Proxim Tsunami MP.11 and MP.11a CPN 65755B Manual De Usuario

This chapter contains a set of procedures, as described in the following table: 

TFTP Server Setup  

Prepares the TFTP server for transferring files to and from the MP.11/a.  
This procedure is used by the other procedures that transfer files. 

Image File Download  

Upgrades the embedded software. 

Configuration Backup  

Saves the configuration of the MP.11/a. 

Configuration Restore  

Restores a previous configuration through configuration file download. 

Soft Reset to Factory 
Default  

Resets the MP.11/a to the factory default settings through the Web or 
Command Line Interface. 

Hard Reset to Factory 
Default  

In some cases, it may be necessary to revert to the factory default 
settings (for example, if you cannot access the MP.11/a or you lost the 
password for the Web Interface. 

Force Reload  

Completely resets the MP.11/a and erases the embedded software.  
Use this procedure only as a last resort if the MP.11/a does not boot 
and the “Hard Reset to Factory Default” procedure did not help.  If you 
perform a “Forced Reload,” you must download a new image file as 
described in “Image File Download with the Boot Loader.” 

Image File Download  
with the Boot Loader  

If the MP.11/a does not contain embedded software, or the embedded 
software is corrupt, you can use this procedure to download a new 
image file. 

To download or upload a file, you must connect to the computer with the TFTP server through the 
MP.11/a’s Ethernet port. This can be any computer in the network or a computer connected to the 
MP.11/a with a cross-over Ethernet cable.   For information about installing the TFTP server, see 
“Installing Documentation and Software” 

Ensure that the upload or download directory is correctly set, the required file is present in the directory, 
and the TFTP server is running.  The TFTP server must be running only during file upload and 
download.  You can check the connectivity between the MP.11/a and the TFTP server by pinging the 
MP.11/a from the computer that hosts the TFTP server. The ping program should show replies from the 
MP.11/a.
