Introduction to Analog MultiVOIPs (MVP130, MVP-210/410/810 & MVP428)

VOIP: The Free Ride. We proudly present Multi-Tech's MVP130, MVP- 210/410/810 generation of MultiVOIP Voice-over-IP Gateways and models MVP-210G/410G/810G equipped with embedded gatekeeper functionality . All of these models allow voice/fax communication to be transmitted at no additional expense over your existing IP network, which has ordinarily been data only. To access this free voice and fax communication, you simply connect the MultiVOIP to your telephone equipment and your existing Internet connection. These analog MultiVOIPs inter-operate readily with T1 or E1 MultiVOIP units.

Capacity. MultiVOIP models MVP810 and MVP810G are eight-channel units, models MVP410 and MVP410G are four-channel units, and models MVP210 and MVP210G are two-channel units. The MVP130 is a single- channel unit. All of these MultiVOIP units have a 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface and a command port for configuration. The MVP428 is an expansion circuit card for the four-channel MVP410 that turns it into an eight-channel voip.

Mounting. Mechanically, the MVP410 and MVP810 MultiVOIPs are designed for a one-high industry-standard EIA 19-inch rack enclosure. By contrast, MVP130 and the MVP210 are tabletop units. The product must be installed by qualified service personnel in a restricted-access area, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 10-17, and 110-18 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Phone System Transparency. 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 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.

H. 323, SIP, & SPP. Being H.323 compatible, the analog MultiVOIP unit can place calls to telephone equipment at remote IP network locations that also contain H.323 compatible voice-over-IP gateways. It will interface with H.323 software and H.323 gatekeeper units. H.323 specifications also bring to voip telephony many special features common to conventional telephony. H.323 features of this kind that have been implemented into the MultiVOIP include Call Hold, Call Waiting, Call Identification, Call Forwarding (from the H.450
