Chapter 4 - MultiVOIP Software

client MultiVOIP will be defined as using dynamic addressing and the IP Address box will be unavailable.

If a Proxy Server with a static IP address is in front of the client MultiVOIP, then the IP Address box must contain the address of the Proxy Server.

If the client MultiVOIP is connected directly to the Internet, then its addressing mode must be Static. If the client unit is using Static addressing, then the IP Address box has to contain the Static IP address of the client MultiVOIP.

The Ethernet Node ID is a 12-digit Identification Number assigned to each unit. This Ethernet Node ID number is a hardware identification number that is affixed to each unit during the manufacturing process and cannot be changed. This ID number (for example, 0008005xxxxx) is located on an ID plate attached to every unit. This ID number has to be entered in the Ethernet Node ID box for the telephone number entered in the Phone Number box. If you are assigning a Phone Number for a client unit, the Ethernet Node ID has to be for that client unit.

If this plate is damaged or missing, you can also obtain the ID number by Telneting to the unit. From the MultiVOIP Telnet Server menu, choose the Voice over IP Configuration option which takes you to the Main menu. In the Main menu, choose System Information and the ID number is presented in the Ethernet Port Address of the System Information menu.

When you enter this information and click OK, the information is loaded into the phone directory database.

To add a second entry, click Add and the Add/Edit Phone Entry dialog box displays again. The same data needs to be added for each channel. After the two local entries are added to the database, then you need to turn your attention to the entries for the remote MultiVOIPs. The same data has to be added for each remote MultiVOIP.

To establish the phone directory database for a remote MultiVOIP, you do not have to enter phone numbers, but you have to check the Client option in the Database Type group. When you click the Client option, the Update Database From group becomes active. You need to enter the IP address of the MultiVOIP that you established as the Host.
