Static MAC Pair Filtering
The Static MAC Address filter optimizes the performance of a wireless (and wired) network. Click the Configure
button, the Filtering tab, and the Static MAC sub-tab to access the Static MAC Address filter.
The filter is an advanced feature that lets you limit the data traffic between two specific devices (or between
groups of devices based upon MAC addresses) through the wireless interface of the MP.11/a. For example, if
you have a server on your network with which you do not want wireless clients to communicate, you can set up a
static MAC filter to block traffic between these devices. The Static MAC Filter Table performs bi-directional
filtering. However, note that this is an advanced filter and it may be easier to control wireless traffic through other
filter options, such as Protocol Filtering.
To add the entries to Filter table, click the Add Table Entries button.
After entering the data, click the Add button.
The entry is enabled automatically when saved.
To edit an entry, click Edit. To disable or remove an entry, click Edit and change the Status field from Enable to
Disable or Delete.

Status
The Status field can show Enable, Disable, or Delete.
Storm Threshold
Click the Configure button, the Filtering tab, and the Storm Threshold sub-tab to use threshold limits to prevent
broadcast/multicast overload.
Storm Threshold is an advanced Bridge setup option that you can use to protect the network against data
overload by specifying:
• A maximum number of frames per second as received from a single network device (identified by its MAC
address).
• An absolute maximum number of messages per port.
The Storm Threshold parameters let you specify a set of thresholds for each port of the MP.11/a, identifying
separate values for the number of broadcast messages per second and multicast messages per second.
When the number of frames for a port or identified station exceeds the maximum value per second, the MP.11/a
ignores all subsequent messages issued by the particular network device, or ignores all messages of that type.
Per Address Threshold
Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
Ethernet Threshold
Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.
Wireless Threshold
Enter the maximum allowed number of packets per second.

Chapter 5. Web Interface 75
9) Intra-Cell Blocking (Base Station only)
The Intra-Cell Blocking feature lets traffic be blocked between two SUs registered to the same Base Station.
There are two potential reasons to isolate traffic among wireless subscribers:
• To provide better security to the subscribers by isolating the traffic from one subscriber to another in a public
space.
• To block unwanted traffic between subscribers to prevent this traffic from using bandwidth.
You can form groups of SUs at the Base Station, which define the filtering criteria. All data to or from SUs
belonging to the same group are bridged. All other data from SUs that do not belong to a particular group are
automatically forwarded through the Ethernet interface of the Base Station. If an SU does not belong to any
group, the Base Station discards the data.
You can also configure a Security Gateway to block traffic between SUs connected to different BSUs. All packets
destined for SUs not connected to the same Base Station are forwarded to the Security Gateway MAC address
(configured in the Security Gateway tab).
When you change the device from Bridge to Routing mode, Intra-Cell Blocking stops working with or without a
reboot. When you change the device from Routing to Bridge mode, Intra-Cell Blocking starts working with or
without a reboot.
Group Table Tab
The Group Table tab lets you enable the Intra-Cell Blocking feature and to configure Intra-Cell Blocking Groups.
Intra-Cell Blocking Status
Enables or disables the Intra-Cell Blocking feature.
Group Table
Entries in this table show the Intra-Cell Blocking filter groups that have been configured. When Intra-Cell
Blocking is enabled, the Base Station Unit discards all packets coming from one SU to another SU, if both
SUs do not belong to the same filter group.

