Parameters screen is applicable when the VOIP administrator has

be reached by pulldown menu, keyboard shortcut, or sidebar.

MultiVOIP as Email Sender. When SMTP is used, the MultiVOIP will
actually be given its own email account (with Login Name and
Password) on some mail server connected to the IP network. Using this
account, the MultiVOIP will then send out email messages containing
log report information. The “Recipient” of the log report email is
ordinarily the VoIP administrator. Because the MultiVOIP cannot
receive email, a “Reply-To” address must also be set up. Ordinarily,
the “Reply-To” address is that of a technician who has access to the
mail server or MultiVOIP or both, and the VoIP administrator might
also be designated as the “Reply-To” party. The main function of the
Reply-To address is to receive error or failure messages regarding the
emailed reports.
