Proxim 5012-SUR manual Initialization, Setting the IP Address

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.)

Setting the IP Address

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.

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.

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.
