Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management
Parameter
HTTP
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 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
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.
ICMP
Password
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 is password protected. To access the
MP.11 you need to enter a password before you can
view or change its settings. The default password is
‘public’.
Image
Ping
The image is the binary executable of the embedded
MP.11 software. To update the MP.11 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.
IP Address
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.
Remote
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.
LAN
RIP
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.
License file
A license file is used to enable certain features of
the MP.11. The MP.11 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 to enable these additional
features.
Router
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.
MAC Address
Satellite
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.
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.
Management Information Block (MIB)
ScanTool
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
specific objects. .
A computer program that can be used to retrieve or
set the IP address of a locally connected MP.11.
Network Mask
See subnet mask.
