Transport Protocol TCP or VOIP administrator must choose between UDP and TCP transmission protocols. UDP is a high‐speed, low‐overhead connectionless protocol where data is transmitted without acknowledgment, guaranteed delivery, or guaranteed packet sequence integrity.
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.
Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone Book PSTN Failover Feature. You can program the MultiVOIP to divert calls to the PSTN temporarily if the IP network fails. The following figure provides an example. 3. Call diverts to Alt IP address in voip accessing PSTN line. 4. Call completed via PSTN. PSTN Line FXO VOIP FXS IP NETWORK VOIP 2. IP network fails. PBX 1.

Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone Book Phonebook Examples North America This section describes how Outbound and Inbound Phonebook entries work with multiple area codes. This example uses a company with offices in Minneapolis and Baltimore. The local calling area of Minneapolis consists of multiple adjacent area codes. Baltimore’s local calling area consists of a base area code plus an overlay area code. Company VOIP/PBX SIte NW Suburbs 763 5 Mpls 612 SW Suburbs 952 St. Paul & Suburbs 651 ...
Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone Book 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.
Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone Book 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. Here, the 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.
Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone Book 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.
Chapter 5 – Configuring the Phone Book The next example has the following features: ● Employees in all cities can call each other over the VOIP system using 4‐digit extensions. ● Calls to Outer London and Inner London, greater Amsterdam, and greater Paris are accessible to all company offices as local calls. ● Vendors in Guildford, Lyon, and Rotterdam can be contacted as national calls by all company offices.

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).
Chapter 6—Using the Software 7. The IFM Firmware Download dialog box appears. Check Copy to All IFMs and click OK.s Different IFMs in the same VOIP are only rarely loaded with different IFM firmware. 8. The main MultiVOIP Configuration window appears. Progress bars appear at the bottom of the window while files are being copied. 9. The IFM Test dialog box appears. Click OK. 10. The MultiVOIP reboots itself. When the reboot is complete, the MultiVOIP Configuration window closes.
Chapter 6—Using the Software Setting and Downloading User Defaults The Download User Defaults command allows you to maintain a known working configuration that is specific to your VOIP system. You can then experiment with alterations or improvements to the configurations, and restore a working configuration if necessary. 1. Before using the Download User Defaults command, save a set of configuration parameters. To do so, use the Save Setup command in the sidebar menu of the MultiVOIP software. 2.
Chapter 6—Using the Software Setting a Password Windows Interface After designating a user name and setting a password, that password is required to gain access to the MultiVOIP software. You can assign only one user name and password to a VOIP unit. The user name is required when communicating with the MultiVOIP through the web browser interface. Note: Record your user name and password in a safe place.
Chapter 6—Using the Software When MultiVOIP program asks for password at launch of program, the program simply shuts down if CANCEL is selected. The MultiVOIP program produces an error message if an invalid password is entered. Web Browser Interface Setting a password is optional when using the MultiVOIP web browser interface.
Chapter 6—Using the Software 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.
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.
Chapter 6—Using the Software 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.
Chapter 6—Using the Software 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.
Chapter 6—Using the Software To download with a web browser: ● In the local Windows browser, locate the directory holding the MultiVOIP program files. The default location is C:\Program Files \Multi‐Tech Systems \MultiVOIP xxxx yyyy (where x and y represent MultiVOIP model numbers and software version numbers). ● Drag‐and‐drop files from the local Windows browser to the web browser. ● You may be asked to confirm the overwriting of files on the MultiVOIP. Do so.
Chapter 6—Using the Software To download with FTP client program: ● In the local directory browser of the FTP client program, locate the directory holding the MultiVOIP program files. The default location is C:\Program Files \Multi‐Tech Systems \MultiVOIP xxxx yyyy (where x and y represent MultiVOIP model numbers and software version numbers). ● In the FTP client program window, drag‐and‐drop files from the local browser pane to the pane for the MultiVOIP FTP server.
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 Local Windows interface must be used to assign IP address to MultiVOIP.
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 ftp://ftp.multitech.
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.
