Con guring a MultiVOIP Network

Now that you have a basic understanding of Voice over IP, the MultiVOIP gateway, and its applications,

the next step is to learn how easy it is to con gure the solution around existing telephone and data

networks.

Con guring the Telephony Interface

Let’s  rst discuss how to con gure the MultiVOIP gateway to the various telephony options. We will look

at both the analog and digital MultiVOIP solution.

Con guring an Analog MultiVOIP:

The MultiVOIP gateway is equipped to support one of three voice-port signaling types*:

1. FXS (foreign exchange station) interface: connects directly to phones, faxes, and CO ports on

PBXs or key telephone systems (KTS)

2. FXO (foreign exchange of ce) interface: connects directly to an analog PBX extension, PSTN, or

KTS extensions

3. E&M interface (Ear and Mouth): connects directly to analog PBX trunk ports

* MVP130 supports FXS and FXO only.

The type of phone equipment that you use to connect to the MultiVOIP gateway will determine which

interface port you will use:

You will note that with a key telephone system and a PBX, you have a couple of interface options. The

interface that you use will create a different path and dialing procedures for the Voice over IP call.

In general, MultiVOIP does not modify the behavior of the telephone equipment. It simply provides

a connection to the IP data network instead of the PSTN and passes along the equipment’s features

and functionality.
