The Windows interface gives access to commands via icons and pull-down menus whereas the web interface
does not. The web interface, however, cannot perform logging in the same direct mode done in the Windows
interface. However, when the web interface is used, logging can be done by email (SMTP).
The graphic layout of the web interface is also somewhat larger-scale than that of the Windows interface. For
that reason, it’s helpful to use as large of a video monitor as possible.
The primary advantage of the web interface is remote access for control and configuration. The controller PC
and the MultiVOIP GSM unit itself must both be connected to the same IP network and their IP addresses must
be known.
In order to use the web interface, you must also install a Java application program on the controller PC. This
Java program is included on the MultiVOIP GSM product CD. Java is needed to support drop-down menus and
multiple windows in the web interface.
To install the Java program, go to the Java directory on the MultiVOIP GSM product CD. Double-click on the .EXE
file to begin the installation. Follow the instructions on the Install Shield screens.
