Introduction to ISDN-BRI MultiVOIPs (MVP410ST & MVP810ST)
VOIP: The Free Ride. We proudly present Multi-Tech's MVP- 410ST/810ST generation of MultiVOIP Voice-over-IP Gateways. 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 ISDN Basic Rate Interface (ISDN- BRI) MultiVOIPs inter-operate readily with T1 or E1 MultiVOIP units (T1 and E1 MultiVOIP units can operate in ISDN Primary Rate Mode, ISDN-PRI, as well).

Capacity. MultiVOIP model MVP810ST accommodates four ISDN-BRI lines (eight B-channels) and model MVP410ST accommodates two ISDN-BRI channels (four B-channels). Both of these MultiVOIP units have a 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface and a command port for configuration.
Mounting. Mechanically, the MVP410ST and MVP810ST MultiVOIPs are designed for a one-high industry-standard EIA 19-inch rack enclosure. 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.
