CHAPTER1–INTRODUCTIONANDDESCRIPTION

Introduction

Welcome to the world of data communications. You have acquired one of the finest ISDN

terminal adapters (TA) available today from one of America’s oldest and most respected modem

manufacturers: Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. This Quick Start Guide will help you unpack, install,

configure, and use your MTA128ST-USB.

Product Description

The MTA128ST-USB is a desktop terminal adapter with an ST port used for connection to an

ISDN network, a USB port for connection to a PC or laptop, and an analog port to connect it to a

telephone, modem, or fax machine. It ships with a software configuration utility for Windows

98/2000/XP. In addition, the MTA128ST-USB accepts AT commands that enable it to use the

same communications software as an analog modem.

MTA128ST-USB

The MTA128ST-USB is compatible with the popular EuroISDN switch protocol, it communicates

using ISDN BRI (2B+D) service, which provides up to 128 Kbps data and voice communications.

The device automatically detects whether an incoming call is voice or data and handles it

appropriately.

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

Universal Serial Bus (USB), defined by a consortium of industry leaders, permits connection of

multiple low-speed and medium speed computer peripheral devices such as telephones,

modems, printers, keyboards, mice, and scanners; all from a single personal computer port. The

specification, based on open architecture is quickly becoming a standard feature in new desktop

and notebook computers.

Unpacking

Chapter 1 – Introduction and Description

Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. MTA128ST-USB External ISDN Terminal Adapter PN S000340 6

Assembling the MTA128ST-USB

The only assembly required is to mount the feet on the bottom of the unit. Peel the four self-

adhesive plastic feet off the backing strip and press them into the recesses on the bottom.

Connecting the MTA128ST-USB

Place the MTA128ST-USB terminal adapter in a convenient location. In a typical configuration,

you will need to connect your MTA128ST-USB to your computer’s USB port, to its own power

supply, to the ISDN network terminator, and to any optional analog equipment you are using

(e.g., a telephone).

MTA128ST-USB Connection

Connecting to Your Computer

1. Plug the 4-pin flat end (Type A) into a USB port connector on your computer or laptop.

Note: Do NOT plug the “D-shaped” end (Type B) of the USB cable into the USB

connector on the back panel of the MTA128ST-USB at this time. You will be directed to

make the connection during the software driver installation process.

supply could damage the unit and void its warranty.

Connecting to Your ISDN Network Terminator

1. If you need a longer line cord than the RJ-45 line cord provided with your MTA128ST-

USB, select a cord that is wired straight through (pin 1 to pin 1; pin 2 to pin 2, etc.) with at

least the middle four pins connected (pins 2, 3, 4, and 5).

2. Plug one end of the provided RJ-45 S/T line cord into the ISDN jack on the MTA128ST-

USB and the other end into the S/T jack on your network terminator.

Note: The AUX jack and ISDN jack are not interchangeable.

Connecting to Analog Equipment

You can connect an analog device such as an analog telephone, modem, or fax machine to the

unit. Simply plug the device’s modular RJ-11 telephone cord into the RJ-11 AUX connector.

Note: The AUX jack and the ISDN jack on the unit are not interchangeable.
