Configuring the Digital T1/E1 MultiVOIP
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 seven types of technical
parameters that must be set.
These technical parameters pertain to
(1) its operation in an IP network,
(2) its operation with T1/E1 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. Both
the PBX/telephony equipment and the other VOIP devices that the
MultiVOIP unit interacts with will affect dialing patterns. We call this
“Phonebook Configuration,” and it is described in Chapter 7: T1
Phonebook Configuration and Chapter 8: E1 Phonebook Configuration of this
manual. Chapter 2, the Quick Start Instructions, presents additional
examples relevant to the T1/E1 voips.
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.
Local configuration is done through a connection between the
“Command” port of the MultiVOIP and the COM port of the computer;
the MultiVOIP configuration program is used.
