The Command/Control Computer (Specs & Settings)
The computer used for command and control of the MultiVOIP
(a) must be an IBM-compatible PC,
(b) must use a Microsoft operating system,
(c) must be connected to your local network (Ethernet) system, and
(d) must have an available serial COM port.
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.
