PLEASE NOTE:This article applies to the R1 version of InphoniteVoice...

1 - Introduction

By default, InphoniteVoice installs the Cassini Web Server for running its client. For InphoniteVoice Server and Enterprise users, an alternate configuration would be to use Microsoft's packaged webserver, Internet Information Services (i.e. IIS).

You would change the default configuration if you have trouble with Cassini, or would like to access the InphoniteVoice client from multiple computers.

2 - More Information

To configure InphoniteVoice to use IIS, you would do the following:

  1. Install Internet Information Services (IIS) from Add/Remove Programs > Add Windows Components if it is not already installed. (NOTE: You may be prompted to insert the Windows CD.)
  2. After installation, open IIS from Administrative Tools in the Control Panel.
  3. Expand the Web Sites folder and right click on the Default Website and choose Properties.
  4. In the "Home Directory" tab, change the Home Directory to C:\Program Files\InphoniteVoice\Web.
  5. In the "Documents" tab, add Default.aspx.
  6. In the "HTTP Headers" tab, click File Types... (or MIME Types...) at the bottom of the window. Add a new type. Enter .xap as the File Name Extension, and application/x-silverlight-app as the MIME Type.
  7. Open a command prompt, and go to the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.x.xxxxx folder, and run aspnet_regiis.exe -i. When its done, close the command prompt.
  8. Back in IIS, return to the 'Properties' for the Default Website. In the "ASP .NET" tab, set the version to 2.x and click OK.
  9. If there is a "Web Service Extentions" folder on the tree in IIS, click it and set ASP .NET 2.xxxxx to 'Allow'.
  10. Open your browser and go to http://localhost. This should open the login page for InphoniteVoice.

NOTE: Using IIS instead of Cassini will allow you to access InphoniteVoice from other computers within your network. Simply go to another computer and type in the name of the computer where InphoniteVoice is installed (e.g. http://ivserver001) and press enter. You will need to know what the name of the computer is, but doing this should open the login page for InphoniteVoice.

This should complete the process of configuring InphoniteVoice to use IIS.

NOTE: InphoniteVoice Desktop does not offer IIS support. If you wish to use InphoniteVoice on an IIS webserver, please contact our sales department for upgrade information and pricing.