Security Gateway Tab
You can configure a Security Gateway to block traffic between SUs connected to different Base Stations. Verify
that Intra-Cell Blocking has been enabled on the Group Table tab before configuring the Security Gateway.
Security Gateway Status
Enables or disables packet forwarding to the external Security Gateway.
Security Gateway MAC Address
Lets you configure the MAC address of the external Security Gateway.
Group Rules
The following rules apply to Intra-Cell Blocking Groups:
• One SU can be assigned to more than one group.
• An SU that has not been assigned to any group cannot communicate to any other SU connected to the same
or different Base Station Unit.
Example of Intra-Cell Blocking Groups
Four Intra-Cell Blocking Groups have been configured on one Base Station Unit. SUs 1 through 6 are registered
to Base Station Unit 1. SUs 7 through 9 are registered to Base Station Unit 2.
Intra-Cell Blocking Group Example
Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Group 4
SU 1 SU 2 SU 6 SU 8
SU 4 SU 3 SU 1 SU 9
SU 5 SU 8 SU 3 SU 2
In this example, SU 1 belongs to two groups, Group 1 and Group 3. Therefore, packets from SU 1 destined to SU
4, SU 5, SU 6, and SU 3 are not blocked. However, SU 9 belongs to group 4 only and packets from SU 9 are
blocked unless sent to SU 8 or SU 2.

Chapter 5. Web Interface 79
10) NAT (Network Address Translation)
The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature lets hosts on the Ethernet side of the SU transparently access
the public network through the Base Station. All hosts in the private network can have simultaneous access to the
public network.
Note: The NAT tab is available for SUs in Routing mode only. The SU supports NAPT (Network Address Port
Translation) where all private IP addresses are mapped to a single public IP address, and does not
support Basic NAT (where private IP addresses are mapped to a pool of public IP addresses).
Both dynamic mapping (allowing private hosts to access hosts in the public network) and static mapping
(allowing public hosts to access hosts in the private network) are supported.
• In dynamic mapping, the SU maps the private IP addresses and its transport identifiers to transport identifiers
of a single Public IP address as they originate sessions to the public network. This is used only for outbound
access.
• Static mapping is used to provide inbound access. The SU maps a private IP address and its local port to a
fixed public port of the global IP address. This is used to provide inbound access to a local server for hosts in
the public network. Static port mapping allows only one server of a particular type. Up to 1000 ports (500 UDP
and 500 TCP) are supported.
NAT Status
Enables or disables the NAT feature. NAT can be enabled only for SUs in Routing mode.
The default is disabled.
Note: Changes to NAT parameters including the NAT Static Port Mapping Table require a reboot to take effect.
NAT Static Bind Status
Enables or disables the NAT Static Bind status (static mapping) to allow public hosts to access hosts in a
private network. The default is disabled.
Public IP Address
The NAT Public IP address is the wireless interface IP address.
MP.11 and MP.11/a Quick Install Guide
Chapter 5. Web Interface 80
NAT Feature Interactions
When NAT is enabled, the DHCP Relay Agent feature is not supported (DHCP Relay Agent must be disabled
before NAT is enabled) and RIP updates are not sent or received.
DHCP Server Interaction
You can configure a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to hosts on the Ethernet side of the SU/Base Station
(see DHCP Server).
NAT Static Port Mapping Table
Adding entries to the NAT Static Mapping Table lets the configured hosts in a private address realm on the
Ethernet side of the SU access hosts in the public network using Network Address Port Translation (NAPT). Up to
1000 entries can be configured (500 UDP ports and 500 TCP ports).
To add an entry:
1. Click the Add Table Entries button.
2. Enter the Local IP Address of the host on the Ethernet side of the SU.
3. Select the Port Type: TCP, UDP, or Both.
4. Enter the Start Port and End Port
Supported Session Protocols
The NAT feature supports the following session protocols for both inbound and outbound access with the required
support, applications, and limitations given in the following table.
Certain Internet applications require an Application Level Gateway (ALG) to provide the required transparency for
an application running on a host in a private network to connect to its counterpart running on a host in the public
network. An ALG may interact with NAT to set up state information, use NAT state information, modify application
specific payload and perform the tasks necessary to get the application running across address realms.
No more than one server of a particular type is supported within the private network behind the SU.

