This text file details the steps required to install the MultiCommManager(MCM)
and update your MR4800E controller to work with MCM.

MultiCommManager softare and firmware files for the MR4800E controller are
required.


1.  Obtain the current MR4800E controller firmware from the Multi-Tech web
    site (www.multitech.com).  The firmware files are available in the
    Service and Support area under MultiModemManager and MultiCommManager
    Resources.

    Current Firmware:  5.01 (filename REL501.HXC)

2.  Obtain the MultiCommManager software.  Current release is always available
    in the Service and Support area of www.multitech.com.

    Current MCM Software:  7.20 (filename MCM720.EXE)

3.  Upgrade your MR4800E controller's firmare.  First, FTP the firmware
    file up to the MR4800E controller.

4.  Telnet into the MR4800E controller.  Change to the directory that you
    FTP'd the firmware file.  Type 'UPDATE REL501.HXC'.  The controller will
    begin updating.

5.  The controller will ask you if you want to Reboot.  Answer YES.  Rebooting
    the controller *will not* disconnect users currently connectd to your
    modems.

6.  Install the MultiCommManager software on your Supervisor PC.  Install the
    MCM software to a fresh directory (not to an existing directory where
    a previous version of MultiModemManager software may be installed).

7.  Open up the MCM Explorer window.  Highlight 'Physical View'.

8.  You now need to create the IP site that is your MR4800E Controller and
    rack.  Click on the 'Add' button at the bottom of the MCM Explorer
    window.    Enter the IP address of the MR4800E as well as a unique
    name.  Use the first three letters of the Long Name for the Short Name.
    Click OK.

9.  Double-Click on Physical View.  You should see your Long Name site with
    a green 'IP' to the left of it.  If the 'IP' is gray you will want to
    double-check your IP settings.  Also make sure the Read and Write
    Community settings match how they are set on the MR4800E Controller.


Installation is complete.

You should now be able to click on the 'IP' site you just created and see your
modems within the 'IP' site tree.
