the device cards installed in the CC9600 chassis. When the MR9600 is turned on, the lights go through the  
following sequence before they act as status indicators for the device cards.  
1. The LEDs on the right side turn red and then turn green when the right SIMM passes its memory  
test.  
2. The LEDs on the left side turn red and then turn green when the left SIMM passes its memory test.  
3. The LEDs stay green for about five seconds while the flash boot code waits for a handshake sequence  
on the diagnostic serial port.  
4. If none is detected (this is normal unless the firmware is being updated through the diagnostic port)  
the main controller code starts running and the LEDs are turned off.  
5. The LEDs are turned on and off, one at a time, red and green.  
6. All LEDs turn green while the system starts up.  
7. After the system has started, the LEDs reflect the status of the device cards. Each LED will be in one  
of the following states, depending on the device card.

Operation  
Introduction  
You can operate the MR9600 by using the front panel indicators for information (see Chapter 6). But if you  
install the optional MultiCommManager software, you can operate the MR9600 by running windows-  
based menu and command functions from a dedicated management console (refer to the  
MultiCommManagers User Guide).  
Security  
The MR9600 has a security system to prevent unauthorized system modification by Telnet, Web browser,  
or FTP users who access the system via the TCP/IP network or the diagnostic serial port on the back of the  
CC9600 chassis. SNMP and MultiCommManager software security is accomplished by selecting SNMP  
read and write community strings.  
There are three levels of security: guest, operator, and supervisor. There are default user IDs and passwords for  
each level (see following table).  
Supervisor  
Operator

Default Password  
Once you are logged in, you can change your user ID and password by using the commands userid to  
change your user ID, and passwd to change your password (see Chapter 5).  
File System  
The MR9600 stores configuration, security, and event information in files. There are two drives on the  
system: A and B. The A drive is used for nonvolatile information such as configuration and security  
database files, and is about 1 MB in size. The B drive is for volatile information such as event files, and is  
about 6.5 MB in size. Each drive has an MMM directory on it. A:\MMM stores all configuration  
information for the system. B:\MMM\MR.LOG contains all of the event files for the system. The file system  
can be accessed either through the command line interface or by using FTP.  
Event Files  
One event file is created for each hour in the format MMDDHHYY.HR, where MM is the month, DD is the  
day, HH is the hour, and YY is the last two digits of the year. When the drive fills up, the oldest .HR file is  
deleted. The number of events your MR9600 will hold depends on the number of calls you receive in a day.  
Event files can be FTPed from the MR9600 and analyzed using the Statistical Analyzer, which is part of the  
MultiCommManager software.

MR9600 User Guide  
SNMP Interface  
The MR9600 can be monitored and controlled by using SNMP through the MultiCommManager or a third  
party SNMP manager.  
To receive traps from the MR9600, the SNMP manager should log in using the entry in the system table. In  
that entry, do a set of login PUBLIC.When you are done monitoring the MR9600, do a set of the same  
variable with logout.This will stop traps being sent to your station. MultiCommManager does this  
automatically.  
Command Line Interface  
The MR9600 provides a complete command line interface that enables you to do most of your  
management functions through either the MR9600s diagnostic serial connector or, more likely, by using  
Telnet. When first setting up your MR9600, you must use the MR9600 diagnostic serial connector to set up  
the systems TCP/IP information, such as its IP address, default gateway IP address, etc., as described in  
the MR9600 Quick Start in Chapter 3.  
When you first connect with the MR9600, either in Telnet or by using the serial port, you will be prompted  
for a user ID and password. Enter the correct user ID and password for the desired security level (see  
Securityon page 15). Once you are logged in, the screen should show the following information.  
Welcome to MultiCommManager  
version 2.53  
Press any key to start system  
manually...starting............done  
Username: supervisor  
Password *********  
[0] A:\ #  
The command line prompt is the current directory followed by a # character. You can switch between the  
MR9600s two drives, A and B, by using the cd command or by typing A: or B:. A standard set of DOS and  
UNIX file system commands are available, though in limited fashion (no wildcards are supported, etc.).  
See Chapter 5 for command functions and limitations.  
Some commands allow you to monitor activity on the CommPletes modems. The commands  
getmodems, getcalls, and getfaults allow you to see the current state of the modems, the connection  
history of the modems, and the history of faults on the modems, respectively.  
Information that does not fit on the screen is displayed one page at a time by using a --MORE--  
prompt. When you see this prompt, you have the option of quitting the list by typing Q or continuing the  
list by typing anything else.  
Some commands allow you to change the current state of the modems. With the commands oosset,  
oosclear, reset, and config, you can set modems in or out of service; reset them, or configure them,  
respectively.  
Use the logout command when you are done using the command line interface, in order to leave the  
MR9600 in a secure state.  
For a complete list of the MR9600s commands, see Chapter 5.