ADDITIONAL INTERFACE INFORMATION
Dynamic Frequency Selection (Tsunami MP.11a only)
With Tsunami MP.11a units, Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is enabled automatically based upon the
country you select. You can tell DFS is in use because the frequency selection drop-down box on the Interfaces
page is grayed out (click the Configure button and the Interfaces tab); it displays only the DFS-selected
frequency. You cannot select a preferred frequency or band in which to operate. DFS scans all available
frequencies in all available bands to select the operating frequency automatically.
To comply with your country’s regulations, change the DFS selection to specify your country. You can do this by
logging into the unit, clicking the Configure button and selecting the System tab. There is a drop-down box
labeled “Country” with all available countries from which to select. Choose your country, configure the unit as
required, and reboot for the settings to take effect.
Note: Because DFS must scan for radar and interference on multiple channels, you must allow a sufficient
amount of time for the units to start up. This is considerably longer than when the unit is not using DFS.
Startup time is usually within two to three minutes if no radar is detected. If radar is detected, the unit
may reboot multiple times before it becomes fully operational and can take much longer to start. This is
expected behavior.
DFS Requirement
Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) is required in FCC and ETSI countries; it is enabled automatically when you
select a country with a regulatory domain that requires DFS. DFS is required for two purposes.
1. Radar avoidance both at startup and while operational. To meet these requirements, the Tsunami MP.11a
BSU scans available frequencies at startup for the presence of a radar signal on all available frequencies; it
does not use any frequency in which radar signals are detected. Once fully operational on a frequency, the
BSU actively monitors the occupied frequency for radar interference. If radar interference is detected, the
BSU logs a message and reboots to find a new frequency free of interference.
Understand that radar detection is performed only by the BSU and not by the SU. When an SU is set to a
country in which DFS is used, it scans all available channels upon startup looking for a BSU that best
matches its connection criteria (such as Base Station System Name, Network Name, and Shared Secret).
The SU connects to the BSU automatically on whatever frequency the BSU has selected. Because of this
procedure, it is best to set up the BSU and have it fully operational before installing the SU, although this is
not required. If a BSU reboots because of radar interference, the SU loses its WORP link. The SU waits 30
seconds, and if it finds that the WORP link is down, it rescans the available frequencies for an active BSU.
2. Guarantee the efficient use of available frequencies by all devices in a certain area. To meet this
requirement, the BSU scans each available frequency upon startup and selects a frequency based upon the
least amount of noise and interference detected. This lets multiple devices operate in the same area with
limited interference. This procedure is done only at startup; if another non-radar device comes up on the
same frequency, the BSU does not detect this or reboot because of it. It is expected that other devices using
these frequencies also are in compliance with country regulations, so this should not happen.

Chapter 5. Web Interface 83
Wireless Outdoor Router Protocol
The Wireless Outdoor Router Protocol (WORP) is a polling algorithm designed for wireless outdoor networks.
WORP takes care of the performance degradation incurred by the so-called “hidden-node” problem, which can
occur when standards-based 802.11b wireless LAN technology is used for outdoor building-to-building
connectivity. In this situation, when multiple radios send an RTS, if another radio is transmitting, it corrupts all
data being sent, degrading overall performance. The WORP polling algorithm ensures that these collisions
cannot occur, which increases the performance of the overall network significantly.
WORP dynamically adapts to the number of SUs that are active on the network and the amount of data they have
queued to send.
Satellite Density
The Satellite Density setting is a valuable feature for achieving maximum bandwidth in a wireless network. It
influences the receive sensitivity of the radio interface. This feature improves operation in environments with a
high noise level. Reducing the sensitivity of the radio enables unwanted “noise” to be filtered out. (It disappears
under the threshold.)
You can configure the Satellite Density to be Large, Medium, Small, Mini, or Micro. The default value for this
setting is Large. The smaller settings are appropriate for high noise environments; a setting of Large would be for
a low noise environment.
A long distance link may have difficulty maintaining a connection with a small density setting because the wanted
signal can disappear under the threshold. Consider both noise level and distance between the peers in a link
when configuring this setting. The threshold should be chosen higher than the noise level, but sufficiently below
the signal level. A safe value is 10 dB below the present signal strength.
If the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) is not sufficient, you may need to set a lower data rate or use antennas with
higher gain to increase the margin between wanted and unwanted signals. In a point-to-multipoint configuration,
the Base Station should have a density setting suitable for all of its registered SUs, especially the ones with the
lowest signal levels (longest links).
Take care when configuring a remote interface; check the available signal level first, using Remote Link Test.
Warning!
When the remote interface accidentally is set at too small a value and communication is lost, it cannot be
reconfigured remotely and a local action is required to bring the communication back. Therefore, the best place to
experiment with the level is at the unit that can be managed without going through the link; if the link is lost, the
setting can be adjusted to the correct level to bring the link back.
To set the Satellite Density, click the Configure button, then the Interfaces tab and the Wireless sub-tab.
Make your density selection from the drop-down menu. This setting requires a reboot of the unit.
Sensitivity threshold settings related to the density settings for the MP.11a (802.11a) are:
Satellite Density Large Medium Small Mini Micro
Receive Sensitivity Threshold -95 dBm -86 dBm -78 dBm -70 dBm -62 dBm

