MTPSR1-202ST

Introduction

Multi-Tech’s Remote Access Server for Microsoft network users enables users to dial-out and fax-out
through your MTPSR1-202ST. Remote Access Solution software uses Multi-Tech’s Communications
Services Interface (MCSI - pronounced “Mik-see”).  MCSI is a software redirector which complies
with MCSI/NCSI/NASI defacto standards for software redirection.

The Windows

©

 version of MCSI, called WINMCSI, is supported on Win 3.1x, Windows 98/95, and

Windows NT platforms.  Since WINMCSI provides data communications connectivity, it needs to be
installed and operating before your data communications application software is started.

Installing and Configuring the WINMCSI Modem-Sharing
Software

The WINMCSI modem-sharing software (included on the CD) manages access to a Asynchronous
Gateway (AG) for outbound calls. It allows Windows communications software packages that do not
support INT6B or INT14 to connect to a gateway. It also detects other compatible communications
servers (e.g., RASs) on your network and displays the resources they provide to eligible LAN users.

To install WINMCSI in Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Windows 98/95, or Windows NT,
follow the steps below:

1.

Power on your client PC and log in to your LAN.

2.

Start Windows.

3.

Insert the Multi-Tech ProxyServer CD into your CD-ROM drive. The AutoRun Install Shield is
displayed.

-   Close the AutoRun dialog box.

-  Double-click your My Computer icon.

-  Right-click the CD-ROM drive icon.

-  Click Open. The CD-ROM file displays the following.

WINMCSI - Double-click to open the folder for  Windows 3.1 and 3.11 operating systems.
W95MCSI - Double-click to open the folder for Windows 98/95 operating systems.
NTMCSI - Double-click to open the folder for Windows NT operating systems.

4.

Begin the software installation:

-  Windows 3.1 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11 users  double-click the Install icon. Proceed
   to step 5.

-  Windows 98/95 users double-click the Inst95 icon. WINMCSI will install as either a 16-bit or
   32-bit  program, depending on your system.  Windows 98/95 will locate the proper install.exe
   file.

If your system is a 16-bit system, proceed to Step 5.
If your system is a 32-bit system, proceed to Step 15.

-  Windows NT users double-click the Setup icon and proceed to step 15.
