Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management

Chapter 3. Management Overview

This chapter describes how to gain access to the MP.11 for configuration and management. Three interfaces are provided for viewing or changing the MP.11’s settings:

Web Interface on page 20

The Web Interface is a graphical interface based upon Web pages from a built-in Web server.

Command Line Interface on page 21

The Command Line Interface (CLI) is a text-based interface using typed commands.

SNMP

You also can use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to configure and manage the MP.11. See “SNMP” on page 42 for setup procedures.

Connecting to the MP.11 requires a direct physical connection with an Ethernet cross-over cable, a serial RS-232C cable, or a connection through the network.

For the serial connection, you can use only the CLI to configure and manage the MP.11. The other connections allow the use of the Web Interface as well as of the CLI. These other connections require the IP address of the MP.11 before you can use the Web Interface or the CLI. See “MP.11 IP Address” below for more information.

You can also manage the MP.11 without an IP address by accessing the MP.11 through the serial port with a terminal program such as HyperTerminal.

Note: The MP.11 includes integrated management that makes the OR Manager obsolete. The OR Manager is suitable only for the OR- 500, OR- 1000, and OR- 1100.

MP.11 IP ADDRESS

Because each network is different, an IP address suitable for your network must be assigned to the MP.11. You will need the IP address of the MP.11 to use its Web Interface or the CLI for configuration and management.

The MP.11 either obtains its IP address automatically through DHCP or it must be set manually. With ScanTool, you can find out the current IP address of the MP.11 and, if necessary, change it so that is appropriate for your network.

ScanTool

The IP address of the MP.11 on the connected local network can be set and retrieved using ScanTool. Other basic parameters can be managed as well. ScanTool is included on the documentation and software CD-ROM.
