Tsunami MP-8100 Installation and Management Guide 179
5. If you use static IP Address assignments and cannot access the unit over Ethernet, follow the Initializing the IP Address
using CLI procedure. Once the IP Address is set, you can use the Ethernet Interface to complete configuration. If the
device contains the default or known IP and is not accessible, then you need to check the Management VLAN
configuration.
6. Configure the device to “DHCP” mode and reboot. While bootup, if there is a DHCP Server on the network, the DHCP
Server will assign an IP Address to the unit.
8.4.4 HTTP Interface Does Not Work
1. Make sure you are using a compatible browser:
– Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 with Service Pack 1 or later
– Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and above.
2. Make sure you have the proper IP address. Enter your unit’s IP Address in the browser address bar, similar to this
example: http://192.168.1.100. When the Enter Network Password window appears, enter the User Name and enter
the HTTP password in the Password field. The default HTTP username is admin and password is public.
3. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which may be restricting access to HTTP.
8.4.5 Telnet CLI Does Not Work
1. Make sure you have the proper IP Address. Enter your device IP address in the Telnet connection dialog, from a DOS
prompt, type: C:\> telnet <Device IP Address>
2. Use the CLI over the serial port to check the IP Access Table, which may be restricting access to Telnet and HTTP.
8.4.6 TFTP Server Does Not Work
With TFTP, you can transfer files to and from the MP-8100 device. Also see TFTP Server Setup. If a TFTP server is not
properly configured and running, you cannot upload and download files.
The TFTP server:
• Can be situated either local or remote
• Must have a valid IP address
• Must be set for send and receive without time-out
• Must be running only during file upload and download
If the TFTP server does not upload or download files, it could mean:
• The TFTP server is not running
• The IP address of the TFTP server is invalid
• The upload or download directory is not correctly set
• The file name is not correct
8.4.7 Setting IP Address using Serial Port
Use the following procedure to set an IP address over the serial port using the CLI. The network administrator typically
provides the device IP address.
8.4.7.1 Hardware and Software Requirements
• Standard cross-over serial data (RS-232) cable (not included with shipment).
• ASCII Terminal software, such as HyperTerminal.
