Insert the recovery CD into the CD-ROM drive and power-up the unit. The Unit will boot off the CD and
prompt you to continue. When the process is finished, the CD-ROM drive will eject the disk and the unit
will reboot. Depending on your CD-ROM drive, the disk tray will remain open while the MultiAccess boots
up, or the tray may close again. Remove the disk while the tray is open or power off the unit before Linux
starts to load.
Burning your own Recovery CD:
You can make your own recovery CD with the latest version by downloading the .iso file from the update
server. Recovery images are named as "multiaccess-releasedate-v#.##.iso". For example the 1.11 version is
named "multiaccess-01242005-v1.11.iso".

Download the image. Connect via FTP to update.multitech.com (204.26.122.121), login anonymously, set
binary as the transfer mode and the get the .iso file. Note the exact size of the file as it is displayed on the
update server. It should be the exact same size on your computer after you've downloaded it.

burning it onto a CD you can use the appropriate .md5 file to verify the check sum of the .iso file.
Copy the .md5 and .iso files (the files need to reflect the same version) to a temp directory on a
linux/unix machine. Then from the temp directory issue the command "md5sum -c
filename.md5", for example "md5sum -c multiaccess-01242005-v1.11.md5".
