Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management
FORCED RELOAD
With Forced Reload, you reset the MP.11 to the factory default settings and erase the embedded
software. Use this procedure only as last resort if the MP.11 does not boot and the “Reset to Factory
Defaults” procedure did not help. If you perform a Forced Reload, you must download a new image
file with the Boot Loader (see “Image File Download with the Boot Loader” below).
Caution! The following procedure erases the embedded software of the MP.11. An
image file must be downloaded either with the ScanTool or with the Boot
Loader CLI through the serial port to make the MP.11 functional again.
To do a forced reload:
1. Press the RESET button on the MP.11 unit; the MP.11 resets and the LEDs flash.
2. Press and hold the RELOAD button on the MP.11 unit for about 20 seconds until the POWER LED
lights amber; the MP.11 is erased completely and only the Boot Loader remains available.
3. Follow the procedure “Image File Download with the Boot Loader” to download an image file.
IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD WITH THE BOOTLOADER
The following procedures download an image file to the MP.11 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 with Scan Tool or the Command Line Interface
through the MP.11 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.
ScanTool
To download an image file with the ScanTool:
1. Set up the TFTP server as described in “TFTP Server Setup” on page 64.
2. Run ScanTool on a computer that is connected to the same LAN subnet as the MP.11. ScanTool
scans the subnet for MP.11 units and displays the found units in the main window. If necessary,
click rescan, to re-scan the subnet and update the display.
3. Select the MP.11 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.
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.
