Phonebook Example (One Common Situation)
The Quick Start Guide also contains a “Phonebook Worksheet” section. You may want to print out several worksheet copies. Paper copies can be very helpful in comparing phonebooks at multiple sites at a glance. This will assist you in making the phonebooks clear and consistent and will reduce ‘surfing’ between screens on the configuration program.
A printed Cabling Guide is shipped with the MultiVOIP and an electronic copy is included on the Product CD.

You’ll find out if your voip system can carry phone calls between two sites. That means you’re up and running!
