Tsunami MP.11 Installation and Management

Serial Port

You can also use the CLI through the serial port of the MP.11 with a terminal program such as HyperTerminal. You can use this method for cases in which other access methods cannot be used, or when the IP address of the MP.11 cannot be set or retrieved. Also see “Hard Reset to Factory Default” on page 68.

To use the CLI through the serial port of the MP.11 the following items are required:

A serial RS-232C cable with a male and a female DB-9 connector.

An ASCII terminal program, such as HyperTerminal.

Proxim recommends you switch off the MP.11 and the computer before connecting or disconnecting the serial RS-232C cable.

To access the MP.11 through the serial port:

1.Start your terminal program.

2.Set the following connection properties; then connect:

COM port

(For example, COM1 or COM2, to which the MP.11 serial port is connected.)
