About This Manual
MultiVOIP models (MVP130-AV, MVP130-AV-FXS, MVP210-AV, MVP410-AV, & MVP810-AV) being used
in systems containing Avaya PBX units and controlled by AvayaTM Communication Manager software
differ only slightly from those being used in general voice-over-IP applications. Because this is so,
comprehensive information on the general setup of these MultiVOIP units can be found in the MultiVOIP
User Guide. However, certain MultiVOIP parameters are unique to operation in Communication Manager
systems. This manual describes these parameters.
Beyond general setup information (like Mechanical Installation, & Cabling, LED definitions, and other
general info which are presented in the MultiVOIP User Guide & Quick Start Guide), this software guide
presents all the information you need to configure your MultiVOIP for use in a Communication Manager
system. It presents information on the MultiVOIP software screens as well as the related Communication
Manager screens. The MultiVOIP User Guide remains valuable as a reference source.
MultiVOIPs in Avaya Communication Manager Systems
The Communication Manager build of the MultiVOIP software allows for use of MultiVOIP units in
conjunction with IP-equipped Avaya PBX units. These PBXs are equipped with H.323 gatekeeper
functionality and support endpoints such as IP phones and MultiVOIP gateways.
In addition to functioning as a gateway, the MultiVOIP also contains an integrated gatekeeper, except
MVP130 Models. This allows the MultiVOIP to serve as it’s own alternate gatekeeper should
Communication Manager be unavailable. When serving as an alternate gatekeeper, the MultiVOIP
processes registration and call routing for it’s local FXS/FXO/DID ports as well as local Avaya IP phones.
This is the MultiVOIP’s “gatekeeper survivability” mode.
Each MultiVOIP voice channel can be registered with a primary Communication Manager gatekeeper or
one of two optional alternate gatekeepers. The optional gatekeepers can be other Communication Manager
gatekeepers or the integrated MultiVOIP gatekeeper.
The diagram below shows a common function for the MultiVOIP unit within the Communication Manager
network: the MultiVOIP allows selected callers at a site remote from the Avaya PBX units to have access to
the PBX units and all of their extensions without tolls. Voice and fax calls are supported.

Chapter 1 - Introduction
Figure 1. MultiVOIP in Avaya Communication Manager System
The MVP810-AV shown in the diagram on the previous page functions as a gateway registered to one of
the Communication Managers in the IP network. The MVP810-AV provides survivable calling between the
IP Phones, stations (FXS) and trunk (FXO/DID) ports at the remote site should the WAN link go down.
The MultiVOIP will not serve as a survivable gatekeeper for IP phones on the other side of the wan link.
If the WAN link goes down, the MultiVOIP will try to register six times with the Primary Communication
Manager Gatekeeper at 3-second intervals. If the Primary gatekeeper does not respond, the MultiVOIP will
try to register with the Alternate #1 Communication Manager Gatekeeper six times at 3-second intervals. If
the alternate #1 gatekeeper does not respond, the MultiVOIP will register with the Alternate #2 gatekeeper,
which is the integrated MultiVOIP gatekeeper. If the MultiVOIP registers to its own gatekeeper, this is
gatekeeper survivability mode where the MultiVOIP will process registration and call routing for its local
FXS/FXO/DID ports as well as local Avaya IP phones.
While in gatekeeper survivability mode, the MultiVOIP checks for the availability of the primary
Communication Manager gatekeeper every 3-minutes. The MultiVOIP will re-register and discontinue its
survivability mode automatically when the primary Communication Manager gatekeeper becomes
available. Any calls that were established during the "survivable mode" which are still active while the
MultiVOIP gateway returns to "subtending mode" to the CM gatekeeper, shall be preserved by the
MultiVOIP gatekeeper. When these calls become inactive (idle), the MultiVOIP gatekeeper shall force these
endpoints to unregister with the MultiVOIP gatekeeper and re-register with the CM gatekeeper.
If the MultiVOIP is not configured as an alternate gatekeeper, and none of the Primary, Alternate #1, or
Alternate #2 CM gatekeepers respond, the MultiVOIP will enter gateway survivable mode (if enabled) and
will process calls according to it’s inbound and outbound phone books. In gateway survivable mode, the
MultiVOIP will check for the availability of the primary Communication Manager gatekeeper according to
the Switching Time Interval programmed into the Communication Manager Parameters screen of the
MultiVOIP configuration. The MultiVOIP will exit gateway survivability mode if it is able to register with
the Primary CM gatekeeper. Gateway survivability mode is enabled by checking the “Enable Survivability
Mode” checkbox in the Communication Manager Parameters screen. If IP phone survivability is required,
you must enable gatekeeper survivability mode instead by configuring the MultiVOIP as one of the
alternate #1 or alternate #2 gatekeepers.
The following Avaya IP Phone models are supported in gatekeeper survivable mode:

