Introduction
Welcome to Multi-Tech’s new MultiVOIP™ Gatekeeper, Model MVP100GK, a
turnkey hardware and software solution that enables network managers and
intranet managers to define and control how H.323 voice traffic is managed
over IP networks. The Gatekeeper is a complementary product to the
MultiVOIP family. The Gatekeeper is an industry-standard mechanism for call
control and routing, basic telephony services, H.323 bandwidth usage control,
total network usage control, and overall system administration and security
policies. It includes fast, easy-to-use interfaces that network managers can
use to modify or update zone configurations when an individual on the
network needs additional services. And, it provides call centers with the
capability to perform needs-based call routing as well as providing a variety of
other automatic call distribution features.
Figure. Gatekeeper
Gatekeeper facilitates interoperability between PBX dial plans and IP-based
terminals. With it, call centers can route calls on the basis of need and
implement other automatic call distribution features, as well.
Gatekeeper Basics
Gatekeepers are optional within H.323 networks. However, when they are
present, gateways (voip units) and other network endpoint devices (like
terminals and Multipoint Control Units used in conferences) must use
Gatekeeper services. There are four functions that H.323 Gatekeepers must
provide to the network and many other functions, both standard and
proprietary, that the Gatekeeper may offer to network participants.

SafetyWarnings
Lithium Battery Caution
A lithium battery on the voice/fax channel board provides backup power for
the timekeeping capability. The battery has an estimated life expectancy of
ten years.
When the battery starts to weaken, the date and time may be incorrect. If the
battery fails, the board must be sent back to Multi-Tech Systems for battery
replacement.
Warning: There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced.
SafetyWarningsTelecom
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install a telephone jack in wet locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for wet locations.
3. This product is to be used with UL and cUL listed computers.
4. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone
line has been disconnected at the network interface.
5. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
6. Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electrical shock from lightning.
7. Do not use a telephone in the vicinity of a gas leak.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger telecommunication
line cord.

Safety Recommendations for Rack Installations
•Ensure proper installation of the Gatekeeper in a closed or multi-unit
enclosure by following the recommended installation as defined by the
enclosure manufacturer. Do not place the Gatekeeper directly on top of
other equipment or place other equipment directly on top of the
Gatekeeper.
•If installing the Gatekeeper in a closed or multi-unit enclosure, ensure
adequate airflow within the rack so that the maximum recommended
ambient temperature is not exceeded.
•Ensure that the Gatekeeper is properly connected to earth ground via a
grounded power cord. If a power strip is used, ensure that the power strip
provides adequate grounding of the attached apparatus.
•Ensure that the main supply circuit is capable of handling the load of the
Gatekeeper. Refer to the power label on the equipment for load
requirements.
•Maximum ambient temperature for the Gatekeeper is 40 degrees Celsius
(104°F).
This equipment should only be installed by properly qualified service
personnel.
•Connect like circuits. In other words, connect SELV (Secondary Extra
Low Voltage) circuits to SELV circuits and TN (Telecommunications
Network) circuits to TN circuits.

Gatekeeper StartupTasks
Task Summary
●Collecting Phone/IP
Details ( vital! )The Gatekeeper must be configured to
interface with your particular voip
network. To do so, certain details must
be known about each MultiVOIP that
uses the services of the Gatekeeper.
●Placement Decide where you’ll mount the unit.
●Command/Control
Computer Setup:
Specs & Settings
Some modest minimum specifications
must be met. A COM port must be set
up.
●Hookup Connect power, network, and
command port cables per diagram.
●Software Installation This is the configuration program.
It’s a standard Windows software
installation.
●Phone/IP Starter
Configuration You will enter phone numbers and IP
addresses. You’ll use default parameter
values where possible to get the system
running quickly.
●Phonebook Starter
Configuration The phonebook is where you specify
how calls will be routed.

Unpacking
Check the items on the Gatekeeper shipping list to ensure that you have
received the correct options and accessories. Unpack the unit and inspect it
for visible shipping damage. If damage is observed, do not power-on the unit;
contact Multi-Tech's Tech Support for advice. If no damage is observed, place
the Gatekeeper in its final location.
Cabling
Cabling your Gatekeeper entails making the proper connections for power,
command port, and Ethernet network. The below figure shows the back
panel connectors and the associated cable connections. The following
procedure details the steps necessary for cabling your Gatekeeper.
1. Connect the power cord to a live AC outlet, then connect it to the
Gatekeeper’s power receptacle shown at top right in below figure.
2. Connect the Gatekeeper to the PC (the computer that will hold the
Gatekeeper software) using the RJ-45 to DB9 (female) cable provided
with your unit. Plug the RJ-45 end of the cable into the Command port
of the Gatekeeper and connect the other end (the DB9 connector) to
the PC serial port you are using (typically COM1 or COM2).
3. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet connector on the back of the
Gatekeeper. Connect the other end of the cable to your network.

4. If you intend to configure the Gatekeeper remotely using the
Gatekeeper Windows GUI, connect an RJ-11 phone cable between the
Command Modem connector (at the rear of the Gatekeeper) and a
receptacle served by a telco POTS line. See below figure.
The Command Modem is built into the Gatekeeper unit. To configure the
Gatekeeper remotely using its Windows GUI, you must call into the
Gatekeeper’s Command Modem. Once a connection is made, the
configuration process is identical to local configuration with the Windows
GUI.
Figure. GND & Remote Config Modem Connections
5. Ensure that the unit is properly connected to earth ground by verifying
that it is reliably grounded when mounted within a rack.
This can be accomplished by connecting a grounding wire between the
chassis grounding screw (see above figure) and a metallic object that
will provide an electrical ground.
6. Turn on power to the Gatekeeper by setting the power switch on the
right side panel to the ON position. Wait for the Boot LED on the
Gatekeeper to go off before proceeding. This may take a couple of
minutes.
Proceed to Loading Gatekeeper Software section.
Loading Software

Loading Gatekeeper Software
The software loading procedure does not present every screen or option in
the loading process. It is assumed that someone with a thorough knowledge
of Windows and the software loading process is performing the installation.
The MultiVOIP Gatekeeper software and User Guide are contained on the
Gatekeeper product CD. Because the CD is auto-detectable, it will start up
automatically when you insert it into your CD-ROM drive. When you have
finished loading your Gatekeeper software, you can view and print the User
Guide by clicking on the View Manuals icon.
1. Be sure that your Gatekeeper has been properly cabled and that the
power is turned on.
2. Insert the Gatekeeper CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD should
start automatically. It may take 10 to 20 seconds for the MultiVOIP
Gatekeeper MVP100GK AutoRun screen to display.
If the AutoRun screen does not display automatically, click My
Computer, then right click the CD ROM drive icon, click Open, and
then click the Autorun icon.
3. When the AutoRun screen appears, click the Install Software icon.
