Introduction to ISDN-BRI MultiVOIPs
(MVP410ST & MVP810ST)
VOIP: The Free Ride. We proudly present Multi-Tech's MVP-410ST/810ST
generation of MultiVOIP Voice-over-IP Gateways. All of these models allow
voice/fax communication to be transmitted at no additional expense over your
existing IP network, which has ordinarily been data only. To access this free
voice and fax communication, you simply connect the MultiVOIP to your
telephone equipment and your existing Internet connection. These ISDN Basic
Rate Interface (ISDN-BRI) MultiVOIPs inter-operate readily with T1 or E1
MultiVOIP units (T1 and E1 MultiVOIP units can operate in ISDN Primary
Rate Mode, ISDN-PRI, as well).
Capacity. MultiVOIP model MVP810ST accommodates four ISDN-BRI lines
(eight B-channels) and model MVP410ST accommodates two ISDN-BRI
channels (four B-channels). Both of these MultiVOIP units have a 10/100Mbps
Ethernet interface and a command port for configuration.
Mounting. Mechanically, the MVP410ST and MVP810ST MultiVOIPs are
designed for a one-high industry-standard EIA 19-inch rack enclosure. The
product must be installed by qualified service personnel in a restricted-access
area, in accordance with Articles 110-16, 10-17, and 110-18 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Phone System Transparency. These MultiVOIPs inter-operate with a
telephone switch or PBX, acting as a switching device that directs voice and
fax calls over an IP network. The MultiVOIPs have “phonebooks,” directories
that determine to who calls may be made and the sequences that must be used
to complete calls through the MultiVOIP. The phonebooks allow the phone
user to interact with the VOIP system just as they would with an ordinary PBX
or telco switch. When the phonebooks are set, special dialing sequences are
minimized or eliminated altogether. Once the call destination is determined,
the phonebook settings determine whether the destination VOIP unit must strip
off or add dialing digits to make the call appear at its destination to be a local
call.
