Introduction
The MultiVOIP gateway provides toll-free voice and fax communications over the Internet or Intranet. The
MVP130 and MVP130FXS models are a single-channel units. The MVP130FXS supports the FXS telephony
interface only. Both units have a 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface and a command port for configuration.
These MultiVOIPs inter-operate with a telephone switch or PBX, acting as a switching device that directs voice
and fax calls over an IP network. The MultiVOIPs have “phonebooks,” directories that determine to who calls
may be made and the sequences that must be used to complete calls through the MultiVOIP. The phonebooks
allow the phone user to interact with the VOIP system just as they would with an ordinary PBX or telephone
company (telco) switch. When the phonebooks are set, special dialing sequences are minimized or eliminated
altogether. Once the call destination is determined, the phonebook settings determine whether the destination
VOIP unit must strip off or add dialing digits to make the call appear at its destination to be a local call.
Interface
There are two options for accessing your MultiVOIP, one is the Windows software that is included and is
necessary for the initial setup, and the other is a web-based interface that uses your web browser to access the
unit. While the web interface appears differs slightly, its content and organization are essentially the same as
that of the Windows interface (except for logging). These will be addressed in the following chapters.
