Setting a Password
Windows Interface
After a user name has been designated and a password has been set, that password is required to gain access to
any functionality of the MultiVOIP software. Only one user name and password can be assigned to a VOIP unit.
The user name will be required when communicating with the MultiVOIP via the web browser interface.
Note: Record your user name and password in a safe place. If the password is lost, forgotten, or irretrievable,
the user must contact Multi-Tech Tech Support in order to resume use of the MultiVOIP unit.
1. The MultiVOIP configuration program must be off when invoking the Set Password command. If it is on, the
command will not work.
2. To use the Set Password command, go to Start | Programs | MultiVOIP n.nn | Set Password.
3. You will be prompted to confirm that you want to establish a password, which will entail rebooting the
MultiVOIP (which is done automatically).
Click OK to proceed with establishing a password.
4. The Password screen appears. If you intend to use the FTP Server function that is built into the MultiVOIP,
enter a user name. (A User Name is not needed to access the local Windows interface, the web browser
interface, or the commands in the Program group.) Type your password in the Password field of the
Password screen. Type this same password again in the Confirm Password field to verify the password you
have chosen.
Click OK.
A message will appear indicating that a password has been set successfully.
After the password has been set successfully, the MultiVOIP will re-boot itself and, in so doing, its BOOT LED
will light up.
5. After the password has been set, the user will be required to enter the password to gain access to the web
browser interface and any part of the MultiVOIP software listed in the Program group menu. User Name
and Password are both needed for access to the FTP Server residing in the MultiVOIP.
