MultiVOIP Quick Start Guide

Installing Your MultiVOIP
The basic steps of installing your MultiVOIP network involve
unpacking the units, connecting the cables, and configuring
the units using the included management software (MultiVOIP
Configuration). The recommended installation process
includes three phases that, when completed, result in a fully
functional Voice Over IP network. A general description of
each phase is provided below, and detailed instructions follow
throughout the rest of this section.
Configure and Install Your Host MultiVOIP
As the first step, the VOIP administrator configures the
MultiVOIP designated as the “Host” unit. This includes the
assignment of a unique LAN IP address, subnet mask, and
Gateway IP address. Once all connections have been made,
the VOIP administrator configures the unit and builds the
Phone Directory Database that will reside with the Host unit.
Configure Your Client MultiVOIPs
Once installation has been completed, the administrator
moves on to configure the MultiVOIPs designated as “Client”
units. Again, unique LAN IP addresses, subnet masks, and
Gateway IP address. When this is done, the Phone Directory
Database option is set to Client, and the IP address of the
Host MultiVOIP is entered. Once all Client units are
configured, the VOIP network can be deployed.
