Overview MultiVOIP FXS User Guide

About This Manual

This manual is about Voice-over-IP products made by Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. It describes three analog

MultiVOIPTM FX units that operate with the SIP transmission protocol only and use the FXS telephony

interface only, namely, models MVPFXS-24, MVPFXS-16, and MVPFXS-8. At this writing, only the

MVPFXS-24 model has been released; the MVPFXS-16 and MVPFXS-8 will be forthcoming.

These MultiVOIP units can inter-operate with other contemporary analog MultiVOIP units (MVP130,

MVP130FXS, MVP210, MVP410, and MVP810), with contemporary SIP-Survivability MultiVOIP units

(MVP210-SS, MVP410-SS, and MVP810-SS), with contemporary BRI MultiVOIP units (MVP410ST &

MVP810ST), with contemporary FXO/FXS SIP MultiVOIPs (MVPFX2-2/4/8), with contemporary digital

T1/E1/ISDN-PRI MultiVOIP units (MVP2410 and MVP3010), and with the earlier generation of MultiVOIP

products (MVP200, MVP400, MVP800, MVP120, etc.)

The table below describes the vital characteristics of the various models described in this manual.

How to Use This Manual. In short, use the index and the examples.

When our readers crack open this large manual, they generally need one of two things: information on a

very specific software setting or technical parameter (about telephony or IP) or they need help when setting

up phonebooks for their voip systems. The index gives quick access to voip settings and parameters. It’s

detailed. Use it. The best way to learn about phonebooks is to wade through examples like those in our

Phonebook Configuration chapter. Finally, this manual is meant to be comprehensive. If you notice that

something important is lacking, please let us know.

Additional Resources. The MultiTech web site (www.multitech.com) offers both a list of Frequently Asked

Questions (the MultiVOIP FAQ) and a collection of resolutions of issues that MultiVOIP users have

encountered (these are Troubleshooting Resolutions in the searchable Knowledge Base).
