Chapter 4: Configuring your VOIP

How to Navigate Through the Software

The MultiVOIP software is launched from the Start button and is found in the All Programs area under the title of MultiVOIP x.xx (where x represents version number). The top option is “Configuration” – choose this.

Within the software, there are several ways to arrive at the parameter that you want to use: through the left-hand panel, from the drop-down menu, clicking a taskbar icon (if available) or a keyboard shortcut (if available). Once the initial settings are entered, you may choose to configure the MultiVOIP through a Web browser instead.

Web Browser Interface

The MultiVOIP web browser interface gives access to the same commands and configuration parameters as are available in the MultiVOIP Windows interface except for logging functions. When using the web browser interface, logging can be done by email (the SMTP option).

Set up the Web Browser interface (Optional). After an IP address for the MultiVOIP unit has been established, you can choose to configure the unit by using the MultiVOIP web browser interface. If you want to do configuration work using the web browser interface, you must first set it up:

•Set IP address of MultiVOIP unit using the MultiVOIP Configuration program (the Windows interface).

•Save Setup in Windows interface.

•Close Windows interface.

•Install Java program from MultiVOIP product CD (on first use only).

•Open web browser.

•Browse to IP address of MultiVOIP unit.

•If username and password have been established, enter them when prompted.

•Set browser to allow pop-ups. The MultiVOIP Web interface makes use of pop-up windows.

•The configuration screens in the web browser will have the same content as their counterparts in the software; only the presentation differs.