Chapter 2 - Configuration
Configuring MultiVOIP for Avaya Communication Manager Use
To configure the MultiVOIP unit within such a system (similar to that in Figure 1), use the Communication
Manager Parameters screen within the MultiVOIP program. If “Register with Communication Manager
Gatekeeper” is selected, then many parameters must assume default values and those will be grayed out on
the screen. In setting up the MultiVOIP unit for Communication Manager use, bear in mind that you may
configure the MultiVOIP to operate with any combination of stations (FXS) and/or trunks (FXO/DID).
1. Configure IP Parameters
1a. Configure the IP address, gateway address, and mask used by the MultiVOIP unit in the
Configuration |IP Parameters screen of the MultiVOIP program. The IP address must match that
used in the Communication Manager “Change Node Names IP” form (dialog box).
1b. DiffServ PHB (Per Hop Behavior) values pertain to a differential prioritizing system for IP packets
as handled by DiffServ-compatible routers. There are 64 values, each with an elaborate technical
description. These descriptions are found in TCP/IP standards RFC2474, RFC2597, and, for present
purposes, in RFC3246, which describes the value 34 (34 decimal; 22 hex) for Assured Forwarding
behavior (default for Call Control PHB) and the value 46 (46 decimal; 2E hexadecimal) for
Expedited Forwarding behavior (default for Voip Media PHB).
If you wish to use just one DiffServ PHB value, Ayaya recommends the value 46 (46 decimal; 2E
hex) for both Call Control and VOIP Media.
1c. If you require that the MultiVOIP get its IP address from a DHCP server, select the “Enable DHCP”
option. The DHCP server must be located at the same site as the MultiVOIP so it is available in the
event of wan link failure. The DHCP server must issue an IP address that is statically defined on
the DHCP server so that the MultiVOIP gets the same IP address all the time.
1d. TDM Routing Option. Calls placed between ports on the same MultiVOIP voice channel board
will normally be routed over the MultiVOIP’s internal TDM (Time Division Multiplexed) bus. TDM
calls have less delay than calls routed over IP. On MVP410/810-AV models, calls between channels
1-4 or channels 5-8 will be TDM routed. Calls between voice boards (for example, channel 1 calling
channel 5) will be IP routed. If you require all calls to be IP routed, disable the “use TDM Routing
for Intra-Gateway Calls” option. This should not normally be required, so it is recommended that
you leave TDM Routing enabled.

1e. TCP/UDP port requrements. To ensure proper functioning of the MultiVOIP, the TCP/UDP
network connection must not be blocked on the network connection between the MultiVOIP and
CM.
The UDP ports used by the MultiVOIP are as follows:
Channel
RTP Port
5006
RTCP Port
5007
T38 Port

The TCP ports used by the MultiVOIP are as follows:
H.225 Listen Port – User configured for each channel in the CM Settings screen (default 1721 –
1728)
H.225 Client Port – Dynamic (16000 – 20000)
H.245 Listen Port – Dynamic (16000 – 20000)
RAS Client Port – Dynamic (16000 – 20000)
1f. Emergency Transfer. Emergency transfer allows local analog telephones to access the local CO and
to answer telephone calls during a power failure.
For the various products the features operate as follows:
MVP210-AV
Port 1 is connected to Port 2
MVP410-AV
Port 1 is connected to Port 2
Port 3 is connected to Port 4
MVP810-AV
Port 1 is connected to Port 2
Port 3 is connected to Port 4
For example, suppose ports 1 and 3 of MVP410-AV are configured as FXS with telephones
attached. Ports 2 and 4 are configured as FXO trunks with CO lines attached. If there is a power
failure, the telephones on ports 1 and 3 would automatically be connected to the CO lines attached
to ports 2 and 4 allowing inbound and/or outbound call to be make.
Note: This feature shall only be available on “AV” models of the gateway that are:
Rev B: For the MVP410 and MVP810 models
Rev B: For the MVP210 model

Chapter 2 – Configuration
2. Configure Interface Parameters.
2a. Determine which voice channels will be stations (FXS), trunks (FXO/DID), or disabled. Configure
them as such in the Configuration | Interface screen of the MultiVOIP GUI.
2b. If you are configuring a DID-DPO (Direct Inward Dial – dial-pulse originating) interface for DID
incoming calls, you need to chose DID-DPO from the pull down menu for Interface Type. You also
have to set the DID Options Start Modes; Immediate Start, Wink Start, or Delay Dial.
Immediate Start allows the MultiVOIP to detect the off-hook condition at the originating end of the
call and becomes ready to receive the digits immediately.
Wink Start allows the MultiVOIP to detect the off-hook condition at the originating end of the call.
The MultiVOIP then reverses the battery polarity for a specified time (140-290 ms; a “wink”) and
then becomes ready to receive the dialed digits. You can select the Wink Timer duration (140 to 290
ms).
Delay Dial allows the MultiVOIP to detect the off-hook condition at the originating end of the call.
Then the MultVOIP reverses battery polarity for a specified time (reverse polarity duration has a
wider acceptable range than Wink Start) and then becomes ready to receive dialed digits.
2c. Enable the “Message Waiting Light” feature if you have FXS Interface selected and are using an
Avaya analog telephone with Message Waiting indicator or enable “Stutter Dial Tone” if you are

