TOPIC

I have just installed a MultiPort Server card into my NuBus-based Macintosh computer. When I load up the MultiPort server software and configure the ports I have no modem access. Why?

DISCUSSION

In order for the software to see all of the four ports on the card, you must have the CSI server extension loaded at startup. When this software loads it initializes the card. Even though this is non-Apple software, so you may think it is not needed, but it is necessary.

Open the Remote Access Manager Application that is installed on the hard drive in the Remote Access MP folder. Under the Server Menu, is an option for Configure Ports. This opens the port information window.

Look in the port information window to see how many ports are available (with one card, it will say, "4 out of 4." If the card is not initialized or loaded, it will say "0 out of 4." This extension is included on the CSI disk included with the card.

The Remote Access MultiPort software will not allow you to "serve out" the built-in serial ports on a Nubus-based Macintosh computer. The Famous Apple!
