Initially, you must use the local Windows interface to assign the VOIP unit an IP address. Later, you can use the
web interface to configure anything else.
The content and organization of the web interface is similar to the Windows interface. For each window in the
Windows interface, there is a corresponding page in the web interface. The fields on each window are the same,
as well.
The Windows interface gives access to commands using icons and pull-down menus. 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).