Chapter 2 - Configuration
using a non-Avaya analog telephone. This station must be properly administered in the Audix
Voice Mail System for the message waiting feature to work.
2d. Activate the “Caller ID” feature if you have FXS Interface selected and are using an analog
telephone with caller ID display. The MultiVOIP will output Caller ID information, if received,
between the first and second rings.
2e. Activate “Caller ID” on FXO interfaces if the attached line supports it. The MultiVOIP will capture
the Caller ID information, if provided, between the first and second rings and will forward the
information to CM.
Note: If the CM customer is operating on CM release 2.0.1 (or newer), remember that for the ‘h323’
specified station, the following CM admin fields must be set appropriately:
a) The ‘Message Waiting’ field must be enabled and set to “led” if this feature is intended to be
supported on the MultiVOIPs analog station port.
b) Similarly, the following features must be enabled as desired:
• Switchhook flash
• Call Waiting Indication
• Attendant Call Waiting Indication

Chapter 2 – Configuration
3. Configure Voice/Fax Parameters.
3a. In the MultiVOIP’s Configuration | Voice/Fax Parameters screen, configure the voice channels for a
voice coder that is supported by Communication Manager.
The voice coder selected must match the voice coders listed in the ip-codec-set for the network
region the MultiVOIP resides in. If only G.729 is listed in the ip-codec-set, select G.729 on the
MultiVOIP. If G.711 is listed before G.729 in the ip-codec-set, select G.711, G.729 on the MultiVOIP.
If G729 is listed before G.711 in the ip-codec-set, select G.729, G.711 on the MultiVOIP.
There is one exception, if only G.711 is listed in the ip-codec-set, you must select G.711, G.729 on
the MultiVOIP. This will allow support for G.711 for CM managed calls, and will allow support for
G.729 for survivable mode calls. The MultiVOIP only supports G.729 in survivable mode.
The table below shows the bandwidth required per voice channel based on the codec selected and
the CM “Frames per Packet” setting in the “Change IP-Codec-Set” screen.

on FXO trunk ports, set the “autocall enable” feature and enter the phone number for a receptionist
or auto-attendent.
3c. The MultiVOIP supports off-hook alerting on FXS ports. To enable the feature, set the “auto
call/off-hook alert” feature to “off-hook alert” and enter the destination number in the “phone
number” field. If the user lifts the handset, but does not dial a number, dial tone will be heard for
10 seconds, followed by intercept tone for the number of seconds configured in the “off-hook alert
timer” field. If this timer expires, a call will automatically be placed to the destination number in
the “phone number” field.
4. Configure the station (FXS) channels in the Communication Manager Parameters screen.
Communication Manager MultiVOIP: FXS Channels
4a. Make sure the “Register with Communication Manager Gatekeeper” option is checked.
4b. Configure Call Signaling Port. This needs to be unique on each registered FXS channel and must
fall within the range of port values supported by Communication Manager. Typically, it is OK to
use the default values 1721-1728 on channels 1-8 respectively.

5b. Configure Call Signaling Port. Unlike station (FXS) ports, which require a unique value for each
channel, trunk (FXO) ports require that the same Call Signaling Port value be used on all trunk
(FXO) ports that are registered to the same Communication Manager PBX. Configure this to a
unique value that is not being used by another station (FXS) or trunk (DID) port on this MultiVOIP
unit. This port value must fall within the range of port values supported by Communication
Manager and should match the “Far-end Listen Port” value configured in the Communication
Manager “Signaling Group” (“Display Signaling Group”) form (dialog box). All FXO ports on this
MultiVOIP will use the same Signaling Group for communication with the CM Server.
Note that several other fields in the Communication Manager “Signaling Group” form (dialog box)
must be set to accommodate operation with the MultiVOIP:
Group Type

5c. Configure Delay before Dial value. This is the delay after the MultiVOIP goes off hook before it
dials a number to the attached PSTN line. Some PSTN lines may require more than the default 400
ms value. Configure as appropriate for the PSTN lines you are using. If you are not sure, leave the
default value in place.
5d. Configure Gateway Name. This should match the value configured for this MultiVOIP unit in the
Communication Manager “IP Node Names” and “Signaling Group” forms.
5e. Configure Primary Gatekeeper IP Address. This must be configured to match the IP address of the
CLAN or PROCR card in the “IP Node Names” form of the primary Communication Manager
Gatekeeper unit. Do not change the RAS Port and leave the Gatekeeper name field blank.
5f. Configure IP addresses for Alternate Gatekeeper1 and Alternate Gatekeeper 2 (optional). These
must be configured to match the IP address of the respective CLAN or PROCR card in the PBX unit
serving as the Alternate Gatekeeper. This field appears in IP Node Names form of the
Communication Manager software for that PBX. If you are using the MultiVOIP Gatekeeper as an
alternate gatekeeper, enter the IP address of the MultiVOIP. The alternate MultiVOIP gatekeeper
must appear after any Communication Manager alternate gatekeepers.

