MultiMobile USB User Guide
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Quit System Preferences if it is active (don't just close the window).
2. Copy the desired MultiTech modem script(s) into "/Library/Modem Scripts" in the root of the
Mac OS X partition or drive. You must be the administrator (or have administrator privileges)
to be able to copy to the Modem Scripts folder.
3. Connect the MultiTech terminal adapter to the Macintosh and turn it on if it is not already
connected and/or turned on. The MTA128ST-USB can be connected to the USB keyboard since
it does not draw power from the USB.
4. Open System Preferences from the Apple menu and select the Network pane.
5. Installing a USB terminal adapter:
i. For Mac OS X 10.0:
a. Select the "Configure:" pop-up list and select Advanced.
b. Select the item called "USB ModemYYY" where YYY is a number like 062. This
is the MultiTech USB terminal adapter assuming there are no other USB modems
or USB terminal adapters connected to the USB. Normally you could double-click
on this item and change its name to be more descriptive, but a bug in Mac OS X
10.0.x prevents proper renaming, so steps (c) through (d) will explain how to
rename this item if you wish to rename it.
c. With "USB ModemYYY" selected, click on the Duplicate button, change the name
of the item to a more descriptive name. For example, change the name to
MTA128ST-USB if the USB device is a MultiTech MTA128ST-USB terminal
adapter. After renaming the item click on OK.
d. You may select the "USB ModemYYY" item again and click on Delete... if you
wish to remove that item from the list since you now have a duplicate of that device
already made.
e. Make sure the USB terminal adapter check box is checked.
f. Now select the "Configure:" pop-up list and choose your USB terminal adapter
(in this example, choose MTA128ST-USB).
ii. For Mac OS X 10.1 through 10.3:
a. When the Network pane window is actiavted, a window will pop up indicating
that a new network port has been detected. Click on the "OK" button to continue.
b. Select the "Show:" pop-up list and select "Active Network Ports" (Mac OS X
10.1) or "Network Port Configurations" (Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3).
c. Select the item called "MTA 128ST Terminal Adapter". You may double-click on
this item and change its name to be more descriptive. For example, change the
name to MTA128ST-USB if the USB device is a MultiTech MTA128ST-USB
terminal adapter.
d. Make sure the USB terminal adapter check box is checked (on).
e. You may also want to uncheck (turn off) some of the other network ports or at
least change priorities. For example, if you wish to use the MTA128ST-USB terminal
adapter rather than Apple's internal modem, then uncheck the "Modem Port" and/
or "Internal Modem" checkbox. Now click and hold on the MTA128ST-USB
