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 above.
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.
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 PSTN or PBX/FXO port 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 PSTN or PBX/FXO port.
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.
