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.
