There are two ways in which the MultiVOIP must be configured before 

operation:  technical configuration and phonebook configuration.   
Technical Configuration.  First, the MultiVOIP must be configured to 

operate with technical parameter settings that will match the 

equipment with which it interfaces.  There are eight types of technical 

parameters that must be set.   
These technical parameters pertain to  

(1) its operation in an IP network,  

(2) its operation with telephony equipment,  

(3) its transmission of voice and fax messages,  

(4) its interaction with SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) 

network management software (MultiVoipManager),   

(5) certain telephony attributes that are common to particular nations or 

regions, 

(6) its operation with a mail server on the same IP network (per SMTP 

parameters) such that log reports about VoIP telephone call traffic can 

be sent to the administrator by email,  

(7) implementing some common premium telephony features (Call 

Transfer, Call Hold, Call Waiting, Call ID – “Supplementary Services”), 

and 

(8) selecting the method by which log reports will be made accessible. 
The process of specifying values for the various parameters in these 

seven categories is what we call “technical configuration” and it is 

described in this chapter.  
Phonebook Configuration.  The second type of configuration that is 

required for the MultiVOIP pertains to the phone number dialing 

sequences that it will receive and transmit when handling calls.  Dialing 

patterns will be affected by both the PBX/telephony equipment and the 

other VOIP devices that the MultiVOIP unit interacts with.  We call this 

“Phonebook Configuration,” and, for analog MultiVOIP units, it is 

described in Chapter 6.  The Quick Start Guide presents additional 

information on phonebook setup. 
Local/Remote Configuration.  The MultiVOIP must be configured 

locally at first (to establish an IP address for the MultiVOIP unit).  But 

changes to this initial configuration can be done either locally or 

remotely.