If you are using Avaya IP phones in addition to the MultiVOIP, you must configure the MultiVOIP
gatekeeper to provide survivability for the IP phones and local FXS/FXO/DID ports in the event of
WAN link failure.
7a. In the MultiVOIP’s Gatekeeper |Endpoints screen, add predefined endpoints to the gatekeeper.
One endpoint entry is required for each FXS port or IP phone. Only one entry is required for one or
more FXO ports per MultiVOIP gateway. Only one entry is required for one or more DID ports per
MultiVOIP gateway.
7b. To add an entry for a MultiVOIP FXS port, configure Endpoint Type, Product ID, Names, Phones,
Registration IP, and Security code fields as indicated below. Configure the Names field with a
unique descriptive identifier. The information contained in the Names and Phones fields will be
used for Caller ID purposes in survivable mode. Configure Phones and Security Code to match the
values configured for this station in Communication Manager. The Registration IP should match
the IP address of the MultiVOIP where the FXS port is located. This could be the IP address of this
very same MultiVOIP or another MultiVOIP. Leave the other fields blank. One entry is required for
each MultiVOIP FXS port that is configured to register with Communication Manager. Click OK to
accept this entry. Repeat the above steps to add additional FXS station port entries.
If the autocall feature is being used to route incoming FXO trunk calls to an extension (1000, etc.,) at

The IP phones must be configured to use DHCP and the DHCP server must be located at the same
site as the MultiVOIP and IP phones. This is the only means by which the IP phones are made aware
of alternate gatekeepers, such as the MultiVOIP gatekeeper when the CM is unavailable due to WAN
link failure.

7f. Configure the “Survivable GK Node Name” field with the node name previously given to the
MultiVOIP in the “Node-Names IP” form.
Avaya IP phones running firmware version 2.0 or higher require CM 2.0.1 or higher to work in
survivable mode with the MultiVOIP. When these phones register with the CM, they replace the
list of gatekeepers acquired from the DHCP server (including the MultiVOIP) with a new list of
gatekeepers acquired from CM. This differs from 1.x IP phone firmware where the gatekeeper list
sent to the IP phone from CM was appended to the list of gatekeepers acquired from the DHCP
server. When using CM 2.0.1 or higher, configure the “Survivable GK Node Name” field in the
station form for the IP phone. By doing this, the MultiVOIP will be included in the list of
gatekeepers sent to the IP phone by CM.
Note: IP phone models 4610SW and 4620SW only support 2.0 or higher firmware, therefore these
phones cannot be used with the MultiVOIP unless you are using CM 2.0.1 or higher.

8. Create Outbound Phone Book entries to allow the mapping of digit patterns (area codes, 911 calls, etc)
to FXO trunks during gatekeeper survivable mode.
When a survivable call comes in from the IP network to the MultiVOIP gatekeeper, the MultiVOIP will
search through the Outbound Phone book entries in an attempt to find an entry whose Destination
Pattern matches the first few digits of the destination phone number for the call.
If a match is found, the MultiVOIP will manipulate the digits according to the Remove Prefix and Add
Prefix fields of the Outbound Phone book entry. The call with the manipulated digits will be routed to
the predefined gatekeeper endpoint whose Names entry matches the H.323 ID configured in the
Outbound Phone Book entry. This is the normal sequence for calls to FXO trunks.
If there is no match in the Outbound Phone book, the MultiVOIP gatekeeper will try to find a matching
number in the Phones field of one of the MultiVOIP gatekeeper predefined endpoints. This is the
normal sequence for calls to FXS ports or IP phones.
Suppose the MultiVOIP resides in the 763 exchange of the Minneapolis area with its FXO trunk
connected to PSTN lines. This area has an overlayed area code system where calls to 763, 612, 952, and
651 exchanges are all local calls. In this example, we will add Outbound Phone book entries to allow
calls to phone numbers within these exchanges as well as 911 calling for emergencies.

