After the MultiVOIP GSM program is installed on the PC, it can be launched from the Programs group of the 
Windows Start menu ( Start | Programs | MultiVOIP GSM x.xx | … ).  In this section, we describe the software 
functions available on this menu.  

Several basic software functions are accessible from the MultiVOIP GSM software menu, as shown below.  

Configuration 

Select this to enter the Configuration program where values for IP, telephony, 
and other parameters are set. 

Configuration Port Setup 

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

Date and Time Setup 

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

Download ATTable 

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

Download Factory Defaults 

Select this to return the configuration parameters to the original factory values.

Download User Defaults 

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. 

Set Password 

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.  

Uninstall 

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

Upgrade Software 

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.
