Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. 10
Cabling Procedure for MVP2410/3010
Cabling your MultiVOIP entails making the proper connections for power, command port, phone system (T1/E1
line connected to PBX or telco office), and Ethernet network. Figure 2-3 shows the back panel connectors and
the associated cable connections. The following procedure details the steps necessary for cabling your
MultiVOIP.
1. Connect the power cord to a live AC outlet, and then connect it to the MultiVOIP’s power receptacle
shown at top right in figure below.
Figure 2-3: Cabling for MVP2410/3010
2. Connect the MultiVOIP to the PC (the computer that will hold the MultiVOIP software) using the RJ-45 to
DB9 (female) cable provided with your unit. Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the Console port of the
MultiVOIP and connect the other end (the DB9 connector) to the PC serial port you are using (typically
COM1 or COM2). See Figure 2-3.
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 intend to configure the MultiVOIP remotely using the MultiVOIP Windows GUI, connect an RJ-11
phone cable between the Command Modem connector (at the rear of the MultiVOIP) and a receptacle
served by a telco POTS line. See Figure 2-4.
The Command Modem is built into the MultiVOIP unit. To configure the MultiVOIP remotely using its
Windows GUI, you must call into the MultiVOIP’s Command Modem. Once a connection is made, the
configuration process is identical to local configuration with the Windows GUI.
