UNIT INITIALIZATION

Mesh Initialization

Using ScanTool

ScanTool is a software utility that is included on the installation CD-ROM. It is

an initial conﬁ guration tool that allows you to ﬁ nd the IP address of an Access

Point by referencing the MAC address in a Scan List, or to assign an IP address

if one has not been assigned.

The tool automatically detects the MeshMAX units installed on your network,

regardless of IP address, and lets you conﬁ gure each unit’s IP settings. In

addition, you can set initial device parameters that will allow the Mesh radio to

retrieve a new software image if a valid software image is not installed.

To access the HTTP interface and conﬁ gure the Mesh unit, the unit must be

assigned an IP address that is valid on its Ethernet network. By default, the

Mesh unit is conﬁ gured to obtain an IP address automatically from a network

Dynamic Host Conﬁ guration Protocol (DHCP) server during boot-up. If your

network contains a DHCP server, you can run ScanTool to ﬁ nd out what IP

address the Mesh radios have been assigned. If your network does not contain

a DHCP server, the IP address for the Mesh radios defaults to 169.254.128.132.

In this case, you can use ScanTool to assign the unit a static IP address that is

valid on your network.

Scan Tool Instructions

Power up, reboot, or reset the unit.1.

Double-click the ScanTool icon on the Windows desktop to launch the 2.

program. If the icon is not on your desktop, click Start > All Programs >

Proxim > MeshMAX 5054 > ScanTool.

Note:

If your computer has more than one network adapter installed, you will be

prompted to select the adapter that you want ScanTool to use before the

Scan List appears. You can use either an Ethernet or wireless adaptor.

If prompted, select an adapter and click OK. You can change your adapter

setting at any time by clicking the Select Adapter button on the Scan List

screen.

ScanTool scans the subnet and displays all detected units. The ScanTool’s

Scan List screen appears, as shown in the following example.
