MultiVOIP User Guide Technical Configuration (Digital Voips)

unit: (1) using the MultiVoipManager SNMP program, or (2) using the
MultiVOIP web browser interface program.
MultiVoipManager. MultiVoipManager is an SNMP agent program (Simple
Network Management Protocol) that extends the capabilities of the MultiVOIP
configuration program: MultiVoipManager allows the user to manage any
number of VOIPs on a network, whereas the MultiVOIP configuration
program can manage only the VOIP to which it is directly/locally connected.
The MultiVoipManager can configure multiple VOIPs simultaneously,
whereas the MultiVOIP configuration program can configure only one at a
time.
MultiVoipManager may (but does not need to) reside on the same PC as the
MultiVOIP configuration program. The MultiVoipManager program is on the
MultiVOIP Product CD. Updates, when applicable, may be posted at on the
MultiTech FTP site. To download, go to ftp://ftp.multitech.com/MultiVoip/.
Web Browser Interface. The MultiVOIP web browser GUI gives access to
the same commands and configuration parameters as are available in the
MultiVOIP Windows GUI except for logging functions. When using the web
browser GUI, logging can be done by email (the SMTP option).
Functional Equivalence of Interfaces. The MultiVOIP configuration
program is required to do the initial configuration (that is, setting an IP address
for the MultiVOIP unit) so that the VOIP unit can communicate with the
MultiVoipManager program or with the web browser GUI. Management of
the VOIP after that point can be done from any of these three programs since
they all offer essentially the same functionality. Functionally, either the
MultiVoipManager program or the web browser GUI can replace the
MultiVOIP configuration program after the initial configuration is complete
(with minor exceptions, as noted).
WARNING: Do not attempt to interface the MultiVOIP unit with two
control programs simultaneously (that is, by accessing the
MultiVOIP configuration program via the Command Port
and either the MultiVoipManager program or the web
browser interface via the Ethernet Port). The results of
using two programs to control a single VOIP
simultaneously would be unpredictable.
