How to Use This Manual. In short, use the index and the examples.

When our readers crack open this large manual, they generally need one of two things: information on a

very specific software setting or technical parameter (about telephony or IP) or they need help when setting

up phonebooks for their voip systems. The index gives quick access to voip settings and parameters. It’s

detailed. Use it. The best way to learn about phonebooks is to wade through examples like those in our

Phonebook Configuration chapter. Finally, this manual is meant to be comprehensive. If you notice that

something important is lacking, please let us know.
Additional Resources. The MultiTech web site (www.multitech.com) offers both a list of Frequently Asked

Questions (the MultiVOIP FAQ) and a collection of resolutions of issues that MultiVOIP users have

encountered (these are Troubleshooting Resolutions in the searchable Knowledge Base).
