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 x.xx | 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 will appear. 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.
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 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.
6. 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.
