INITIALIZATION
Connecting to the unit requires either:
A direct physical connection with an Ethernet cable or with a serial RS-232
cable
A network connection
Connecting with the Ethernet cable allows you to use of the Web Interface and
SNMP in addition to the CLI. Connecting with a serial connection allows you to
congure and manage the unit with the CLI.
Using a serial connection, you can access the unit through a terminal emulation
program such as HyperTerminal. (See “HyperTerminal Connection Properties” in
the Tsunami MP.11 Reference Manual.)
Setting the IP Address
With ScanTool (a software utility that is included on the product installation
CD), you can nd out the current IP address of the unit and, if necessary,
change it so that is appropriate for your network.
ScanTool lets you nd the IP address of a Tsunami MP.11 5012-SUR by
referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to assign an IP address if the
correct one has not been assigned. The tool automatically detects the units
installed on your network segment, regardless of IP address, and lets you
congure each unit’s IP settings. In addition, you can use ScanTool to download
new software to a unit that does not have a valid software image installed.
To discover and set/change the IP address of the unit:
Run ScanTool on a computer connected to the same LAN subnet as the
unit, or a computer directly connected to the unit with a cross-over
Ethernet cable. Double-click the ScanTool icon on the Windows desktop to
launch the program. If the icon is not on your desktop, click Start > All
Programs > Tsunami > MP.11 5012-SUR > Scan Tool.
ScanTool scans the subnet for 5012-SUR units and displays a list of the
units it nds in the Scan List window (shown below). If necessary, click
Rescan to re-scan the subnet and update the display.
