Installing Your MultiVOIP 200
The basic steps of installing your MultiVOIP 200 network
involve unpacking the units, connecting the cables, and
configuring the units using management software (MultiVOIP
200 Configuration). This  process results in a fully functional
Voice Over IP network. A brief description is provided below
with detailed instructions provided later.
Installing and Configuring Your MultiVOIP 200
The VOIP administrator must first install the MultiVOIP 200
software and then configure each MultiVOIP 200 for its specific
function. During the configuration process, it’s important to
note that the Phone Directory Database is configured
differently depending on whether or not you have Gatekeeper
support on your VOIP network.
If your VOIP network supports an H.323 Gatekeeper, you
must register all H.323 endpoints with the Gatekeeper.  The
procedure for doing this is explained in the section
“Registering with a Gatekeeper Phone Directory.”
If your VOIP network does not have Gatekeeper software or
the Gatekeeper software is not enabled, then you must build a
proprietary phonebook with a “Host” MultiVOIP 200 and
“Client” MultiVOIP 200s. The “Host” unit includes the
assignment of a unique LAN IP address, subnet mask, and
Gateway IP address; as well as the selection of appropriate
channel interface type for each of the Voice/Fax channels.
Once all connections have been made, the VOIP administrator
configures the unit and builds the Phone Directory Database
that will reside in the Host unit.
After the “Host” MultiVOIP 200 is configured, the administrator
moves on to configure the MultiVOIP 200(s) designated as
“Client” units.  Again, unique LAN IP addresses, subnet masks,
and Gateway IP addresses are assigned, and each Voice/Fax
channel is configured for the appropriate channel interface
type. When this is done, the Phone Directory Database option
