Chapter 5 - Remote Configuration and Management

Remote Management

This section describes typical client applications that can be used to configure the MultiVOIP remotely. It is important to note that although any subsequent changes to configuration can be made using these applications, the initial setup and configuration of the MultiVOIP must be done on the local PC, using the MultiVOIP software provided with your unit.

Although establishing access to the MultiVOIP varies between applications, the configuration functions mirror those of the MultiVOIP software. For more information on MultiVOIP software, refer to Chapter 4 - MultiVOIP Software.

Telnet

A typical Telnet client application is described next. The MultiVOIP has a built-in Telnet Server that enables Telnet client PCs to access the MultiVOIP. A typical Telnet client is allowed to configure the MultiVOIP. In addition, the MultiVOIP can be remotely accessed and configured from any where on the Internet through its Web interface. A typical TCP/IP program group is shown below with a Tcpman icon and a Telnet icon.

The TCP/IP stack has to be loaded before the Telnet client (a Windows application) will run. The Telnet Server option has to be selected from the Applications Setup dialog box using the MultiVOIP Configuration icon. Double click on the Telnet icon (or shortcut) and a blank Telnet screen displays. Click Connect Remote System and the Connect dialog box displays. Select (or enter) a Host Name (the IP address of the MultiVOIP). In this example, the Host Name is 192.168.2.8.

When you enter a valid Host Name (IP address) and click Connect, you are immediately connected to the target MultiVOIP and the MultiVOIP Telnet Server window displays.

MultiVOIP Telnet Server Menu

The MultiVOIP Telnet Server menu provides three basic options: Voice over IP Configuration, Phone Directory Database, and Phone Directory Configuration. A further option enables you to close the Telnet session.
