81.3. How to configure PCphone

PCphone is a web based application that, with the aid of a plugin, allows the Firefox browser to be used as a POTS phone. It can be connected in the Abilis private or public side. Suppose that the OPC and HTTP resources are already configured.

Enter into the Abilis control-program or open the configuration file with the Console configurator and type the following commands.

a dev:vpots-1Add a VPOTS device (e.g. VPOTS-1).
