5. Repeat step 4 to connect the remaining telephone equipment to each channel on your MultiVOIP.
Although a MultiVOIP’s channels are often all configured identically, each channel is individually
configurable. So, for example, some channels of a MultiVOIP might use the FXO interface and others the
FXS.
6. Ensure that the unit is properly connected to earth ground by verifying that it is reliably grounded when
mounted within a rack.
This can be accomplished by connecting a grounding wire between the chassis grounding screw (see
Figure 3-6) and a metallic object that will provide an electrical ground.
7. Turn on power to the MultiVOIP by placing the ON/OFF switch on the back panel to the ON position.
Wait for the Boot LED on the MultiVOIP to go off before proceeding. This may take a few minutes.
With the connections made, you are ready to contact the web GUI and begin configuring the MultiVOIP.