Operation  
Telnet Interface  
Telnet is a standard Internet protocol that allows a remote connection between two systems connected to a  
TCP/IP network such as the Internet. The MR9600 can be managed remotely by using Telnet. Telnet can  
give the user access to all management functions through the command line interface.  
There is an inactivity timer associated with the Telnet session. If there is no activity for 10 minutes, then  
the Telnet session will close.  
Web Browser Interface  
The MR9600 can be monitored and controlled from a World Wide Web browser such as Netscape  
Navigator version 2.0 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.0 or later.  
Two interfaces are available: an HTML framed interface (in which the browser screen is split into separate  
frames) and a non-framed interface. To use the framed interface, type the following URL in your browsers  
URL entry line and press ENTER:  
For the non-framed interface, use the following URL:  
In both examples, 111.222.333.444 represents your cards IP address.  
Logging In  
Whenever you access the MR9600 for the first time during a browser session, you will be prompted for a  
user ID and password. You must log in as someone of security level operator or higher to get access to the  
Web interface.  
Both the framed and the non-framed interfaces present logged-in users with a list of available views  
(Framed or Standard), a list of operations, and a list of information views. These are all available via  
hypertext links.  
Getting Modem Information  
In each interface the same information is available in table format. There are tables of information about  
modems, calls on modems, modem and system faults, and system version. In the framed version these  
tables appear in frames on a single HTML page; in the non-framed version each table appears on a  
separate HTML page.  
Controlling Modems  
In either interface, the user can reset modems, set modems in or out of service, and configure modems.  
When the user selects the hot link for an operation, a form appears in which the user can enter in list  
format (e.g., 1A:3C,15B) the modems that are to have the desired operation performed on them. The  
operation is performed when the user selects the action button (e.g., Config if the user is configuring  
modems).

MR9600 User Guide  
Web Interface Limitations  
The Web interface does not provide a full management interface. Full management is provided by our  
MultiCommManager software, or through the use of a third party SNMP manager. However, once the  
system is set up, most management can be done using the Web browser interface.  
FTP Interface  
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a standard Internet protocol that allows the transfer of files between two  
systems connected to a TCP/IP network, such as the Internet. The MR9600 acts as an FTP server so that  
FTP clients can send and receive files to and from it.  
You need FTP to transfer configuration files (*.cfg) to and from your system. If you plan to use  
MultiCommManager security, you need FTP to transfer security files (*.db) to and from your system. If  
you wish to analyze event information, you also need FTP to transfer event files (*.hr) from the MR9600 to  
a management computer where you can run the Statistical Analyzer on them.  
Note: When logging in, you must use the Supervisor user name and password.

Pathname  
Description: A DOS-style path and/or file name. A partial path assumes the current directory.  
Full pathname example: a:\mmm\mr9600.ini  
Partial pathname example: mr9600.ini  
The preceding partial pathname gives the same result as a:\mmm\mr9600.ini if the current working  
directory is a:\mmm.  
Device  
Description: A list of modems or T1 devices separated by commas. No spaces are allowed. A colon selects  
a range of devices from the device preceding the colon through the device following the colon.  
The device identifier includes the devices slot number and device letter. A CommPlete Communications  
Server has 16 slots, numbered from left to right, with the RASCards occupying slots 1, 5, 9, and 13. Each  
modem card contains 8 modems, represented by the letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Thus, 7D is the fourth  
modem in slot 7.  
Examples:  
The following two strings each select modems 1A, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H, 3A, 3B, and 4C:  
1A,2A:3B,4C  
1A,2A,2B,2C,2D,2E,2F,2G,2H,3A,3B,4C.  
Note: T1 devices can exist only at 1b, 1c, 5b, 5c, 9b, 9c, 13b, and 13c.  
IP Address  
Description: An IP address string consisting of four decimal numbers separated by periods. Each number  
may have up to three digits.  
Example: 192.168.4.25  
IP Address Mask  
Description: An IP address string consisting of four decimal numbers separated by periods, in which only  
the decimal numbers 255 and 0 are permitted. It is used to select a set or range of IP addresses. The  
standard Class A mask is 255.0.0.0, the standard Class B mask is 255.255.0.0, and the standard Class C  
mask is 255.255.255.0.  
Example: 255.255.255.0

