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.)

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).
