Chapter 1 - Introduction to the MultiVOIP

you use the same port number. The Gatekeeper administrator will then enter your information into the Gatekeeper data base. This concludes the preregisteration.

You can enter your alias address information into the Add/Edit Phone Entry dialog box. For example, if you were setting up the corporate MultiVOIP, you could enter the following information for the Voice/Fax Channel: Channel 1 of the corporate MultiVOIP uses extension 101. The Description is optional, but it may be helpful if it is assigned to an individual or department.

The H323 ID assigned to this phone number identifies the office using this extension. The IP Address of the Corporate MultiVOIP is 201.022.122.118. The default port number 1720 is used.

Once the MultiVOIP goes online, the Gatekeeper registers it with the above H.323 ID. No other H323 endpoint can use this H.323 ID. This is like your own telephone number.

After you have entered the information in the Add/Edit Phone Entry dialog box and clicked OK, the new phone number is added to the Phone Directory Database.

Proprietary Phone Book

If you choose the Proprietary Phone Book option in the Phone Directory Database dialog box instead of the Gatekeeper option, the Database Type group becomes active and the RAS Parameters group becomes inactive.

When you elect to use the Proprietary Phone Book, you set up a master-slave relationship. This relationship allows one MultiVOIP to maintain the Phone Directory Database and publish this data base to all MultiVOIP participants in the network. This proprietary database allows you to see all the participants in your network and provides you with their phone numbers.

To set up a database so that the corporate MultiVOIP can call the remote branch office and the remote branch office can call the corporate MultiVOIP, the Phone Directory Database will have one entry for the corporate office and one entry for the Remote Branch Office. Extension 101 at the corporate office is tied to voice channel 1. The Description again is optional. The Hunt Group in this example is set for No Hunt. However, if you want to activate a Hunt Group (if an extension on the MultiVOIP is busy and you wanted to look for another extension), you can assign a hunt group to those extensions. In other words, if extension 101 is busy, the corporate MultiVOIP would roll over to extension 102, if you have multiple voice channels.
