Command/Control Computer Setup (Specs & Settings)
The computer used for command and control of the MultiVOIP
(a) any reasonably modern PC,
(b) must have an up-to-date version of Java installed (v. 1.5 or higher),
(c) must have an up-to-date web browser installed (at this writing, up-to-date browsers would include
Internet Explorer 6.0(+), Netscape 6.0(+), or Mozilla FireFox 1.0(+).),
(d) must have IP access to the MultiVOIP, and
(e) optionally, have an available serial COM port for a console connection to the MultiVOIP.
The configuration tasks and control tasks the PC will have to do with the MultiVOIP are not especially
demanding. Still, we recommend using a reasonably new computer. The computer that you use to
configure your MultiVOIP need not be dedicated to the MultiVOIP after installation is complete.
COM port on controller PC. If you choose to use the MultiVOIP’s Console connection, you will need an
available COM port on the controller PC. You’ll need to know which COM port is available for use with
the MultiVOIP (COM1, COM2, etc.).
Placement
Mount your MultiVOIP in a safe and convenient location where cables for your network and phone system
are accessible. Rack-mounting instructions are in Chapter 3: Mechanical Installation & Cabling.
