Preliminaries & Info Gathering MultiVOIP FXS Quick Start Guide
14
This chapter contains streamlined instructions to get the MultiVOIP up and running quickly. These start-
up instructions include assistance on setting up the MultiVOIP’s Inbound and Outbound Phonebooks.
These sections of the Quick Start Guide may be particularly useful for phonebook configuration:
Phonebook Starter Configuration
Phonebook Tips
Phonebook Example (One Common Situation)
The Quick Start Guide also contains a “Phonebook Worksheet” section. You may want to print out several
worksheet copies. Paper copies can be very helpful in comparing phonebooks at multiple sites at a glance.
This will assist you in making the phonebooks clear and consistent and will reduce ‘surfing’ between
screens on the configuration program.
A printed Cabling Guide is shipped with the MultiVOIP and an electronic copy is included on the Product
CD.

routed. To get the system running quickly, you’ll make
phonebooks for just two voip sites.
