Name Values Description
Alternate
IP
Address n.n.n.n
where
n= 0-255 Alternate destination for outbound data traffic in
case of excessive delay in data transmission.
Round
Trip
Delay milliseconds The Round Trip Delay is the criterion for judging
when a data pathway is considered blocked. When
the delay exceeds the threshold specified here, the
data stream will be diverted to the alternate
destination specified as the Alternate IP Address.
The Alternate Routing function facilitates PSTN Failover protection, that is, it allows
you to re-route voip calls automatically over the PSTN if the voip system fails. The
MultiVOIP can be programmed to respond to excessive delays in the transmission of
voice packets, which the MultiVOIP interprets as a failure of the IP network. Upon
detecting an excessive delay in transmission of voice packets (overly high “latency”
in the network) the MultiVOIP diverts the call to another IP address, which itself is
connected to the PSTN (for example, via an FXO port on the self-same MultiVOIP
could be connected to the PSTN).
