Installing Your MultiVOIP

The basic steps of installing your MultiVOIP 400/800 network involve unpacking the units, connecting

the cables, and configuring the units using management software (MultiVOIP Configuration). This

process results in a fully functional Voice Over IP network. A general description is provided below

and detailed instructions are provided in Chapter 3, Software Loading and Configuration.

Installing and Configuring Your MultiVOIP

The VOIP administrator must first install the MultiVOIP 400/800 software and then configure each

MultiVOIP 400/800 for its specific function. During the configuration process, it’s important to note

that the Phone Directory Database is configured differently depending on whether or not you have

Gatekeeper support on your VOIP network.

If your VOIP network supports Gatekeeper software, you must pre-register or remotely register all

H.323 endpoints with the Gatekeeper. The procedure for doing this is explained in the section

“Registering with a Gatekeeper Phone Directory.”

If your VOIP network does not have Gatekeeper software or the Gatekeeper software is not enabled,

then you must build a proprietary phonebook with a “Master” MultiVOIP and “Slave” MultiVOIPs. The

“Master” unit includes the assignment of a unique LAN IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway IP

address; as well as the selection of appropriate channel interface type for each of the Voice/Fax

channels. Once all connections have been made, the VOIP administrator configures the unit and

builds the Phone Directory Database that will reside with the Master unit.

Once configuration of the “Master” MultiVOIP has been completed, the administrator moves on to

configure the MultiVOIP(s) designated as “Slave” units. Again, unique LAN IP addresses, subnet

masks, and Gateway IP addresses are assigned, and each Voice/Fax channel is configured for the

appropriate channel interface type. When this is done, the Phone Directory Database option is set to

Slave, and the IP address of the Master MultiVOIP is entered. Once all Slave units are configured,

the process moves on to the “Deploying the VOIP Network” section.

Deploying the VOIP Network

The final phase of the installation is deployment of the network. When the remote MultiVOIPs are

sent to their remote sites, the remote site administrators need only to connect the units to their LAN

and telephone equipment. A full Phone Directory Database (supplied by the Master MultiVOIP

Proprietary Phonebook will be loaded into their units within minutes of being connected and powered

up. For remote VOIPs that were configured with the Gatekeeper option enabled, each MultiVOIP will

be remotely or pre-registered with the Gatekeeper (i.e., the Gatekeeper phonebook directory is NOT

downloaded to the remote units). The final task of the VOIP administrator or the Gatekeeper

administrator is to develop the VOIP Dialing Directory based on the appropriate phone directory

database (i.e., the Proprietary phonebook database or the Gatekeeper phonebook database).

Safety Warning Telecom

1. Never install telephone wiring during a lighting storm.

2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet

locations.

3. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.

4. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

5. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

6. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a

remote rist of electrical shock from lighting.

7. Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

8. To reduct the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunications line cord.
