Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Multi-Tech’s Communication Serial Interface (MCSI2000) which is a serial port

redirector software for Windows® 2000 and XP operating systems. MCSI- pronounced “Mik-

see”, is a software redirector that complies with MCSI/NCSI/NASI de facto standards for

software redirection. It enables discovery, query line status and provides access to the ports on

Multi-Tech’s Remote Access Servers (RAS) using the Multi-Tech’s Asynchronous Gateway

(MAG – proprietary) protocol.

The discovery and line status query features have now been extended to support IPModules on

the network. The IPModule and the acronym SEIP are Multi-Tech’s Serial-to-Ethernet Adapter

with IP (SEIP) protocol that are referred to through out this Guide as an IPModule.

MCSI is extended to choose MAG/Telnet/Raw-TCP mode to access the ports on

RAS/IPModule. The MAG mode operates on Multi-Tech’s RASFinder, CommPlete, and

MultiConnect products.

The IPModule used in a MultiAccess product network only operates in the direct mode.

A brief summary of the extensions and features implemented both on the client and the AG

server on IP Module is listed below:

MCSI2000 CLIENT EXTENSIONS

• Supports discovery and display of the IPModule using MAG Protocol.

• Supports identification of authentication status using MAG protocol.

• Supports manual addition of IPModule and the type of the product can be chosen (RAS,

SEIP).

• Supports adding virtual COM ports during and after installation. Facility to choose

connect-type (MAG or Direct) with respective modes (MAG, Telnet, Raw-TCP) while

adding the port is provided.

• Supports mapping the port. For IPModule, Telnet or Raw-TCP mode can be chosen for

mapping. For RAS products MAG, Telnet or Raw-TCP modes can be chosen for

mapping.

• Supports RFC 2217 compliant Telnet client.

• Supports transparent login to the RAS/IPModule when the port is opened by an

application.

IPMODULE – AG SERVER OPTIONS INCLUDED

• Supports UDP server running on port 526 to respond to the broadcast packet from the

MCSI Client.

• Supports identification as an IPModule.

• Supports sending the status of the port as well as authentication status using a TCP

server running on port 599.

Note: User should take care to enable UDP port 526 and TCP port 599 if they are behind a

Firewall.
