Chapter 4: Configuring your VOIP

SNMP

If you intend to manage your MultiVOIP remotely using the MultiVoipManager software, you will need to set the Simple Network Management Protocol parameters. To make the MultiVOIP controllable by a remote PC running the MultiVoipManager software, check the “Enable SNMP Agent” box on the SNMP Parameters screen.

The –SS and –FX series MultiVOIPs only have limited SNMP functionality available. If this is something you wish to use on those models, please contact Multi-Tech Support for assistance.

IP address of MultiVoipManager PC.

A “community” is a group of VOIP endpoints that can communicate with each other. Often “public” is used to designate a grouping where all end users have access to entire VOIP network. However, calling permissions can be configured to restrict access as needed.

The default port number of the SNMP manager receiving the traps is the standard port 162.

First community grouping.

If this community needs to change MultiVOIP settings, select Read/Write. Otherwise, select Read-Only to view settings.

Second community grouping

If this community needs to change MultiVOIP settings, select Read/Write. Otherwise, select Read-Only to view settings.
