MultiVOIP 200 User Guide

Introduction

This chapter provides procedures for viewing or changing the configuration of a remote unit. Two
methods are provided to access a remote unit; the first method is modem based and the second
method uses IP. Within the IP method, three applications can be used: 1) LAN-Based using TFTP
(Trivial File Transfer Protocol), 2) Telnet as a client application, or 3) a standard web browser on the
Internet.

Remote Configuration

Remote configuration requires the MultiVOIP 200 software to be loaded on the local PC. The local
PC then controls the remote MultiVOIP 200 either via the modem connection or the LAN.

Modem-Based

To remotely configure a MultiVOIP 200, a local PC needs to be connected to a dial-up line and the
MultiVOIP 200 software configured to call the remote MultiVOIP 200. The remote MultiVOIP 200
needs to have a modem connected to a dial-up line and the Command Port. Once the connection to
the remote unit is made, you can change the configuration as required. Once the configuration is
changed, you can download the new configuration to the remote MultiVOIP 200. Refer to the Modem-
Based Remote Configuration Procedure in this chapter to remotely configure a MultiVOIP 200.
1. At the remote site, remove the serial cable from the PC to the Command Port connector on the
back panel of the MultiVOIP 200.
2. At the remote site, connect a special cable (Remote Configuration Cable) from the Command
Port connector on the back panel of the MultiVOIP 200 to the RS-232 connector on the modem.
The special cable is a serial cable with male connectors on both ends. Refer to
cable details.
Connect the modem to your local telephone line.
Provide your telephone number to the person verifying your configuration.
Configure the remote modem for 19200 baud and turn on Force DTR.
3. At the main site, connect your local PC to a modem that is connected to a dial-up line.
4. Install the MultiVOIP 200 software on the local PC. When installed, click Start | Programs |
