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

This chapter describes how to gain access to the MP.11/a for configuration and management.  Three 
interfaces are provided for viewing or changing the MP.11/a’s settings: 

The Web Interface is a graphical interface based upon Web pages from a built-in Web server. 

The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface using typed commands. 

You also can use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to configure and manage the 
MP.11/a.  See “SNMP” 

Connecting to the MP.11/a requires a direct physical connection with an Ethernet cross-over cable, a 
serial RS-232C cable, or a connection through the network. 

For the serial connection, you can use only the CLI to configure and manage the MP.11/a.  The other 
connections allow the use of the Web Interface, SNMP, and the CLI.  These other connections require 
the IP address of the MP.11/a before you can use the Web Interface, SNMP, or the CLI.  See “MP.11/a 
IP Address” 

for more information. 

You can also manage the MP.11/a without an IP address by accessing the MP.11/a through the serial 
port with a terminal program such as HyperTerminal (see “HyperTerminal Connection Properties” on 
page 26). 

Note:  The MP.11/a includes integrated management that makes the OR Manager obsolete. The 

OR Manager is suitable only for the OR-500, OR-1000, and OR-1100. 

Because each network is different, an IP address suitable for your network must be assigned to the 
MP.11/a. You will need the IP address of the MP.11/a to use its Web Interface, SNMP, or the CLI for 
configuration and management.  Other basic parameters can be managed as well.  ScanTool is included 
on the documentation and software CD-ROM. 

The MP.11/a can use either a static or dynamic IP address.   

 The MP.11/a uses the IP address you have set manually.   

Dynamic IP address 

The MP.11/a receives its IP address from a DHCP server when it is switched on or rebooted.
