Figure 6-42: Web interface expanded
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 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 product CD. Java is needed to support drop-down menus and
multiple windows in the web interface.
To install the Java program, click on the Install Java button from the main window of your MultiVOIP product CD,
or go to the Java directory on the product CD and double-click on the .EXE file to begin the installation. Follow
the instructions on the Install Shield screens.
The following screens are representative of the installation, but do not exactly match the current version that will
install on your PC.
