Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol to 
transport Web pages. When you access the Internet 
with your browser, the HTTP protocol is used for data 
transport (http://www.Tsunamiwireless.com). When 
you access the MP.11/a using the Web Interface, 
HTTP is used to transport the information. 

A parameter is fundamental value that can be 
displayed and changed. For example, the MP.11/a 
must have a unique IP address and the PC Cards 
must know which channels to use. You can view and 
change parameters with the Web Interface, 
command line interface and SNMP. 

 

 

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used by 
computers and devices to report errors encountered 
during processing packets, and to perform other IP-
layer functions, such as diagnostics (‘ping’). 

The MP.11/a is password protected. To access the 
MP.11/a you need to enter a password before you 
can view or change its settings. The default 
password is ‘public’. 

 

 

The image is the binary executable of the embedded 
MP.11/a software. To update the MP.11/a you must 
download a new image file. 

Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify if 
a particular computer or device with a certain IP 
address is reachable. If the computer or device 
receives the ping packet, it responds which gives the 
ping program the opportunity to display the round-trip 
time. 

 

A unique numerical address of a computer attached 
to the Internet or Intranet. An IP (Internet Protocol) 
address consists of a network part and part for a host 
(computer) number. An IP address is represented by 
four numbers in the range 0 - 255 separated by dots: 
for example 10.0.10.1 and 172.21.43.214. See also 
subnet mask. 

 

A remote is a base or a satellite interface. For a base 
interface, the number of remotes is the number of 
satellites registered; for a satellite interface, there will 
be only one remote, which is the base. 

 

 

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of limited 
size to which computers and devices can connect so 
that they can communicate with each other. 

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is used between 
routers to update routing information so that a router 
automatically ‘knows’ which port to use for a certain 
destination IP address. 

 

 

A license file is used to enable certain features of the 
MP.11/a. The MP.11/a already has a license file 
when it is shipped. When more features become 
available, you can purchase a license file and 
download it to the MP.11/a to enable these additional 
features. 

Routers forward packets from one network to another 
based on routing information. A router uses a 
dynamic routing protocol like RIP or static routes to 
base its forwarding decision on. 

 

 

If an interface is running in outdoor mode (WORP), it 
is either a base or a satellite interface. Satellite 
interface behavior is controlled by the base to which 
it is registered. Satellites are located in the remote 
locations of a network cell. Multiple satellites can 
connect to one base; two satellites cannot 
communicate with each other. See also WORP and 
base.   

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a globally 
unique network device address, which is hardware 
bound. It used to identify a network device in a LAN. 
A MAC address is represented by six two-digit 
hexadecimal numbers (0 - 9 and A - F) separated by 
colons: for example 00:02:2D:47:1F:71 and 
00:D0:AB:00:01:AC. 

 

A computer program that can be used to retrieve or 
set the IP address of a locally connected MP.11/a. 

A Management Information Block (MIB) is a formal 
description of a set of network objects that can be 
managed with the Simple Network Management 
Protocol (SNMP). A MIB can be loaded by a 
management application so that it knows the 
MP.11/a specific objects. .
