Hardware Installation Procedure
The MultiAccess is designed to install either on a desktop or in a standard EIA 19" rack, and is shipped with the
mounting hardware to install the MultiAccess in the rack. If installing in a rack, use the provided mounting
hardware and follow the rack enclosure manufacturer's instructions to safely and securely mount the
MultiAccess in the rack enclosure. Proceed to the cabling procedure.
Cabling
Cabling your MultiAccess involves making the proper power, phone, and line (T1/E1/PRI) connections as
described and illustrated below.
The MultiAccess back panel has a fan, a power plug, POWER Switch (| / O), a RJ-11 phone LINE jack, a DB-9
COM1 jack, a DB-15 High-density DSUB (VIDEO) jack, two USB (Revision 1.1 compliant) jacks, four RJ-45
T1/E1/PRI line jacks, and two Ethernet RJ-45 (Ethernet 1 & Ethernet 2) jacks.
1. Using an RJ-45 cable, connect one end to LI-1 (Line 1 Interface) on the back of the MultiAccess and the
other end to your first T1/E1/PRI line connection. If a second, third, or fourth line connection is required,
connect an RJ-45 cable for each of the line connections being used.
2. Connect a workstation to your local network; connect one end of a RJ-45 cable to the Ethernet 1 jack on
the back of the MultiAccess and the other end to the hub on your local network.
3. For advanced users, the Video and Keyboard connections are for manual intervention of the Operating
System.
The default root level login password is linux (lower case) and the command to change the root level
password is "passwd". The recommended mimimum password length is 8-characters. However, the
MultiAccess will accept less than 8-characters.
The Linux command to properly shut down (halt) the MultiAccess is shutdown –h now. The command to
restart is r.
4. With the MultiAccess Power switch in the off (Ο) position and using the supplied power cord, connect the
MultiAccess power plug to a live power outlet.
5. Place the MultiAccess Power switch to the on (|) position to turn on the MultiAccess
Never switch off MultiAccess Power until after you have performed the Shutdown process
Caution:
Refer to Administration > System Tools in Chapter 3 of this User Guide. If the MultiAccess is not properly
shut down before switching off Power, the next start may take a little longer, or in the worst case, data could be
lost.
6. Proceed to Starting the MultiAccess.
