The VoIP will only accept files of this name. This is a safety precaution to prevent the wrong files from being uploaded to the VoIP. Once the primer file has been uploaded, upload the FTP firmware file. If you accepted the defaults during the software loading process, this file is located on your local drive at C:\Program Files\Multi-Tech Systems\MultiVOIP 4.08 where the X is the software number and the .08 is the version number of the MultiVOIP software on your local drive. Of course the firmware file is named ‘mvpt1ftp.bin’. Important: You cannot go back to 4.04 or earlier versions using FTP. You must use ‘upgradesoftware’ via the serial port. Important: These ftp upgrade instructions do not apply to software release 4.05 and above. 323 Operation and Maintenance MultiVOIP User Guide FTP Server File Transfers (“Downloads”) MultiTech has built an FTP server into the MultiVOIP unit. Therefore, file transfers from the controller PC to the voip unit can be done using an FTP client program or even using a browser (e.g., Internet Explorer, Netscape or FireFox, used in conjunction with Windows Explorer). The terminology of “downloads” and “uploads” gets a bit confusing in this context. File transfers from a client to a server are typically considered “uploads.” File transfers from a large repository of data to machines with less data capacity are considered “downloads.” In this case, these metaphors are contradictory: the FTP server is actually housed in the MultiVOIP unit, and the controller PC, which is actually the repository of the info to be transferred, uses an FTP client program. In this situation, we have chosen to call the transfer of files from the PC to the voip “downloads.” (Be aware that some FTP client programs may use the opposite terminology, i.e., they may refer to the file transfer as an “upload “) You can download firmware, CAS telephony protocols, default configuration parameters, and phonebook data for the MultiVOIP unit with this FTP functionality. These downloads are done over a network, not by a local serial port connection. Consequently, voips at distant locations can be updated from a central control point. The phonebook downloading feature greatly reduces the data-entry required to establish inbound and outbound phonebooks for the voip units within a system. Although each MultiVOIP unit will require some unique phonebook entries, most will be common to the entire voip system. After the phonebooks for the first few voip units have been compiled, phonebooks for additional voips become much simpler: you copy the common material by downloading and then do data entry for the few phonebook items that are unique to that particular voip unit or voip site. 324 MultiVOIP User Guide Operation & Maintenance To transfer files using the FTP server functionality in the MultiVOIP, follow these directions. 1. Establish Network Connection and IP Addresses. Both the controller PC and the MultiVOIP unit(s) must be connected to the same IP network. An IP address must be assigned for each. IP Address of Control PC ____ . ____ . ____ . ____ IP Address of voip unit #1 ____ . ____ . ____ . ____ : : : : : . . ... IP address of voip unit #n ____ . ____ . ____ . ____ 2. Establish User Name and Password. You must establish a user name and (optionally) a password for contacting the voip over the IP network. (When connection is made via a local serial connection between the PC and the voip unit, no user name is needed.) As shown above, the username and password can be set in the web GUI as well as in the Windows GUI. 325 Operation and Maintenance MultiVOIP User Guide 3. Install FTP Client Program or Use Substitute. You should install an FTP client program on the controller PC. FTP file transfers can be done using a web browser (e.g., Netscape or Internet Explorer) in conjunction with a local Windows browser a (e.g., Windows Explorer), but this approach is somewhat clumsy (it requires use of two application programs rather than one) and it limits downloading to only one VOIP unit at a time. With an FTP client program, multiple voips can receive FTP file transmissions in response to a single command (the transfers may occur serially however). Although MultiTech does not provide an FTP client program with the MultiVOIP software or endorse any particular FTP client program, we remind our readers that adequate FTP programs are readily available under retail, shareware and freeware licenses. (Read and observe any End-User License Agreement carefully.) Two examples of this are the “WSFTP” client and the “SmartFTP” client, with the former having an essentially text-based interface and the latter having a more graphically oriented interface, as of this writing. User preferences will vary. Examples here show use of both programs. 4. Enable FTP Functionality. Go to the Ethernet/IP Parameters screen and click on the “FTP Server: Enable” box. 326 MultiVOIP User Guide Operation & Maintenance 5. Identify Files to be Updated. Deter...
