MultiVOIP User Guide Overview

Gatekeeper. E1 voip systems can have gatekeeper functionality either by
adding, as an endpoint, either a Multi-Tech standalone gatekeeper (special
software residing in separate hardware) or an analog gateway with embedded
gatekeeper functionality (MVP210G, MVP410G, or MVP810G). Gatekeepers
are optional but useful within voip systems. The gatekeeper acts as the
‘clearinghouse’ for all calls within its zone. MultiTech’s embedded and stand-
alone gatekeeper software packages both perform all of the standard
gatekeepers functions (address translation, admission control, bandwidth
control, and zone management) and also support many valuable optional
functions (call control signaling, call authorization, bandwidth management,
and call management). The stand-alone gatekeeper is, however, slightly more
feature-rich than the embedded gatekeeper. For more details, see the
“Embedded Gatekeeper” chapter of this manual and the manual on
MultiTech’s stand-alone gatekeeper.
Management. Configuration and system management can be done locally
with the MultiVOIP configuration software. After an IP address has been
assigned locally, other configuration can be done remotely using the
MultiVOIP web browser GUI. Remote system management can be done with
the MultiVoipManager SNMP software or via the MultiVOIP web browser
GUI. All of these control software packages are included on the Product CD.
