Introduction and Description 
Welcome to Multi-Tech’s new MultiAccess Communications Server, Model MA30120. The MultiAccess 
Communications Server is a high-performance digital remote access solution for Enterprise LANs and intranets or 
internet service providers. MultiAccess is a V.92 remote access server (RAS) supporting up to four T1 line 
interfaces implementing either RBS or PRI signaling for use in North America or up to four E1 line interfaces 
implementing PRI signaling for international use.  The MultiAccess Communications Server uses a web based 
Graphical User Interface (GUI) for configuration, is a 1U (one-up) rackmountable unit that contains up to four 
universal modem ports for dial-in communications.  
 
 
WAN Communications 
MultiAccess ships turnkey for T1/RBS or T1/E1 PRI ISDN and is populated with 30 modems on line interface 1 for 
the basic configuration. Additional modem modules can be added to support up to four T1/E1 line interfaces.  
 
The high-density modems provide V.92/56K dial-up speeds.  In addition, they are manageable from remote 
locations using platform-independent, industry standard protocols. 
 
Management 
MultiAccess includes robust management support allowing a network administrator to securely manage the 
devices either through a web browser or at the command line.  The browser-based option uses the HTTPS 
protocol, also know as SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to provide 128-bit encryption to secure the management 
session.  The command line interface is accessible via SSH (Secure Shell) and supports SCP (Secure Copy) and 
sftp (Secure File Transfer Protocol) to help provide maintenance support. 
 
SNTP Support
.  MultiAccess includes an industry standard Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) client that 
enables it to synchronize its clock with a remote time/clock server on the Internet.  This feature is useful for 
accounting purposes. 
Remote Access  
Comprehensive Security
.  MultiAccess provides an industry standard Radius Server and Radius Client for 
authentication and authorization of thousands of user profiles using PAP and CHAP.  In addition, it uses Network 
Address Translation (NAT) to hide internal, non-routable IP addresses. If a Radius Server does not exist, one is 
provided as part of the MultiAccess system. This Radius Server could provide authentication and authorization 
information for this and other Radius Clients in use at your site.

This Quick Start Guide is intended to provide the experienced system administrator the information needed to 
quickly get the MultiAccess up and running. A User Guide with more detailed information is provided on the 
MultiAccess system CD in Acrobat (pdf) format.
