Chapter 7 - Using the MultiVOIP Software
Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. MultiVOIP User Guide
The status bar at the bottom of the Setup menu displays the current status of the unit and
shows, for example, if it is Running, the most recent date the unit was configured, the type of
connection you have to the unit, and your rights. It shows if your PC is connected directly to
the command port of the MultiVOIP or is communicating with the Ethernet port.
The Rights box displays whether the user has Read/Write or Read-Only rights. The first user
to use the MultiVOIP has Read/Write rights and can view and change the configuration of the
MultiVOIP. Subsequent users have only Read-Only rights and can view the configuration of
the MultiVOIP but cannot change it.
Changing Channel Parameters
The channel parameters include the interface type and its options, voice and fax settings, and
voice communications for the country and region in which the MultiVOIP is operating. The
Channel Setup dialog box is accessed by clicking Voice Channel on the Setup menu.
InterfaceTab
The Interface tab defines the parameters related to the physical interface of the voice/fax
channel.
The Max Dial Digits indicates the maximum number of digits the MultiVOIP will allow you to
enter when dialing one of the numbers in the Phone Directory Database. As soon as you
have entered this number of digits, the MultiVOIP will immediately attempt to match the digits
you have dialed with an entry in the database. The range for the Max Dial Digits is from zero
to 16 digits with a default of five.
The Inter Digit Time (in milliseconds) option in the Dialing Options group defines the
amount of time the MultiVOIP waits between digits as they are entered by the user. If this
timer expires, the MultiVOIP will immediately attempt to match the digits entered to an entry in
the Phone Directory Database. The range for this option is 200 to 10,000 with a default of
2,000.
In the Flash Hook Time box, enter the time, in milliseconds, for the duration of flash hook
signals output on the FXO interface.
