Portech MV374 has been tested for Voice using firmware version “Mobile VoIP4 s10.115”. This guide and template may not work for earlier or later versions of the firmware!

Configuration is a 2 step process. First you need to configure 3CX Phone System for use Portech MV374. Then, you need to configure Portech MV374 to register and communicate with 3CX Phone System.

Step 1: Configuring 3CX Phone System

  • In the 3CX Management Console, click on the “Add PSTN” link on the left-hand side
  • In the “Name” field, assign a name to this device; e.g. “Portech MV374”
  • In the “Brand” field, select “Portech”
  • In the “Model” field, select “MV374”, and click Next
  • In the “VoIP Gateway Details” page you will need to insert the IP address of the device (in this example 10.0.0.37), and the port number (default is 5064). Click Next.
  • In the Create Ports page, the port information is pre-populated, and the suggested values should work well in most scenarios. You may still want to review these settings and amend as needed. In particular, the “Port Identification” field may be set to the number of the line provided by the telephone company for that line. Click on the “Next >” button when finished
  • The “Create Outbound Rule” page will allow you to quickly create a rule with which to deliver calls through this device. Specify a prefix for the rule to identify outbound calls. Click on the “Finish” button when ready, or click on the “Skip” button if you do not wish to create an outbound rule for this device at this stage
  • The “Gateway Created” summary page will list the settings you will require to configure the device. It is recommended that you do not browse away from this page before you configure the Portech gateway

Step 2: Configuring Portech MV374
