Beyond general setup information (like Mechanical Installation, & Cabling, LED definitions, and other general info which are presented in the MultiVOIP User Guide & Quick Start Guide), this software guide presents all the information you need to configure your MultiVOIP for use in a Communication Manager system.

MultiVOIPs in Avaya Communication Manager Systems
The Communication Manager build of the MultiVOIP software allows for use of MultiVOIP units in conjunction with
In addition to functioning as a gateway, the MultiVOIP also contains an integrated gatekeeper, except MVP130 Models. This allows the MultiVOIP to serve as it’s own alternate gatekeeper should Communication Manager be unavailable. When serving as an alternate gatekeeper, the MultiVOIP processes registration and call routing for it’s local FXS/FXO/DID ports as well as local Avaya IP phones. This is the MultiVOIP’s “gatekeeper survivability” mode.
Each MultiVOIP voice channel can be registered with a primary Communication Manager gatekeeper or one of two optional alternate gatekeepers. The optional gatekeepers can be other Communication Manager gatekeepers or the integrated MultiVOIP gatekeeper.
The diagram below shows a common function for the MultiVOIP unit within the Communication Manager network: the MultiVOIP allows selected callers at a site remote from the Avaya PBX units to have access to the PBX units and all of their extensions without tolls. Voice and fax calls are supported.