H.323 Version 4 Parameters
Q.931
Multiplexing
(Mux)
Y/N
Y/N
Signaling for multiple phone calls can be carried on a single port
rather than opening a separate signaling port for each call. This
conserves bandwidth resources.
If “Register with Communication Manager Gatekeeper” is enabled, this
field defaults to “Y” for FXO/DID ports and to “N” for FXS ports
and it cannot be changed.
H.245
Tunneling
(Tun)
H.245 messages are encapsulated within the Q.931 call-signaling
channel. Among other things, the H.245 messages let the two
endpoints tell each other what their technical capabilities are and
determine who, during the call, will be the client and who the server.
Tunneling is the process of transmitting these H.245 messages
through the Q.931 channel. The same TCP/IP socket (or logical port)
already being used for the Call Signaling Channel is then also used
by the H.245 Control Channel. This encapsulation reduces the
number of logical ports (sockets) needed and reduces call setup time.
If “Register with Communication Manager Gatekeeper” is enabled, this
field defaults to “Y” for FXS and FXO ports and cannot be changed.
H.323 Version 4 Parameters
FS (Fast Start or Fast Connect) is a Q.931 feature of H.323v2 to
hasten call setup as well as ‘pre-opening’ the media channel before
the CONNECT message is sent. This pre-opening is a requirement
for certain billing activities. Under Parallel H.245 FS + Tun, this Fast
Connect feature can operate simultaneously with H.245 Tunneling
(see description above).
Parallel H.245
(FS + Tun)
Y/N
If “Register with Communication Manager Gatekeeper” is enabled, this
field defaults to “N” for FXS and FXO ports and cannot be changed.
Multiplexed UDP call signaling transport. Annex E is helpful for
high-volumeVOIP system endpoints. Gateways with lesser volume
can afford to use TCP to establish calls. However, for larger volume
endpoints, the call setup times and system resource usage under
TCP can become problematic. Annex E allows endpoints to perform
call- signaling functions under the UDP protocol, which involves
substantially streamlined overhead. (This feature should not be
used on the public Internet because of potential problems with
security and bandwidth usage.)

Name
AutoCall/Offhook
Alert Parameters
Auto
Call /
Offhook Alert
Alert
AutoCall, The AutoCall option enables the local MultiVOIP to place a call without the user
Offhook
having to dial a number. As soon as you access the local MultiVOIP voice/fax
channel, the MultiVOIP immediately connects to the remote endpoint identified
in the Phone Number box of this option.
If the “Pass Through Enable” field is checked in the Interface Parameters screen,
AutoCall must be used.
The Offhook Alert option applies only to FXS channels.
The Offhook Alert option works like this: if a phone goes offhook and no
number is dialed within a specific period of time (as set in the Offhook Alert
Timer field), then that phone will automatically dial the Alert phone number for
the voip channel. (The Alert phone number must be set in the Voice/Fax
Parameters | Phone Number field). One use of this feature would be for
emergency use where a user goes off hook but does not dial, possibly indicating
a crisis situation. The Offhook Alert feature uses the Intercept Tone, as listed in
the Regional Parameters screen. This tone will be output on the phone that was
taken off hook but that did not dial. The other end of the connection will hear
audio from the “crisis” end as it would during a normal phone call.
Both functions apply on a channel-by-channel basis. It would not be appropriate
for either of these functions to be applied to a channel that serves in a pool of
available channels for general phone traffic.

Used for AutoCall only. If selected, dial tone will be generated locally while the
call is being established between gateways. The capability to generate dial tone
locally would be particularly useful when there is a lengthy network delay.

Dynamic Jitter
Dynamic
Jitter
Buffer
Dynamic Jitter defines a minimum and a maximum jitter value for voice
communications. When receiving voice packets from a remote
MultiVOIP, varying delays between packets may occur due to network
traffic problems. This is called Jitter. To compensate, the MultiVOIP uses
a Dynamic Jitter Buffer. The Jitter Buffer enables the MultiVOIP to wait
for delayed voice packets by automatically adjusting the length of the
Jitter Buffer between configurable minimum and maximum values. An
Optimization Factor adjustment controls how quickly the length of the
Jitter Buffer is increased when jitter increases on the network. The length
of the jitter buffer directly effects the voice delay between MultiVOIP
gateways.

Dynamic Jitter (cont’d)
Description
Minimum
Jitter Value
60 to 400 ms
The minimum dynamic jitter buffer of 60 milliseconds is
the minimum delay that would be acceptable over a low
jitter network.
Default = 150 msec
Maximum
Jitter Value
60 to 400 ms
The maximum dynamic jitter buffer of 400 milliseconds is
the maximum delay tolerable over a high jitter network.
Default = 300 msec
The Optimization Factor determines how quickly the
length of the Dynamic Jitter Buffer is changed based on
actural jitter encountered on the network. Selecting the
minimum value of 0 means low voice delay is desired,
but increases the possibility of jitter induced voice quality
problems. Selecting the maximum value of 12 means
highest voice qauality under jitter conditions is desired at
the cost of increased voice delay.

milli-seconds
The Jitter Value defines the average inter-arrival packet
deviation (in milliseconds) before the call is automatically
disconnected. The default is 300 milliseconds. A higher
value means voice transmission will be more accepting of
jitter. A lower value is less tolerant of jitter.
Inactive by default. When active, default = 300 ms.
However, value must equal or exceed Dynamic
Minimum Jitter Value.
Call Duration 1-65535 seconds
Call Duration defines the maximum length of time (in
seconds) that a call remains connected before the call is
automatically disconnected.
Inactive by default.
When active, default = 180 sec.
This may be too short for most configurations, requiring
upward adjustment.

