Select this to access the COM Port Setup screen of the MultiVOIP GSM Configuration program.

Select this for access to set calendar/clock used for call logging.

Select this to download the current set of SIP protocols. This is generally only needed in conjunction with a firmware update.

Select this to return the configuration parameters to the original factory values. To be used after a full set of parameter values, values specified by the user, have been saved (using Save Setup). This command loads the saved user defaults into the MultiVOIP GSM.

Select this to create a password for access to the MultiVOIP GSM software programs (Program group commands, Windows interface, web browser interface, & FTP server). Only the FTP Server function requires a password for access. The FTP Server function also requires that a username be set along with the password.

Select this to uninstall the MultiVOIP GSM software (most, but not all components are removed from computer when this command is used).

Loads firmware and settings from the controller PC to the MultiVOIP GSM unit. User can choose whether to load Factory Default Settings or Current Configuration settings.

“Downloading” here refers to transferring program files from the PC to the nonvolatile “flash” memory of the MultiVOIP GSM. Such transfers are made via the PC’s serial port. This can be understood as a “download” from the perspective of the MultiVOIP GSM unit.

When new versions of the MultiVOIP GSM software become available, they will be posted on Multi-Tech’s website. Although transferring updated program files from the Multi-Tech website to the user’s PC can generally be considered a download (from the perspective of the PC), this type of download cannot be initiated from the MultiVOIP GSM software’s Program menu command set.
