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

congure 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.)

Setting the IP Address

With ScanTool (a software utility that is included on the product installation

CD), you can nd out the current IP address of the unit and, if necessary,

change it so that is appropriate for your network.

ScanTool lets you nd 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

congure 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.

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

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 nds in the Scan List window (shown below). If necessary, click

Rescan to re-scan the subnet and update the display.
