Configuring the MultiVOIP
FXS (Loop Start): If a station device such as an analog
telephone, fax machine, or KTS (Key Telephone System)
is connected to the Voice/Fax connector on the back of the
unit, FXS (Loop Start) will likely be the correct Interface
option.
FXS (Ground Start): If the station device uses ground
start, then choose the FXS (Ground Start) option. Refer to
the device’s user documentation.
For both FXS Loop Start and FXS Ground Start , the Ring
Count FXS window allows you to set the maximum
number of rings before hanging up and releasing the line
to another call. The default setting is 8 counts.
Note: Zero (0) means no rings - caller hears a busy tone.
FXO: If you are using an analog extension from your PBX,
then choose the FXO option. Check with your in-house
phone personnel to verify the connection type.
If FXO is selected, the Dialing Options Regeneration,
Flash Hook Timer, and Ring Count groups are enabled.
Check with your local in-house phone personnel to verify
whether your local PBX dial signaling is Pulse or DTMF
(tone). Then, set the Regeneration option accordingly. The
Flash Hook Timer allows you to enter the time, in
milliseconds, for the duration of the flash hook signal
output on the FXO interface. The default setting is 600
milliseconds. The Ring Count FXO window allows you to
set the number of rings received on the FXO interface
before the MultiVOIP 400/800 answers the incoming call.
The default setting is 2 counts.
Note: Zero (0) means that the MultiVOIP 400/800 never
answers.
For FXO-to-FXO communications, you can enable a
specific type of FXO Disconnect: Current Loss, Tone
Detection, or Silence Detection. Check with your in-
house phone personnel to verify the preferred type of
disconnect to use. Enabling Tone Detection activates the
