Chapter 4 - MultiVOIP Software

Introduction

This chapter describes the MultiVOIP software to show you how to make changes to the configuration of your MultiVOIP. The major configuration parameters were established during the loading of the software (Chapter 3), and the MultiVOIP software and configuration utilities allow you to make changes to that initial configuration.

The MultiVOIP software allows you to refine your configuration based on your network connections. The software is based on a main menu (MultiVOIP Configuration) that allows you to consider all the parameters for a particular feature (for example, voice channels and phone book). These features, along with others are discussed in detail in the MultiVOIP Configuration section later in this chapter.

The other seven configuration utilities in the MultiVOIP 800 software provide additional functionality. The Configuration port setup utility enables you to change the method by which you access the MultiVOIP (through a direct connection of a PC to the Command Port on the MultiVOIP, or via your Internet or LAN connection to the LAN port on the MultiVOIP). The Date and Time setup utility enables you to easily set the date and time used for data logging in the MultiVOIP. Download Factory Defaults enables you to return the configuration to the original factory settings. Download Firmware enables you to download new versions of firmware as enhancements become available. Download User Defaults enables you to repeat the download factory defaults process (part of software installation) and update the MultiVOIP configuration with any necessary changes. Download Voice Coders enables you to download voice coders to the MultiVOIP after repair or upgrade. The Uninstall MultiVOIP Configuration utility removes most of the MultiVOIP 800 software from your PC. The UpGrade Software downloads boot code, factory defaults, firmware and voice coders in an automated process.
