Appendix E: MultiManager

Introduction

Multi-Tech MultiManager is a password-protected Windows 95/98/NT program for SNMP-

based administration of RASExpress servers. It can be run from a network client PC or from

a dial-in remote-node or remote-control PC. Using MultiManager you can:

• maintain a map of your servers.

• monitor your servers.

• configure your servers.

• manage your communication lines and servers.

• display numeric statistics.

• graph online and offline statistics.

• display selected traps.

Installation

We recommend that you install MultiManager on a workstation that is on the same network

as a RASExpress server; however MultiManager can be run from any PC that has Internet

access. The workstation must be running Windows 95 or above, or Windows NT 4.0 or

above. To install MultiManager:

1. Insert MultiManager Disk 1 into drive A of the management PC. Do not use the

RASExpress server computer.

2. In Windows Explorer, open drive A and double-click on Setup.exe.

3. Follow the directions in the MultiManager Setup wizard.

Starting MultiManager

1. To start MultiManager, click Start, point to Programs, point to MultiManager, and then

click MultiManager. Alternately, create a shortcut on the desktop and then double-click it.

2. When MultiManager opens, log in using a valid user name and password. Initially no

password is required, but if you opt to use one, you can set it by clicking Change Password

in the Edit menu. Note that the password is case-sensitive.

To configure a server, you must log in as supervisor.

3. If you are starting MultiManager for the first time, click Edit, then click Auto Detect to

map the servers on your network. Valid servers appear in the Auto Detect dialog box, the

device tree, and the network map.

4. Select a server by clicking it in either the device tree or the network map. When you select a

server, the toolbar buttons become active.
