3.1 Initialization

Once the device installation completes, you can access the device either through Command Line Interface, Web Interface or an

SNMP Interface.

: For installation procedure, please refer to the

Hardware Installation guide

available at Proxim’s support site

(http://support.proxim.com).

• To access the device using CLI commands, connect a serial RS-232 cable to the Serial port of the device.

• To access the device using Web or SNMP interface, connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the device.

For all the modes of connection, you will need to configure the IP address of the device. As each network is different, a suitable

IP address on the network must be assigned to the device. This IP address helps you to configure, manage and monitor the

device through the Web Interface, SNMP, or Telnet/CLI. The device can have either a static or dynamic IP address. When set

to static, the user has to set the IP address manually; and if set to dynamic, the IP address is obtained dynamically from the

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.

By default, the device IP Address is set to 169.254.128.132.

: Tsunami® MP-8160-CPE device does not have a Serial Port. However, the user has the flexibility to configure, manage and

monitor the device through command mode via Telnet.
