Chapter 6—Using the Software
MultiVOIP® Voice/Fax over IP Gateways 141
The primary advantage of the web interface is remote access for control and configuration. The controller PC
and the MultiVOIP unit itself must both be connected to the same IP network and their IP addresses must be
known.
To use the web interface, go to the Multi-Tech ftp site and download the version of the Java Runtime
Environment that works with the current release of the MultiVOIP units. Links to the JRE follow:
Java 6 update 11 Windows 32bit ftp://ftp.multitech.com/multivoip/java/jre-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe
Java 6 update 11 Windows 64bit ftp://ftp.multitech.com/multivoip/java/jre-6u11-windows-x64.exe
After the Java program is installed, you can access the MultiVOIP using the web browser interface.
1. Start the web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of the MultiVOIP unit.
3. Enter a password when prompted. A password is needed only if a password is set for the local Windows
interface or for the MultiVOIP’s FTP Server function. See “Setting a Password -- Web Browser interface”
earlier in this chapter.
The web browser interface offers essentially the same control over the VOIP as the Windows interface. Note the
following:
● Logging functions cannot be handled through the web interface.
● Network communication is slower than direct communications over a serial PC cable. As such, command
execution is slower over the web browser interface than over the Windows interface.
