MultiVOIP Quick Start Guide

Overview
Install Your MultiVOIP
The basic steps of installing your MultiVOIP network involve
unpacking the units, connecting the cables, and configuring
the units using the included management software (MultiVOIP
Configuration). The recommended installation process
includes three phases that, when completed, result in a fully
functional Voice Over IP network. A general description of
each phase is provided below, and detailed instructions follow
throughout the rest of this section.
Configure and Install Your Host MultiVOIP
First, the VOIP administrator configures the MultiVOIP
designated as the “Host” unit. This includes the assignment of
a unique LAN IP address, subnet mask, and Gateway IP
address. Once the VOIP is configured, the administrator
builds the Phone Directory Database that will reside with the
Host unit.
Configure Your Client MultiVOIPs
Once installation has been completed, the administrator
moves on to configure the MultiVOIPs designated as “Client”
units. Again, this includes the assignment of unique LAN IP
addresses, subnet masks, and a Gateway IP address. When
this is done, the Phone Directory Database option is set to
Client, and the IP address of the Host MultiVOIP is entered.
Once all Client units are configured, the VOIP network can be
deployed.
