Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management

Chapter 3. Management Overview

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

Web Interface on page 22

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

Command Line Interface on page 23

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/a. See “SNMP” on page 54 for setup procedures.

Connecting to the MP.11/a 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/a. The other connections allow the use of the Web Interface, SNMP, and the CLI. These other connections require the IP address of the MP.11/a before you can use the Web Interface, SNMP, or the CLI. See “MP.11/a IP Address” below for more information.

You can also manage the MP.11/a without an IP address by accessing the MP.11/a through the serial port with a terminal program such as HyperTerminal (see “HyperTerminal Connection Properties” on page 26).

Note: The MP.11/a 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/a IP ADDRESS

Because each network is different, an IP address suitable for your network must be assigned to the MP.11/a. You will need the IP address of the MP.11/a to use its Web Interface, SNMP, or the CLI for configuration and management. Other basic parameters can be managed as well. ScanTool is included on the documentation and software CD-ROM.

The MP.11/a can use either a static or dynamic IP address.

Static IP address

The MP.11/a uses the IP address you have set manually.

Dynamic IP address

The MP.11/a receives its IP address from a DHCP server when it is switched on or rebooted.
