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.)

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 unit 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:
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 [Model] > Scan Tool
.
ScanTool scans the subnet and displays the units it finds in the main
window. If necessary, click
Rescan
to re-scan the subnet and update
the display. You can assign a new IP address to one unit, even if more
than one unit has the same (default) IP address 10.0.0.1, but the new IP
address must be unique to allow the use of the management interfaces.
Select the unit for which you want to set the IP address and click
Change
.
The
Change
dialog window is displayed.
To set the IP address
manually
, ensure that
Static
is selected as the
IP
Address Type
and fill in the
IP Address
and
Subnet Mask
suitable for
the LAN subnet to which the unit is connected.