MR9600 User Guide  
Modules  
Modules are dynamically loaded features that can be loaded when the controller is running without having  
to re-start the system. In the following Command Reference section there are three commands used to  
manipulate modules. They are loadmod, unloadmod, and listmod.  
As of right now the only type of module that can be loaded is called an IP Query module. IP Query  
modules query the system for some information and allow it to be displayed over the SNMP interface. The  
general way to do this is by using the IP Query feature in the MultiCommManager (see the  
MultiCommManager manual for details on this feature), although it can also be accessed by a 3rd party  
SNMP manager as well.  
At this time Multi-Tech Systems can build modules for use only in the MR9600 controller.

MR9600 User Guide  
Introduction  
This chapter provides information needed to identify and fix problems with the MR9600. Problems can be  
diagnosed by observing the LED indicators on the MR9600s front panel, or through the dedicated  
management consoles screen. Also, problems can be found by performing the diagnostic tests  
documented in Chapter 8 of the MultiCommManager Owners Manual.  
For specific MultiModem troubleshooting information, refer to the MultiModem Owner’s Manual shipped  
with your MultiModem. For basic Windows messages, refer to your Windows manual or Help screens. For  
a description of the MR9600s LED indicators, see Chapter 1.  
MR9600 Diagnostic Tests  
If you suspect that your MR9600 is not functioning properly, you can run the following diagnostic tests to  
test the MR9600s hardware capabilities.  
1. Refer to Figure 3 on page 8 to locate the test jumper on the MR9600 Controller card. Put the test  
jumper into the loopback position, so the two pins are shorted together. Reinstall the MR9600  
assembly into the CC9600 chassis. Plug the 10Base-T loopback jumper into the Ethernet connector  
labeled LANon the rear of the CC9600 chassis.  
2. Run MultiExpress or another datacomm program on a PC at 115,200 bps with no flow control. Connect  
the COM port used by the datacomm program to the MR9600s RS-232 port on the rear of the  
CC9600 chassis.  
3. Reset the MR9600 by pressing the reset button on the front with a paper clip, or turn the CC9600  
chassis off and on.  
4. When prompted to start manually, press a key.  
5. When prompted to enter a user name and password, log in as supervisor.  
6. Type the command HDTEST and press ENTER.  
7. You will see a menu. Proceed with testing in the following order:  
WARNING: Running options out of order or ones not specified may cause unpredictable results.  
Test 2 Red LEDs on.  
Test 3 Green LEDs on.  
Test 4 All LEDs off.  
Test 5 Flash memory test.  
Test 7 Ethernet loopback test.  
Watch for the green Ethernet LED on the left side of the front panel; it should be on solid.  
Numbers stopped and packets received will match.  
Test 1 Start backplane. LEDs on the front panel of the MR9600 should reflect the number of cards  
installed.  
Test a Sets segment 1 modems to 9600 bps.  
Test b Sets segment 1 modems OOS.

Appendix A - Updating the MR9600 Controller  
Firmware  
As part of Multi-Tech Systemscontinuing effort to add value to its products, from time to time it releases  
new firmware for the MR9600 controller. This procedure describes how to obtain new firmware releases  
and use them to update your MR9600 controllers.  
1. Download the current MR9600 controller firmware from the Multi-Tech Web site  
MultiModemManager & the CommPlete Communications Server”  
The firmware file name should be similar to REL210.HXC.”  
2. Using a third-party FTP application, FTP the .HXC file to the B drive of the MR9600 controller. If you  
are unable to complete the transfer, it is possible that the controllers B drive is full. In that case,  
delete the most or all of the .HR files in B:\MMM\MR.LOG\ and try again.  
3. Telnet to the MR9600 controller and change to the directory that you FTPd the .HXC file to.  
4. Type update <filename>, e.g., update rel210.hxc. The controller updates the firmware.  
5. When the controller asks if you want to reboot, answer yes. Rebooting the controller does not  
disconnect users who are currently connected to your modems.  
6. Telnet into the controller after waiting a couple of minutes for it to reboot. Log in as supervisor.  
7. Delete the .HXC file.  
8. Log out of the controller. The update is complete.
