Chapter 4 - MultiVOIP Software
Client Status to display the status of all the client units in your VOIP network. The Phone Number of
each client displays with its IP Address, current line status, and the description of the phone number.
The phone number does not have to be a conventional phone number such as 555-1234. It can be a
single digit or several digits, except it cannot be longer than the entry in the Max Dial Digits box in
the Channel Setup dialog box. For example, you could enter a phone number of 101 with a
description of New York Office. If you want the call to be rolled over to a second channel, select the
Permit Hunting check box. If the assigned channel is busy, then the call is rolled over to the next
channel.
The MultiVOIP Identification group defines the type of addressing (Dynamic or Static) for the host
and client units for their respective Phone Numbers. The Phone Numbers assigned to the host
MultiVOIP have to be Static addressing and the Phone Numbers assigned to the client MultiVOIP can
be either dynamic or static depending on whether a Proxy Server is providing the connection to the
Internet. If a Proxy Server is in front of the MultiVOIP providing the Internet connection and the Proxy
Server is using dynamic addressing (the ISP is assigning the Proxy Server IP address), then this client
MultiVOIP will be defined as using Dynamic addressing and the IP Address box in the Identified By
group will be unavailable.
If a Proxy Server with a static IP address is in front of the client MultiVOIP, then the Identified By IP
Address box must contain the public or WAN IP address of the Proxy Server.
If the client MultiVOIP is connected directly to the Internet, then its addressing mode must be Static.
If the client unit is using Static addressing, then the IP Address box in the Identified By group has to
contain the Static IP address of the client MultiVOIP.
The Ethernet Node ID is a 12-digit Identification Number assigned to each unit. This Ethernet Node
ID number is a hardware identification number that is affixed to each unit during the manufacturing
process and cannot be changed. This ID number (for example, 0008005xxxxx) is located on an ID
label attached to every unit. This ID number has to be entered in the Ethernet Node ID box for the
telephone number entered in the Phone Number box. If you are assigning a Phone Number for a
client unit, the Ethernet Node ID has to be for that client unit.
If this label is damaged or missing, you can also obtain the ID number by Telneting to the unit. From
the MultiVOIP Telnet Server menu, choose the Voice over IP Configuration option which takes you to
the Main Menu. In the Main Menu, choose System Information and the ID number is presented in the
Ethernet Port Address of the System Information menu.
