Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol to transport Web pages. When you access the Internet with your browser, the HTTP protocol is used for data transport (http://www.Tsunamiwireless.com). When you access the MP.11 using the Web Interface, HTTP is used to transport the information.
ICMP
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used by computers and devices to report errors encountered during processing packets, and to perform other IP- layer functions, such as diagnostics (‘ping’).
Image
The image is the binary executable of the embedded MP.11 software. To update the MP.11 you must download a new image file.
IP Address
A unique numerical address of a computer attached to the Internet or Intranet. An IP (Internet Protocol) address consists of a network part and part for a host (computer) number. An IP address is represented by four numbers in the range 0 - 255 separated by dots: for example 10.0.10.1 and 172.21.43.214. See also subnet mask.
LAN
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of limited size to which computers and devices can connect so that they can communicate with each other.
License file
A license file is used to enable certain features of the MP.11. The MP.11 already has a license file when it is shipped. When more features become available, you can purchase a license file and download it to the MP.11 to enable these additional features.
MAC Address
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a globally unique network device address, which is hardware bound. It used to identify a network device in a LAN. A MAC address is represented by six
Management Information Block (MIB)
A Management Information Block (MIB) is a formal description of a set of network objects that can be managed with the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). A MIB can be loaded by a management application so that it knows the MP.11 specific objects. .
Network Mask
See subnet mask.
Parameter
A parameter is fundamental value that can be displayed and changed. For example, the MP.11 must have a unique IP address and the PC Cards must know which channels to use. You can view and change parameters with the Web Interface, command line interface and SNMP.
Password
The MP.11 is password protected. To access the MP.11 you need to enter a password before you can view or change its settings. The default password is ‘public’.
Ping
Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify if a particular computer or device with a certain IP address is reachable. If the computer or device receives the ping packet, it responds which gives the ping program the opportunity to display the
Remote
A remote is a base or a satellite interface. For a base interface, the number of remotes is the number of satellites registered; for a satellite interface, there will be only one remote, which is the base.
RIP
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is used between routers to update routing information so that a router automatically ‘knows’ which port to use for a certain destination IP address.
Router
Routers forward packets from one network to another based on routing information. A router uses a dynamic routing protocol like RIP or static routes to base its forwarding decision on.
Satellite
If an interface is running in outdoor mode (WORP), it is either a base or a satellite interface. Satellite interface behavior is controlled by the base to which it is registered. Satellites are located in the remote locations of a network cell. Multiple satellites can connect to one base; two satellites cannot communicate with each other. See also WORP and base.
ScanTool
A computer program that can be used to retrieve or set the IP address of a locally connected MP.11.
