Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description
Typical Application
Before Voice Over IP (VOIP), a corporate office had a data connection to the Internet and a voice
connection to the public telephone network. With VOIP, the two networks can be tied together. To
accomplish this, a MultiVOIP is connected between the public telephone network and the data
network. A typical application for a MultiVOIP is shown below.

Typical VOIP Application
To set up the VOIP network, a MultiVOIP at the corporate office is connected between the data
network and the corporate telephone switch (PBX). To connect the MultiVOIP to the data network, an
Ethernet cable is connected to the Ethernet port on the MultiVOIP and the other end of the cable is
plugged into a hub on the data network.
To set up an MVP110 at the remote branch office, connect the Ethernet port on the MultiVOIP to the
hub, then connect and a phone, fax, or KTS to the Phone port.
To configure the MVP110, the COM port of a PC is connected to the Command port on the MultiVOIP.
Configuration software is loaded on to your PC and your unique LAN parameters are entered. The
configuration software is based on a standard Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) which simplifies
your selection process to a single parameter group within a dialog box. For example, your LAN IP
parameters are contained on a single dialog box. You can configure the IP address and mask for the
MultiVOIP, and the gateway address for the corporate router, on the same dialog box. Once the LAN
parameters are entered, you can set up the voice channel parameters.