Chapter 3 – Related MultiVOIP Setup Parameters
The kinds of parameters for which values must be chosen depend on the type of telephony supervisory
signaling or interface used (FXO, E&M, etc.). We present here the various parameters grouped and
organized by interface type.
Note that Interface parameters are applied on a channel-by-channel basis. However, once you have
established a set of Interface parameters for a particular channel, you can apply this entire set of Voice/FAX
parameters to another channel by using the Copy Channel button and its dialog box. To copy a set of
Interface parameters to all channels, select “Copy to All” and click Copy.

For Immediate Start, the voip detects the off-hook condition initiated
by the telco central-office call and becomes ready to receive dial
digits immediately.
For Wink Start, the voip detects the off-hook condition. Then the
voip reverses battery polarity for a specified time (140-290 ms; a
“wink”) and then becomes ready to receive dial digits.
For Delay Dial, the voip detects detects the off-hook condition. Then
the voip reverses battery polarity for a specified time (reverse
polarity duration has wider acceptable range than for Wink Start)
and then becomes ready to receive dial digits.

When an endpoint registers with the gatekeeper, the endpoint is activated. That is, it becomes an
acknowledged participant on the network (or on a particular zone of a network). Registration tells the
gatekeeper that the endpoint is active and ready to receive calls. An endpoint’s registration can be static
(essentially permanent) or dynamic (timed or conditional).

Description
Call Number. Accession number identifying a call in progress.
Cid Sum
The conference ID number (CID) is a unique non-zero value created
by the calling endpoint and passed in various H.225.0 messages. The
CID identifies the conference with which the message is associated.
Therefore, messages from all endpoints participating in the same
conference will have the same CID.
Call ID Sum
The call ID number is a globally unique non-zero value created by the
calling endpoint and passed in various H.225.0 messages. The Call
ID identifies the call with which the message is associated.
Call Model
direct
OR
Indicates whether the call is direct or routed.
For direct-mode calls, the gatekeeper gives each endpoint involved in the call
the destination address of the other and establishes a common call-signaling
channel for them to use during the call. Then the two endpoints conduct the
call without further gatekeeper involvement.
routed
For routed-mode calls, the gatekeeper establishes a connection between the
two endpoints but keeps itself involved in call signaling for the duration of
the call. In routed mode, the gatekeeper keeps a call-signaling channel open
for the entire duration of the call. As a call-management service, the
gatekeeper can change the routing of the call (by line hunting) while the calls
is in progress. If the gatekeeper is to implement supplementary (H.450)
services, it must operate in routed mode.

Alias Giving Y/N
When an endpoint sends an RRQ message, the Gatekeeper uses the
additional aliases that were predefined for the endpoint as online
aliases. This enables the Gatekeeper to assign terminal alias names
through which the terminal can be accessed by others. The following
are two examples of how this option can be used:
• Example of Alias Giving for a Terminal. To make a terminal
accessible by dialing 100, add the alias 100 to the terminal’s predefined
information, and select the Alias Giving option. When the terminal
sends an RRQ message, the 100 alias becomes a dynamic (online) alias,
and all calls to 100 will be directed to the terminal.
• Example of Alias Giving for Gateways. To make all Gateways
supply Service 80, add Service 80 to the Service Table, add the 80 alias
as predefined information to all registered gateways, and select the
Alias Giving option. When the gateways register, they will support
Service 80.

Y/N
Select to cause the Gatekeeper to send a pregrantedARQ permission in
the RCF message for each endpoint that wishes to register. The

Supplier
Y/N
“Y” enables the sending of RAI messages. In a normal scenario, the
gatekeeper will hunt among all the available endpoints that have been
registered using the same tech-prefix. Each endpoint can inform the
gatekeeper about its resource availability using an RAI (Resource
Available Indication) message. Upon receiving an RAI message from
an endpoint, the gatekeeper would consider that endpoint as an Out-of-
Service Supplier. The ‘Almost Out of Resources’ configuration would
allow the gatekeeper to hunt such Out-of-Service Supplier endpoints
for routing the calls.

Call Mode
Direct Mode
Sets the call mode to direct. In this mode, terminals send ARQ messages
to the Gatekeeper, but pass the call signaling and media control
signaling directly between them.
Routed
Mode
Sets the call mode to routed. In this mode, terminals pass admission
requests and call signaling through the Gatekeeper. Media control
information is sent directly between the terminals.
Note: Though direct calls consume fewer Gatekeeper resources, call
control is better for indirect (or routed) calls.

