Introduction
Welcome to Multi-Tech's new stand-alone Voice/IP Gateway,
the MultiVOIP, model MVP200. The MultiVOIP 200 allows
analog voice and fax communication over an IP network. Multi-
Tech’s voice/fax gateway technology allows voice/fax
communication to be transmitted, with no additional expense,
over your existing IP network, which has traditionally been
data-only. To access this free voice and fax communication, all
you have to do is connect the MultiVOIP 200 to your telephone
equipment, and then to your existing Internet connection. Once
configured, the MultiVOIP 200 then allows voice and fax to
travel down the same path as your traditional data
communications.
The MultiVOIP 200 supports the H.323 standards-based
protocol enabling your MultiVOIP 200 to communicate with
other third-party VOIP Gateways or other endpoints that
support the H.323 protocol (e.g., Microsoft NetMeeting
®
 ). The
H.323 standard defines how endpoints make and receive calls,
how endpoints negotiate a common set of audio and data
capabilities, and how information is formatted and sent over
the network. This version of the software also supports
communication with a Multi-Tech MVPGK1 Gatekeeper or an
optional 3rd party H.323 Gatekeeper which, when enabled,
maintains its own phonebook database, pre-registers all users,
controls the bandwidth, and handles all conferencing issues
such as transferring of calls.
