MultiVOIP 400/800 User Guide

Introduction

Welcome to Multi-Tech's new voice/fax gateway, the MultiVOIP, models MVP400 and MVP800

(Hereafter referred together as MultiVOIP 400/800). The MultiVOIP 400/800 allows analog voice and

fax communication over a traditional data communications/data networking digital Internet. Multi-

Tech’s new voice/fax gateway technology allows voice and fax communication to be transmitted, with

no additional expense, over your existing communications Internet, which has traditionally been data-

only. To access this free voice and fax communication, all you have to do is connect the MultiVOIP

400/800 to a phone or to your existing in-house phone switch and then to your existing Internet

connection. Once configured, the MultiVOIP 400/800 allows voice and fax to travel down the same

path as your traditional data communications.

The MultiVOIP 400/800 supports the H.323 standards-based protocol enabling your MultiVOIP 400/

800 to participate in real-time conferencing with other third-party VOIP Gateways or endpoints that

support the H.323 protocol (e.g., Microsoft Netmeeting

). The H.323 standard defines how endpoints

make and receive calls, how endpoints negotiate a common set of audio and data capabilities, how

information is formatted and sent over the network, and how endpoints communicate with their

respective Gatekeepers. Gatekeeper software is optional and if present in a network, it typically

resides on a designated PC or gateway. It acts as the central point for all calls within its zone and

provides call control services to all registered endpoints. In addition, Gatekeepers can perform

bandwidth management through support for Bandwidth Request, Confirm, and Reject messages.

The MVP400 is designed with four voice/fax channels (which offer three voice/fax interfaces per

channel), a 10 Mbps Ethernet LAN interface, and a command port for configuration. The MVP800 is

designed with eight voice/fax channels, 10 Mbps Ethernet LAN interface, and command port.

System management is provided through the command port using bundled Windows® software

which provides easy-to-use configuration menus and a comprehensive on-line help system.
