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.)
Bits per second 9600
Data bits 8
Stop bits 1
Flow control none
Parity none
Line ends carriage return with line feed
3. Press the RESET button on the MP.11 unit. The terminal program displays Power On Self Test
(POST) messages. After approximately 90 seconds it displays:
Please enter password:
4. Enter the password. The default password is public.
You can now use the CLI.
