Starting Your MultiAccess

This section of the Quick Start Guide covers the steps for connecting a workstation to the MultiAccess, starting up the MultiAccess, opening the MultiAccess Communications Server Web Management program, performing the time zone setup, and using the menu bar to navigate through the Web Management software screens.

1.Set the workstation IP address to 192.168.2.x subnet other than 192.168.2.1 which is the IP address of Ethernet 1 (eth0) and 192.168.2.5 which is already assigned to Ethernet 2 (eht1).

2.Turn on power to the MultiAccess. When you hear 5 beeps, approximately 2 minutes after applying power, continue with the next step.

Note: Depending on the version of MultiAccess (and other variables, like the previous shutdown and the number of expansion modules) the duration needed to boot may vary. It may be helpful to connect an external monitor and keyboard to determine the current status of the system. Five seconds after turning on power, one beep is heard, indicating a successful POST of the mother board, next the BIOS detects the hard drive from which the Linux operating system and appropriate drivers are loaded.

3.Bring up a Web browser on the workstation. At the browser’s address line, enter https://192.168.2.1 and press the Enter key.

Important: Be sure to type https (http will not work).

4.In some environments, one or more Security Alert screen(s) may display. At the initial Security Alert screen, click Yes and follow any additional on-screen prompts.

Login

1.The Login screen is displayed.

Type the default User name: admin (all lower-case)

Tab to the Password entry and type the default password: admin (all lower-case).

Click the Login button.

Note: The User name and Password entries are case-sensitive (both must be all lower-case) and can be up to 12 characters each. Later, you will want to change the password from the default (admin) to something else. (If Windows displays the AutoComplete screen, for security reasons, you may want to click No to tell Windows OS to not remember the password.)
