Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management
Chapter 3. Management Overview
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:
Web Interface on page 22
The Web Interface is a graphical interface based upon Web pages from a built-in Web server.
Command Line Interface on page 23
The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface using typed commands.
SNMP
You also can use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to configure and manage the
MP.11/a. See “SNMP” on page 54 for setup procedures.
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” below 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.
MP.11/a IP ADDRESS
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.
Static 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.
