Installation and Initialization Tsunami MP.11 5012-SUR Installation and Management

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 configure 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.)

For all other modes of connection, you will need the IP address of the unit in order to use the Web Interface, SNMP, or the

CLI. Because each network is different, an IP address suitable for your network must be assigned to the unit. You must

know this IP address to configure and manage the unit through its Web Interface, SNMP, or the CLI. The unit can use

either a static or dynamic IP address. The unit either obtains its IP address automatically through DHCP (dynamic IP

address) or it must be set manually (static IP address).

ScanTool

With ScanTool (a software utility that is included on the product installation CD), you can find out the current IP address of

the unit and, if necessary, change it so that is appropriate for your network. The units are shipped with the static IP

address 10.0.0.1 configured.

ScanTool lets you find 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 configure 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.

Setting the IP Address with ScanTool

To discover and set/change the IP address of the unit:

1. 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 finds in the Scan List window (shown

below). If necessary, click Rescan to re-scan the subnet and update the display.

You can assign a new IP address to one unit, even if more than one unit has the same (default) IP address 10.0.0.1,

but the new IP address must be unique to allow use of the management interfaces.

2. Select the unit for which you want to set the IP address and click Change. The Change dialog window is displayed,

as shown below.