Max
Number of

The maximum number of concurrent calls allowed in the zone. This
number is fixed to 5, 10, or 15 call for MVP210-AV, MVP410-AV, and
MVP810 models respectively.
Max Total
BW (KBps)
The amount of bandwidth in Kbps that call traffic can consume at any
given time.
Registration
TO (hrs)
Registration Timeout. Sets the number of hours of inactivity after
which the dynamic registration of a terminal expires. Only the dynamic
(online) properties will be unregistered. If the endpoint is also static
(predefined), the static properties remain valid.
IRQ Interval
(sec)
The interval, in seconds, between IRQ messages sent by the Gatekeeper. IRQ
messages are sent to all online endpoints registered as dynamic in order to
verify that the endpoints are online. The number you set determines the delay
between two IRQ messages to the same endpoint. Choosing the desired delay
should take into account the following factors:
• IRQ messages add to the traffic already present over the network, and the
shorter the delay, the more IRQ messages are sent. However, the longer the
delay, the longer it takes for the Gatekeeper to detect dynamic registrations
that have ceased to be online.
• The delay parameter relates to the interval between two IRQ messages per
one endpoint, so the actual number of the IRQ messages the Gatekeeper
creates during this interval should be multiplied by the number of
endpoints registered dynamically.
• To disable the IRQ polling, set this value to zero.
• The effective IRQ interval cannot fall below three times the RAS timeout.
• IRQ messages will not be sent at a rate exceeding 20 per second.

Call IRQ
Interval
The interval, in seconds, between IRQ messages sent by the Gatekeeper
to query the status of calls. IRQ messages are sent to all online
endpoints registered as dynamic and having ongoing calls in order to
verify that the calls are still ongoing. The number you set determines
the delay between two IRQ messages to the same endpoint regarding
the same call. Choosing the desired delay should take into account the
following factors:
IRQ messages add to the traffic already present over the network, and
the shorter the delay, the more IRQ messages are sent. However, the
longer the delay, the longer it takes for the Gatekeeper to detect calls
that are stale.
The delay parameter relates to the interval between two IRQ messages
per one call, so the actual number of the IRQ messages the Gatekeeper
creates during this interval should be multiplied by the number of
ongoing calls registered dynamically.
To disable the IRQ polling, set this value to zero.
The effective IRQ interval cannot fall below three times the RAS
timeout.
IRQ messages will not be sent at a rate exceeding 20 per second.
Default
Distance
The “distance” (number device-to-device hops that a call must traverse
between endpoints) allowed for endpoints which are only dynamically
registered, such as an endpoint with no predefined values. This
distance is compared to the distances of the neighbor gatekeepers and
to the multicast distance in order to determine if an LRQ can be sent on
behalf of the requesting endpoint.
NOTE: The neighboring gatekeeper feature is not supported in the current
software version.
Out-of-Zone
Distance
The “distance” (number device-to-device hops that a call must traverse
between endpoints) allowed for an out-of-zone endpoint that is making
a call through the Gatekeeper. This distance is compared to the
distances of the neighbor gatekeepers and to the multicast distance in
order to see if an LRQ can be sent on behalf of the requesting endpoint.
NOTE: The neighboring gatekeeper feature is not supported in the current
software version.
Multicast
Distance
The “distance” (number device-to-device hops that a call must traverse
between endpoints) associated with sending an LRQ by multicast.
NOTE: The neighboring gatekeeper feature is not supported in the current

Gateway Survivability Mode
A customer may wish to have some ports on the MultiVOIP gateway not be managed by CM, but rather
have them directly routed over a private IP WAN to a second MultiVOIP gateway at the side of the WAN
network. An example of this would be to send a T.38 fax call over the private IP WAN network to a fax port
on a second MultiVOIP gateway.
Create phonebook entries for optional gateway survivable mode (if chosen). In this mode, the MultiVOIP
provides survivability to local FXS/FXO ports; IP phones are not supported. If IP phone survivability is
desired, it is recommended that you configure gatekeeper survivability in Section 6 and skip this section.
MultiVOIP Phonebook: A Communication Manager Example
1. An MVP810 (eight-channel) MultiVOIP is used
2. The MultiVOIP’s first six ports are used for analog stations with extensions numbers (6001-6006).
3. The MultiVOIP’s last two ports are used for analog FXO trunks that may be reached by dialing 9
plus the local area codes of “303” or “720”.
4. The IP address of this MVP810 is 204.26.122.1.
5. The incoming PSTN trunk calls from either port #7 or port #8 will use the “AutoCall” feature and
will be routed to the first station port. This port will serve as an “attendant” during survivability.
NOTE. Normally the “AutoCall” register will have the PBX extension of 8001 that will be
forwarded up to the MultiVantage server. But in this example of survivable mode operation, the
8001 will be routed to local station port 6001 with the help of the Outbound Phonebook table.
6. The Q.931 Signaling Port value of each Outbound Phonebook entry must match the Call Signaling
port value configured for the destination voice channel in the Communication Manager Settings
screen. The MultiVOIP’s Outbound PhoneBook will be configured as illustrated in the table below.

