Installation and Initialization
Tsunami QB-8100 Series (100 Mbps/5 Mbps Models) Installation and Management Guide 26
2.4 Initialization
Connecting to the device requires either:
A direct connection with a serial RS-232 cable.
A direct connection with an Ethernet cable or 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 device with the CLI.
Using a serial connection, you can access the device through a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal. (See
“HyperTerminal Connection Properties” in the Tsunami QB-8100 Reference Manual.)
For all other modes of connection, you will need the IP address of the device to use the Web Interface, SNMP, or the CLI.
Because each network is different, an IP address suitable for your network must be assigned to the unit. You must have this IP
address to configure and manage the device through its Web Interface, SNMP, or Telnet/CLI. The device can use either a static
or dynamic IP address. The device obtains its IP address automatically through DHCP (dynamic IP address); or else, you must
set the IP Address manually (static IP address).
2.4.1 ScanTool
ScanTool is a software utility that runs on Microsoft Windows machines and is included in the installation CD-ROM within the
device package. Using ScanTool, the IP address assigned to the device can be obtained and, if required, can be changed to the
IP address that is appropriate for the network. The tool automatically detects the devices installed in the network segment,
regardless of IP address, and enables the configuration of each device’s IP settings.
To access the HTTP interface and configure the device, the device must be assigned an IP address, which is valid on its
Ethernet network. By default, the device is configured with the IP address 169.254.128.132. In case of QB, by default, the
End Point A is configured as 169.254.128.132 and End Point B is configured as 169.254.128.131.
Using ScanTool, you can
Launch the Web interface
Scan devices which can respond to the Scantool
Modify the assigned IP address
Switch between the network adapters, if there are multiple network adapters in the system
NOTE: The user may need to disable Windows Farewell for ScanTool to function or to detect the radio.
2.4.2 Setting the IP Address with ScanTool
To initialize the scan tool
1. Power up or reset the device.
2. Run ScanTool on a computer connected to the same LAN subnet as the device, or a computer directly connected to
the device with a cross-over Ethernet cable.
3. ScanTool scans the subnet and displays a list of detected devices in the Scan List.
