Chapter 1 - Introduction and Description
The MultiVOIP Identification defines the MultiVOIP for which you are assigning the phone number.
The Type group (Dynamic or Static) defines the type of IP address that is used for this MultiVOIP.
The host MultiVOIP requires a static IP address so that the slave units know where the host
MultiVOIP is in the network.  The Identified By group defines the IP address of the MultiVOIP for
which the telephone number is being assigned. The Ethernet Node ID number is the 12-digit Node
ID# (0008005xxxxx) that is assigned to every unit during the manufacturing process and cannot be
changed. It is located on the ID plate on the bottom of the unit.
When you have enterred this information in the Add/Edit Phone Entry dialog box, the new phone
number is added to the Phone Directory Database.
You would continue this process for the next 3 Voice Channels of the Corporate Office MultiVOIP
while changing the phone number and corresponding channel number.  When you have enterred all
the Corporate Office numbers, then you would add the phone numbers for the Sales Office.
The Station Information is enterred with the same reasoning as for the host MultiVOIP.  But, the
MultiVOIP Identification for the Sales Office client unit depends on how it is used in its network.  For
example, if the client unit is behind a proxy server and the proxy server is providing the connection to
the Internet and the proxy server is using dynamic addressing (i.e., the ISP is assigning the IP
addressing), then this client MultiVOIP will use dynamic addressing and the IP Address field in the
Identified By group will be greyed out (inactive). If the proxy server is using static addressing, then
the Type group would be static and the IP Address field in the Identified By group would contain the
IP address of the proxy server. If the client MultiVOIP is connected to the Internet via a router, as in