Comm Mgr Dialing Example #1: A local station-to-station call
1. The station at FXS port #1 goes off hook and received the survivable dial tone from the MultiVOIP
gateway. The client then proceeds to dial “6002”.
2. The dialed digits are conveyed, per the instructions of the “Outbound Phonebook,” to IP address
204.25.122.1 (which is the self-same MultiVOIP unit).
3. The “Inbound Phonebook” filters on the dialed string “6002” and sees that it is destined for port #2, and
ringing tone is applied to station 6002.
4. When station 6002 answers, the call is completed.
Comm Mgr Dialing Example #2: A local analog station dials outward on the local analog trunk to gain access to the
local central office.
1. The station at FXS port #1 goes off hook and receives the survivable dial tone from the survivable
gateway. The client then proceeds to dial “93035380000”.
2. These dialed digits are forwarded, per the instructions of the “Outbound Phonebook,” to IP address
204.25.122.1 (which is the self-same MultiVOIP unit).
3. The “Inbound Phonebook” filters the dialed digits because it detects the string “9303.” Acting per its
configuration, it removes “9303,” adds “303” and directs that the call be dialed out to either FXO trunk port
#7 or #8. It would have been possible to direct calls with these dialed sequences simply to one port (for
example, to port #7). Because two ports are listed, the gateway will hunt for an available port.
4. The selected trunk port activates its tip/ring loop-start interface and the digit string “3035380000” is
dialed out toward the network.
5. When the called party of 5380000 answers the call, the call is completed.

Remote Configuration
Remote configuration provides procedures for viewing or changing the configuration of a remote MultiVOIP.
Remote configuration requires the MultiVOIP software to be loaded on the local PC. The local PC then controls
the remote MultiVOIP.
To accomplish this, a MT5634ZBA modem is included with your MultiVOIP, except on models MVP130-AV and
MVP130-AV-FXS. Two serial cables are also included, the DB25 male to RJ45 cable is used with the MultiVOIP
(MVP210 model) or the DB25 male to DB25 male (larger connectors) is used with the MultiVOIP (MVP410 and
MVP 810 models).
Note: On some MVP410 and MVP810 models, the modem is built in. On these models, connect the dial-up
line to the RJ11 modular connector labeled Command Modem.
To remotely configure a MultiVOIP, a local PC needs to be connected to a dial-up line and the MultiVOIP
software configured to call the remote MultiVOIP. The remote MultiVOIP needs to have the MT5634ZBA modem
connected to a dial-up line and the Command Port. Once the connection to the remote unit is made, you can
change the configuration as required. Once the configuration is changed, you can download the new
configuration to the remote MultiVOIP.
1. At the remote site, verify that the “Console Messages” in the Configuration Logs dialog box is disabled
before you power down the remote MultiVOIP.
2. At the remote site, remove the serial cable from the PC to the Command Port connector on the back panel
of the MultiVOIP.
3. At the remote site, connect one of the serial cables provided from the Command Port connector on the
back panel of the MultiVOIP to the RS-232 connector on the modem.
3a. Connect the modem to your local telephone line.
3b. Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your configuration.
3c. Power On the modem first to allow it to initialize. Then power On the MultiVOIP.
4. At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is connected to a dial-up line.
5. Install the MultiVOIP software on the local PC. When installed, click Start|Programs|MultiVOIP
9.06.XX|Configuration Port Setup.
6. The Comm Port Setup dialog box displays.
Verify that the Select Port box is set for the COM port of your local PC and that the Baud Rate is set to
115200.
In Modem Setup, the modem Initialization String, Initialization Response, and Connect Response should
be configured as shown in the above dialog box.

Chapter 4 – Miscellaneous
Note: It is possible for the hardware revision printed on the packaging label and PCB (printed circuit
board) to be higher than what is displayed in the Hardware ID field in the System Information screen. In
these cases, the features supported are the same as listed for the displayed Hardware ID above.
For example, a MVP810-AV may have Revision C printed on the packaging label and PCB, but display
“MVP810-AV Rev B” in System Information. This means no new features were added in Rev C and it
supports the same features as the Rev B (FXS/FXO/DID).

Link Management
The Link Management screen allows you to ping a remote system by entering the IP address of the remote unit in the IP
Address to Ping field. The Link Status window displays the results of the ping.
Each ping test sends a user configurable number of pings to the remote unit. Configure the Time Interval
between Tests field to the number of minutes (0-30) to wait between each ping test. If this field is set to 0, only one
ping test is performed. The Ping Size in Bytes and Response Timeout values can be changed to accommodate
various packet sizes or network delay conditions. The results are displayed under Link Status and consist of IP
Address, No of Pings Sent, No of Pings Received, Round Trip Delay (Min/Max/Avg), and last Error. You can
compare the number of pings sent/received and Round Trip Delay to determine the condition of the network
between the two units. Ping tests are discontinued when you exit the Link Management screen.

Feature Issues
1. Calling Party Number is not displayed on the Caller ID for FXS ports after receiving a call via CM. This
is due to CM not sending the Calling Party Number to the MultiVOIP as part of the Q.931 setup
message.
2. “Unknown Name” is displayed on the Caller ID for FXS ports after receiving a call from a MultiVOIP
FXO port that was routed by CM. This is due to CM sending “Unknown Name” in the Display field of
the Q.931 setup message instead of the actual Caller ID Name received by the MultiVOIP FXO port.
