Remote Management

This section describes typical client applications that can be used to configure the MultiVOIP 400/800 remotely. It is important to note that although any subsequent changes to configuration can be made using these applications, the initial setup and configuration of the MultiVOIP 400/800 must be done on the local PC using the MultiVOIP 400/800 software provided with your unit.

Although establishing access to the MultiVOIP 400/800 varies between applications, the configuration functions mirror those of the MultiVOIP 400/800 software. For more information on MultiVOIP 400/

800 software, refer to Chapter 4 - MultiVOIP 400/800 Software .

Telnet

A typical Telnet client application is described next. The MultiVOIP 400/800 has a built-in Telnet

Server that enables Telnet client PCs to access the MultiVOIP 400/800. A typical Telnet client is allowed to configure the MultiVOIP 400/800. In addition, the MultiVOIP 400/800 can be remotely accessed and configured from anywhere on the Internet through its Web interface.

The TCP/IP stack has to be loaded before the Telnet client (a Windows application) will run. The

Telnet Server option has to be selected from the Applications Setup dialog box using the MultiVOIP

400/800 Configuration icon. Double click the Telnet icon (or shortcut) and a blank Telnet screen is displayed. Click Connect | Remote System and the Connect dialog box is displayed. Select from the drop-down list (or enter) a Host Name (the IP address of the MultiVOIP 400/800). In this example, the Host Name is 192.168.2.8. Then select telnet from the Port drop-down list and vt100 from the Term Type drop-down list.

Once you have entered a valid Host Name (IP address), Port, and Term Type, click the Connect button to be connected to the target MultiVOIP. The MultiVOIP Telnet Server screen is displayed.