5) Reset
Click the Commands button and the Reset tab to restore the configuration of the MP.11/a to the factory default
values.
You can also reset the MP.11/a from the RESET button located on the side of the unit. Because this resets the
MP.11/a’s current IP address, a new IP address must be assigned.
CAUTION: Resetting the MP.11/a to its factory default configuration permanently overwrites all
changes made to the unit. The MP.11/a reboots automatically after this command has been
issued.
6) Help Link
Click the Commands button and the Help Link tab to set the location of the help files of the Web Interface. Upon
installation, the help files are installed in the C:\Program Files\Proxim\Tsunami MP11\Help\ folder.

path in the Help Link box.
MP.11 and MP.11a Installation and Management
Chapter 2. Installation 94
Chapter 6. Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides a text-based interface with which you can configure and manage the
MP.11/a using commands. You can enter these commands or submit them in the form of a script to allow batch
processing. Accessing the CLI is discussed in “Command Line Interface Overview” on page 29.
Administrators use the CLI to control MP.11/a operation and monitor network statistics. The MP.11/a supports
two types of CLI—the Boot Loader CLI and the normal CLI. The Boot Loader CLI provides a limited command set
and is used when the current Image is bad or missing.
BOOT LOADER CLI
The Boot Loader CLI is a minimal subset of the normal CLI used to perform initial configuration of the MP.11/a.
The Boot Loader is started when the MP.11/a is switched on or reset, and is responsible for starting the
embedded software. The Boot Loader CLI is available when the MP.11/a embedded software is not running.
This interface is accessible only through the serial interface if the MP.11/a does not contain a software image or a
download image command over TFTP has failed.
The Boot Loader CLI lets you configure the initial setup parameters as well as download a software image to the
device.
The following commands are supported by the Boot Loader CLI:
• Set for configuration of initial device parameters
• Show to view the device’s configuration parameters
• Help to provide additional information about all commands supported by the Boot Loader CLI
• Reboot to reboot the device
The parameters supported by the Boot Loader CLI for viewing and modifying are:
• System name
• IP address assignment type
• IP address
• IP mask
• Gateway IP address
• TFTP Server IP address
• Image Filename (including the file extension)

CLI TERMINOLOGY
Configuration Files
Database files containing the current configuration information. Configuration items include the IP address
and other network-specific values. Configuration files can be downloaded to the MP.11/a or uploaded for
backup or troubleshooting.
Download versus Upload
Downloads transfer files to the MP.11/a; uploads transfer files from the MP.11/a. The TFTP server performs
file transfers in both directions.
Group
A logical collection of network parameter information. For example, the System Group is comprised of
several related parameters. Groups also can contain tables. All items for a given group can be displayed
with a show <Group> CLI command.
Image File
The MP.11/a software executed from RAM. To update an MP.11/a, you typically download a new image file.
Parameter
A fundamental network value that can be displayed and may be changeable. For example, the MP.11/a must
have a unique IP address and the wireless interface must be assigned an SSID. Change parameters with the
CLI set command and view them with the CLI show command.
Table
Tables hold parameters for several related items. For example, you can add several potential managers to
the SNMP table. All items for a given table can be displayed with a show <table> CLI command.
TFTP
Refers to the TFTP Server, used for file transfers.

