Cabling Procedure

1. Using the supplied cable, connect the power supply to a live AC outlet, then plug the power

supply into the MultiVOIP as shown in Figure 7.

2. Connect the MultiVOIP to a PC using the RJ-45 to DB9 (female) cable provided with your unit.

Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the Command port of the MultiVOIP and connect the

other end to the PC serial port you are using. See Figure 7.

3. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet connector on the back of the MultiVOIP. Connect the

other end of the cable to your network.

4. If you are connecting a station device such as an analog telephone, a fax machine, or a Key

Telephone System (KTS) to your MultiVOIP, connect one end of an RJ-11 cable to the Phone

connector on the back of the MultiVOIP and the other end to the station device.

5. Turn on power to the MultiVOIP by moving the power switch on the right side panel to the ON

position. Wait for the Boot LED on the MultiVOIP to go off before proceeding. This may take a

few minutes.

Note: If the Ethernet connection is not active, none of the LEDs will be on after booting. This

unit does not have a Power LED.

Proceed to the Chapter 3, Software Loading and Configuration, to load the MultiVOIP software.
