Functional Equivalence of Interfaces. The TalkAnytime configuration program is required to do the initial
configuration (that is, setting an IP address for the TalkAnytime unit) so that the TalkAnytime unit can
communicate with the web browser GUI. Management of the VOIP after that point can be done from either
the Windows GUI or from the web GUI.
WARNING: Do not attempt to interface the TalkAnytime unit with two control programs
Local Configuration
This manual primarily describes local configuration with the Windows GUI. After IP addresses have been
set locally using the Windows GUI, most aspects of configuration (logging functions are an exception) can
be handled through the web browser GUI, as well (see the Operation and Maintenance chapter of this
manual). In most aspects of configuration, the Windows GUI and web-browser GUI differ only graphically,
not functionally.
Pre-Requisites
Before configuring your TalkAnytime Gateway unit, you must know the values for several IP and
telephone parameters that describe the IP network system and telephony system (PBX or telco central office
equipment) with which the digital TalkAnytime will interact. If you plan to receive log reports on phone
traffic by email (SMTP), you must arrange to have an email address assigned to the TalkAnytime unit on
the email server on your IP network. A summary of this configuration information appears on page 34
("Config Info CheckList").
IP Parameters
The following parameters must be known about the network (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.) to which the
MultiVOIP will connect:

screen in the Configuration section of the TalkAnytime software.

simultaneously (that is, by accessing the TalkAnytime configuration program via the
Command Port and the web browser interface via the Ethernet Port). The results of
using two programs to control a single TalkAnytime simultaneously would be
unpredictable.
To complete the configuration of the
TalkAnytime unit, you must know
several things about the overall system.
