MultiVOIP User Guide
Introduction
This chapter describes the MultiVOIP software with the intent 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 (e.g., 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 six configuration utilities offer additional functionality. Download User Defaults utility allows
you download your default settings, configured during the loading of the software. If you have made
changes to your configuration and wish to revert to the default setup, you can do so through this
utility. Download Factory Defaults utility allows you to sequence through the software loading
sequence and change any previous installation parameters. Download Firmware allows you to
download new versions of firmware when enhancements become available. The Configuration Port
Setup utility allows you to change the method by which you access the MultiVOIP (i.e., direct
connection of a PC to the Command Port on the MultiVOIP, or via your Internet connection to the
LAN port on the MultiVOIP). The Download Voice Coders utility allows you to download voice
decoders which may also be necessary during repair or upgrade. The Uninstall MultiVOIP
Configuration utility is designed to remove the software from your PC.
Your MultiVOIP software includes the MultiVOIP Help system. The Help menus define each button,
option, field, and recommend values where applicable. The Help menus are a dynamic help system
which provides information corresponding to the active dialog box.
