Chapter
Setting a Password
Windows Interface
After designating a user name and setting a password, that password is required to gain access to the MultiVOIP software. You can assign only one user name and password to a VOIP unit. The user name is required when communicating with the MultiVOIP through the web browser interface.
Note: Record your user name and password in a safe place. If you lose or forget the password, you must contact Multi‐Tech Tech Support 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 does not work.
2.To use the Set Password command, go to Start Programs MultiVOIP x.xx Set Password.
3.You are prompted to confirm that you want to establish a password, which entails rebooting the MultiVOIP (which is done automatically).
Click OK.
4.The Password window 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 window. Type this same password again in the Confirm Password field to verify the password you have chosen.
Note: Be sure to write down your password in a convenient but secure place. If the password is forgotten, contact Multi‐Tech Technical Support for advice.
Click OK.
5.A message appears indicating that a password has been set successfully.
After the password has been set successfully, the MultiVOIP re‐boots itself and, in so doing, its BOOT LED lights up.
6.After the password has been set, the user must 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.
