultiVOIP.
Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher; or
Netscape 6.0 or higher; or
Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or higher.
Java Requirement
Java Runtime Environment
Use the Multi‐Tech FTP site to download the Java Runtime Environment installation files
These versions of JRE work with the current release of the MultiVOIP units.
Java 6 update 11 Windows 32bit:
ftp://ftp.multitech.com/multivoip/java/jre‐6u11‐windows‐i586‐p.exe
Java 6 update 11 Windows 64bit:
ftp://ftp.multitech.com/multivoip/java/jre‐6u11‐windows‐x64.exe
Initially, you must use the local Windows interface to assign the VOIP unit an IP address. Later, you can use the
web interface to configure anything else.
The content and organization of the web interface is similar to the Windows interface. For each window in the
Windows interface, there is a corresponding page in the web interface. The fields on each window are the same,
as well.
The Windows interface gives access to commands using icons and pull‐down menus. The web interface does
not.
The web interface, however, cannot perform logging in the same direct mode done in the Windows interface.
However, when the web interface is used, logging can be done by email (SMTP).
The graphic layout of the web interface is also somewhat larger‐scale than that of the Windows interface. For
that reason, it’s helpful to use a video monitor.

Chapter 6—Using the Software
The primary advantage of the web interface 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.
To use the web interface, go to the Multi‐Tech ftp site and download the version of the Java Runtime
Environment that works with the current release of the MultiVOIP units. Links to the JRE follow:
Java 6 update 11 Windows 32bit
Java 6 update 11 Windows 64bit
ftp://ftp.multitech.com/multivoip/java/jre‐6u11‐windows‐i586‐p.exe
ftp://ftp.multitech.com/multivoip/java/jre‐6u11‐windows‐x64.exe
After the Java program is installed, you can access the MultiVOIP using the web browser interface.
1. Start the web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the MultiVOIP unit.
3. Enter a password when prompted. A password is needed only if a password is set for the local Windows
interface or for the MultiVOIP’s FTP Server function. See “Setting a Password ‐‐ Web Browser interface”
earlier in this chapter.
The web browser interface offers essentially the same control over the VOIP as the Windows interface. Note the
following:
●
●
Logging functions cannot be handled through the web interface.
Network communication is slower than direct communications over a serial PC cable. As such, command
execution is slower over the web browser interface than over the Windows interface.

Chapter 6—Using the Software
Setting Up SysLog Server Functions
Multi‐Tech included SysLog server functions into the software of the MultiVOIP units. SysLog is a standard for
logging events in network communication systems.
The SysLog Server resides in the MultiVOIP unit itself. To implement SysLog features, use a SysLog client
program, sometimes referred to as a “daemon”. SysLog client programs can help you structure console
messages for convenience and ease of use.
You can get SysLog client programs, both paid and freeware. Read the End‐User License Agreement carefully and
observe license requirements.
Multi‐Tech Systems does not endorse any particular SysLog client program. SysLog client programs by qualified
providers are likely adequate for use with MultiVOIP units.
Before using a SysLog client program, enable the SysLog functions within the MultiVOIP in the Logs menu under
Configuration.
1. Set the IP Address to the address of the MultiVOIP.
2. In the Port field, the default 514 appears. 514 is the standard (‘well‐known’) logical port.
3. Configuring the SysLog Client Program, as desired. In SysLog client programs, you can usually:
●
●
●
●
●
Define where log messages are saved and archived.
Opt for interaction with an SNMP system (like MultiVoipManager).
Set the content and format of log messages.
Determine disk space allocation limits for log messages.
Establish a hierarchy for the seriousness of messages (normal, alert, critical, emergency, and so on).

Appendix B – 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.”
