Chapter 3 – Software Installation

Introduction

Configuring software for your MultiVOIP GSM entails three tasks:

Loading the software onto the PC (this is “Software Installation” and is discussed in this chapter).

Setting values for telephony and IP parameters that will fit your system (details are in Chapter 4).

Establishing “phonebooks” that contain the various dialing patterns for VOIP calls made to different locations (a detailed discussion of this is found in Chapter 5).
