Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management
IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD WITH THE BOOTLOADER
The following procedures download an image file to the MP.11/a after the embedded software has been
erased with Forced Reload or when the embedded software cannot be started by the Boot Loader.
A new image file can be downloaded to the MP.11/a with ScanTool or the Command Line Interface
through the MP.11/a serial port. In both cases, the file is transferred through Ethernet with TFTP.
Because the CLI serial port option requires a serial RS-232C cable, Proxim recommends the ScanTool
option.
Download with ScanTool
To download an image file with the ScanTool:
1. Set up the TFTP server as described in “TFTP Server Setup” on page 103.
2. Run ScanTool on a computer that is connected to the same LAN subnet as the MP.11/a. ScanTool
scans the subnet for MP.11/a units and displays the found units in the main window. If in Forced
Reload state (Power and Ethernet LEDs are amber), ScanTool will not find the device until the
MP.11/a bootloader times out, and the Power LED turns RED and the Ethernet LED goes OFF.
Click Rescan to re-scan the subnet and update the display.
3. Select the MP.11/a to which you want to download an image file and click Change.
4. Ensure that IP Address Type Static is selected and fill in the following details:
º IP Address and Subnet Mask of the MP.11/a.
º TFTP Server IP Address and, if necessary, the Gateway IP Address of the TFTP server.
º Image File Name of the file with the new image.
5. Click OK to start the file transfer.
The MP.11/a downloads the image file. The TFTP server program should show download activity
after a few seconds. When the download is complete, the LED pattern should return to Forced
Reload state (Power and Ethernet LEDs are amber). the MP.11/a is ready to start the embedded
software.
6. Press and release the Reset button. It may take several seconds to cycle through the Forced
Reload LED pattern and through the initialization LED sequence.
After a Forced Reload procedure, the MP.11/a returns to factory default settings and must be
reconfigured. ScanTool can be used to set the system name and IP address.
To access the MP.11/a see “Chapter 3. Management Overview” on page 19.
Download with CLI
To use the CLI through the serial port of the MP.11/a you need the following items:
▪ A serial RS-232C cable with a male and a female DB-9 connector.
▪ An ASCII terminal program such as HyperTerminal.
