Typical Application
Before VOIP (Voice Over IP) technology existed, a sales office used a data connection to the
Internet and a voice connection to the public telephone network. Now, with VOIP, the two
networks can be tied together. To accomplish this a Sales Office MultiVOIP is connected
between the public telephone network and the data network as shown in the typical
application below. The Sales Office MultiVOIP is set up as the master MultiVOIP and the
MultiVOIP at the Remote Sales Office is set up as the client MultiVOIP. With this approach,
the person at the Remote Sales Office can pick up the telephone and dial the Sales Office
MultiVOIP and, after a second dial tone, can call anyone in the Sales Office or dial 9 for an
outside line and then call anyone in the calling area as if they were in the Sales Office.

Typical VOIP Application
To set up the VOIP network, the MultiVOIP at the Sales Office is a MVP120 which has an
FXO interface that allows it to be connected to an extension on the sales office telephone
switch (PBX). The Ethernet port on the back of the MVP 120 provides the data connection to
the data network.
The MultiVOIP at the remote sales office is a MVP110 which has an FXS interface that
allows a telephone to be connected. The Ethernet port on the back of the MVP110 provides
the data connection to its data network.
To configure the Sales Office MultiVOIP, a PC is connected to the Command port on the back
of the unit and configuration software is loaded onto the PC. 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 in a single dialog box. You can configure the IP address and mask
for the MultiVOIP and the gateway address for the sales office router in the same dialog box.
The Sales office MultiVOIP is then added to the data network.
After your network configuration is complete, then you can develop your VOIP phone
directory database. This database will be developed on the Sales Office MultiVOIP and sent
out to the Remote Sales Office.
Phone Directory Database
The Database Type in the Phone Directory Database dialog box defines the Host to Client
relationship. The Sales Office MultiVOIP in our typical application is set up as the Host, and
the Remote Sales Office is set up as the Client. For the Remote Sales Office, you would
need to know the IP address and the node ID or MAC address of the Sales Office MultiVOIP.
