Chapter 8: Magnum Router Specialized Functions
___________________________________________________________________
8-5
There is an MVoIP sample in chapter 9 that will assist in clarifying the programming
requirements and steps.
VoIP Types
In previous versions of the GUI manager, there was no way to differentiate what type of
connection was being input as all connection types were the same. With the introduction of
Dynamic VoIP, there are now multiple VoIP connection types.
VoIP Type: Normal
The connection type used for an MVoIP connection (one that does not utilize Dynamic VoIP) is
called Normal. This connection type is explained at the beginning of this section.
If the revision of the Magnum Router being accessed is not revision E, then the VoIP
Type defaults to Normal and cannot be changed.
Dynamic Voice over IP (DVoIP)
DVoIP adds a new dimension to the VoIP type connections. The Magnum Router now has the
ability to work through NAT’ed or PAT’ed public IP addresses via an external router or network
gateway.
To program a Dynamic VoIP connection, there must be one Dynamic Host entry and one
Dynamic remote entry per connection. The Dynamic Host side still needs a fixed static IP
address for Dynamic Remote to connect to, but the Dynamic Remote does not require any
public IP addresses as it can now run behind an internet router.
A Magnum Router can be a Dynamic Host, Dynamic Remote and Normal MVoIP all within the
same configuration, assuming that the user needs to support all three connection types.
It is important to note that Dynamic VoIP connections cannot connect to Normal VoIP
connections. Dynamic VoIP only connects to Dynamic VoIP and Normal VoIP only connects
to Normal VoIP.
