Installing products in Mac OS X
Installation of MultiTech modem and modem scripts into Mac OS X is as follows:1) Quit System Preferences if it is active (don't just close the window).
2) Copy the desired MultiTech Mac modem script(s) into "/Library/Modem Scripts" in the root of the Mac OS X partition or drive.
3) Connect the MultiTech modem or terminal adapter to the Macintosh and turn it on if it is not already connected and/or turned on.
4) Open System Preferences from the Apple menu and select the Network pane.
5) Installing a USB modem or USB terminal adapter:
i) For Mac OS X v10.0:
a) Select the "Configure:" pop-up list and select Advanced.
b) Select the item called "USB ModemYYY" where YYY is a number like 062. This is the MultiTech USB modem or USB terminal adapter assuming there are no other USB modems or USB terminal adapters connected to the USB. Normally you could double-click on this item and change its name to be more descriptive, but a bug in Mac OS X 10.0.x prevents proper renaming, so steps (c) through (d) will explain how to rename this item if you wish to rename it.
c) With "USB ModemYYY" selected, click on the Duplicate button, change the name of the item to a more descriptive name. For example, change the name to MT5634ZBA-USB if the USB device is a MultiTech MT5634ZBA-USB modem. After renaming the item click on OK.
d) You may select the "USB ModemYYY" item again and click on Delete... if you wish to remove that item from the list since you now have a duplicate of that device already made.
e) Make sure the USB modem or USB terminal adapter check box is checked.
f) Now select the "Configure:" pop-up list and choose your USB modem or USB terminal adapter (in this example, choose MT5634ZBA-USB).
ii) For Mac OS X v10.1:
a) Select the "Show:" pop-up list and select "Active Network Ports".
b) Select the item called "MultiModemUSB", "MultiMobileUSB", or "MTA 128ST Terminal Adapter" depending on the device being installed. You may double-click on this item and change its name to be more descriptive. For example, change the name to MT5634ZBA-USB if the USB device is a MultiTech MT5634ZBA-USB modem.
c) Make sure the USB modem or USB terminal adapter check box is checked (on).
d) You may also want to uncheck (turn off) some of the other network ports or at least change priorities. For example, if you wish to use the MT5634ZBA-USB modem rather than Apple's internal modem, then uncheck the "Modem Port" checkbox. Now click and hold on the MT5634ZBA-USB network port and drag it to the top of the list so that a dark bar appears above all of the other network ports. Now release the mouse button and the MT5634ZBA-USB will be the primary network port when attempting a connection.
e) Now select the "Show:" pop-up list and choose your USB modem or USB terminal adapter (in this example, choose MT5634ZBA-USB).
6) Installing a serial modem or serial terminal adapter:
i) For Mac OS X v10.0:
a) Select the "Configure:" pop-up list and select Advanced.
b) Make sure the "Modem Port" item check box is checked if your modem or terminal adapter is connected to the modem port. Make sure the "Printer Port" item check box is checked if your modem or terminal adapter is connected to the printer port.
c) Now select the "Configure:" pop-up list and choose the port to which your modem or terminal adapter is connected ("Modem Port" or "Printer Port").
ii) For Mac OS X v10.1:
a) Select the "Show:" pop-up list and select "Active Network Ports".
b) Make sure the "Modem Port" checkbox is checked (on) if your modem or terminal adapter is connected to the modem port. Make sure the "Printer Port" checkbox is checked (on) if your modem or terminal adapter is connected to the printer port.
c) You may also want to uncheck (turn off) some of the other network ports or at least change priorities. For example, if you wish to use the Modem Port rather than the Printer Port, then uncheck the "Printer Port" checkbox. Now click and hold on the Modem Port network port and drag it to the top of the list so that a dark bar appears above all of the other network ports. Now release the mouse button and the Modem Port will be the primary network port when attempting a connection.
d) Now select the "Show:" pop-up list and choose the port to which your modem or terminal adapter is connected ("Modem Port" or "Printer Port").
7) With the desired USB modem, USB terminal adapter, or serial port ("Modem Port" or "Printer Port") selected in the "Configure:" (Mac OS X v10.0) or "Show:" (Mac OS X v10.1) pop-up list, you are ready to finish setting up the dial-up connection information:
a) Set up the appropriate information in the TCP/IP tab.
b) Set up the appropriate information in the PPP tab.
c) Set up the appropriate information in the Proxies tab.
d) Select the Modem tab and select the desired MultiTech Mac modem script from the "Modem:" pop-up list.
