MultiAccess ACS Connections
The MT100-1M is supplied power through an external power supply.
1. Plug the DC power transformer into the power outlet or power strip. Secure the other end to the PWR
on your MultiAccess. The DC power transformer is included with your MultiAccess.
Caution:
Use only the DC power transform supplied with the MA100-1M. Use of any other
transformer voids the warranty and can damage the unit.
2.
After power is applied, there is a 4-second delay before the PWR LED comes on. In normal
operation, the PWR LED will be flashing.
When you apply power, the MA100-1M performs a diagnostic self-test. The PWR indicator flashes as
a heart beat indicating that the processor is functioning correctly. If the PWR indicator does not come
on, check that the power supply is solidly connected and that the AC outlet is live. If the PWR
indicator flashes as a heart beat, then comes on solid, this indicates a malfunction within the unit.
3. Plug one end of your RJ45 Ethernet cable into the MA100-1M’s Ethernet jack and the other end into your
network Ethernet hub. This Ethernet cable is not included with your MA100-1M unit.
Caution
: Before connecting to the Ethernet Network, make sure that the network to which you
are connecting the MA100-1M is not a 192.168.2.x subnet. Because the MA100-1M’s factory
default IP address is 192.168.2.1, connecting it to a network that has a different Device at that
same IP address would cause data interference.
If it is a 192.168.2.x subnet, connect from the Administrative PC to the MA100-1M using an
RJ45 crossover cable until the MA100-1M’s IP address has been configured. Thereafter,
connect the MA100-1M into the network with an ordinary RJ45 cable.
4.
Plug one end of a phone cable into the telephone wall jack and the other end into the LINE jack on
the MA100-1M.
