2. Power Connection. Connect the power cord supplied with your MultiVOIP to
a live AC outlet and to the power connector on the back of the MultiVOIP.
3. VOIP-to-Network Connection. Connect a network cable (RJ45-to-RJ45) to
the WAN connector on the back of the MultiVOIP. Connect the other end of
the cable to your network. The MultiVOIP’s default IP address is
192.168.2.1.
4. Computer-to-Network Connection. Connect a network cable (RJ45-to-
RJ45) between your LAN/WAN network and the control computer that you
will use to configure/control the MultiVOIP. The control computer’s IP
address must be set so that the first three octets of the IP address match
those of the MultiVOIP (192.168.2.x).
5. Telephony Connection. Connect a 50-conductor cable (RJ21-to-RJ21)
between the MultiVOIP’s TELECOM receptacle and your telephone
equipment. The MultiVOIP requires a male RJ-21 connector. Secure the RJ-
21 connector to the TELECOM receptacle with a screw (which is typically
built into the connector) and use the hold-down device to secure the cable to
the back panel of the MultiVOIP unit. The gender of the RJ-21 connector on
the other end of the cable must fit your telephony equipment. The figure
below shows some typical ways in which the other end of the RJ-21 cable
might be connected.
