Setting a Password (Windows GUI)
Talkaphone recommends that a user name and a secure password be assigned to each VOIP unit in
your system configuration.
After a user name has been designated and a password has been set, that password is required to gain
access to the configuration software under both the Windows and Web GUIs. Only one user name and
password can be assigned to a VOIP unit.
Follow these steps to set a user name and password for the VOIP-1-2-4-8 units:
1. Go to Start | Programs | VOIP-x-x-x | Set Password.
2. You will be asked to confirm that you want to set a password, which requires automatic
rebooting of the VOIP unit. Click OK if you are sure you want to set a password.
3. The Password prompt will now appear. If you intend to use the built-in FTP Server function,
enter a user name. A user name is not required to access the Windows GUI, the Web GUI,
or the commands in the Program group menu. Enter your secure password in the New
Password field of the Password screen. Type the same password again in the Confirm
Password field to verify the password you have chosen.
4. Click OK.
5. A message box will appear indicating that a password has been set successfully. After the
password has been set successfully, the VOIP unit will reboot itself (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 GUI and any of the software components listed in the Program group
menu.
7. Both the User Name and Password are both needed for access to the FTP Server residing in
the VOIP unit. When the Windows GUI asks for the password upon launch of the program, it
will simply quit if CANCEL is selected. The Windows GUI will then produce an error
message if an invalid password is entered.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Record your user name and password in a safe place. If the password is lost, forgotten, or
irretrievable, the user must restore the VOIP-1-2-4-8 to factory defaults.
