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.
Remote configuration is done through a connection between the MultiVOIP’s
Ethernet (network) port and a computer connected to the same network. The
computer could be miles or continents away from the MultiVOIP itself. There
are two ways of doing remote configuration and operation of the MultiVOIP
