TalkAnytime User Guide
Introduction
Configuring software for your TalkAnytime unit entails four tasks:
(1) loading the software onto the command PC (this is "Software Installation and is discussed in this
chapter),
(2) setting values for telephony and IP parameters that will fit your system (this is "Technical
Configuration" and it is discussed in Chapter 5),
(3) establishing a "phonebook" that contains routing instructions and corresponding dialing patterns for
TalkAnytime calls (this is "Phonebook Configuration" and it is discussed in Chapter 6, and
(4) establishing a TalkAnytime URL that includes the IP address at which the TalkAnytime will operate, as
well as several operating parameters and setting up a link to this URL on the organization's website (this is
"URL Configuration" and it is discussed in Chapter 6).
Loading MultiVOIP Software onto the PC
The software loading procedure does not present every screen or option in the loading process. It is
assumed that someone with a thorough knowledge of Windows and the software loading process is
performing the installation.
The TalkAnytime software and User Guide are contained on the TalkAnytime product CD. Because the CD
is auto-detectable, it will start up automatically when you insert it into your CD-ROM drive. When you
have finished loading your TalkAnytime software, you can view and print the User Guide by clicking on
the View Manuals icon.
1. Be sure that your TalkAnytime unit has been properly cabled and that the power is turned on.
2. Insert the TalkAnytime CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD should start automatically. It may take 10
to 20 seconds for the Multi-Tech CD installation window to display.
If the Multi-Tech Installation CD window does not display automatically, click My Computer, then right
click the CD ROM drive icon, click Open, and then click the Autorun icon.
