Important Safety Instructions

Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the

same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries

according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The RAS96 RASCard circuit board includes a battery that maintains the RASCard’s

setup information when it is turned off or disconnected from power. The battery can

maintain the setup information for approximately 10 years with no external power,

and longer when the RASCard is turned on and operating normally. This battery is

soldered onto the circuit board and cannot be replaced by the user.

Note:There is a possibility of excessive battery drain if the RASCard is set on a metal

table or stored in an anti-static bag.

If, for some reason, the RASCard’s battery should fail, please contact Multi-Tech

Technical Support at +(763) 717-5863 for replacement instructions.

Introduction

This manual describes the field installation and configuration of a Multi-Tech RAS96

series RASCard into aCommPlete Communications Server. It also describes the

optional E1 daughter card which is required for use withMT5634HD16 modem cards.

The RASCard is a single board Pentium computer that serves as a remote access server

(RAS) for the CommPlete Communications Server system. Up to four RASCards, one

per segment, can be installed in one CommPlete Communications Server. Each

RASCard has PCI/ISA bus architecture, a 100-, 133-, 166-, or 200-MHz Intel®

Pentium® processor, up to 128 megabytes (MB) of fast page mode or EDO RAM, a 512K

L2 cache, 1 MB of on-board video RAM, floppy disk and IDE hard disk controllers, a

watchdog timer for an automatic reset, and an 800 MB, 1.2 GB, 1.6 GB, or 2.1 GB on-

board hard disk. One optional E1 daughter card provides an E1 interface for up to two

MT5634HD16 sixteen-modem cards.

Each RASCard comes with MS-DOS and RASExpress remote access server

management software pre-installed on the hard disk. For software operating

instructions, refer to the applicable software manual that was shipped with your

software.