Passwd Command
Use the passwd command to change the password used to access the CLI.
passwd <old password> <new password> <new password>
Enter the new password twice to ensure no mistake was made when specifying the new password. If you forget
the CLI password, there is no way to retrieve it from the MP.11/a and the CLI cannot be accessed. In this case,
the MP.11/a must be reset to factory defaults. The default password for the CLI is public.
Quit Command
The quit, done, and exit commands are used to disconnect and close the current CLI session.
Reboot Command
Use the reboot command to signal the MP.11/a to reboot after a specified number of seconds.

SHOW AND SET PARAMETERS
The following table details the non-table parameters available to be viewed and set within the MP.11/a CLI.
R = Read-only W = Write-only RW = Read-Write
Antenna Alignment Display Parameters
Antenna Alignment Display (AAD) provides a measurement of signal quality in an easy-to-interpret manner (a
numeric printed signal value at the CLI and serial ports). The SNR is displayed numerically on the CLI or serial
port by two decimal characters representing a number from 00 to 99. On the serial port, AAD is enabled by default
after booting.
To start the display, you must enable AAD and a WORP link must be established between the Base Station and
SU.
aad RW
set aad enable local
Enables display of the local SNR. Local SNR is the SNR measured by the receiver at the near end.
set aad enable remote
Enables display of the remote SNR. Remote SNR is the SNR as measured by the receiver at the far
end.
set aad enable average
Enables display of the average SNR. The average SNR is the average of the local and remote SNR.
set aad disable
Disables Antenna Alignment Display. Also, ctrl-c disables AAD.
AAD is automatically disabled 30 minutes after it is enabled to remove the load of extra messages on
the wireless interface. The default telnet timeout is 900 seconds (15 minutes). In this case, AAD auto
stops in 15 minutes. If AAD is required to run for the full 30 minutes, change the default telnet timeout
to a value greater than 30 minutes (greater than 1800 seconds). This restriction is for telnet
connections only and not for the serial interface. The serial interface never times out.

Chapter 6. Command Line Interface 108
Maximum DDRS Data Rate (ddrsmaxdatarate): The maximum data rate at which the device can operate (the
default is 36 Mbps)
When an SU roams from Base Station 1 to Base Station 2, the data rate at which it connects to Base Station 2 is
the default data rate. If this remains at the factory default of 6Mbps, there can be issues with the application if it
requires more then 6 Mbps (for example multiple video streams).
Applications requiring a higher data rate could experience a slight data loss during the roaming process while
DDRS selects a higher rate (based upon link conditions).
When the applications re-transmit at a possibly slower rate, the WORP protocol initially services the data at 6
Mbps and increases the data rate to the "Maximum DDRS Data Rate" one step at a time. Because the
applications are not being serviced at the best possible rate, they further slow down the rate of data send.
The DDRS algorithm requires data traffic (a minimum of 128 frames) to raise the rate to a higher value. Although
roaming occurs successfully, the previous scenario causes applications to drop their sessions; hence session
persistence is not maintained.
Note: You must know the data rate required for the applications running and you must ensure (during network
deployment) that the ranges and RF links can support the necessary data rate. You also must set the
default DDRS rate at the capacity necessary for the application so that it connects to the next base
station at the required capacity if roaming occurs. Set the Default DDRS Data Rate to a greater value
(24 or 36 Mbps, for example) for applications requiring session persistence when roaming occurs.

Entering Strings
To enter a string with spaces, use single or double quotes. For example, there is no need for quotes in the
following command because the string contains no spaces:
set sysname Lobby
The following string, however, requires quotes because of the space between the words Front and Lobby.
set sysname “Front Lobby”
Viewing Table Contents
You can view the contents of a table as follows:
show <table name>
Example: This command displays all parameter values of the SNMP IP access table (snmpipaccesstbl).
show snmpipaccesstbl
Creating a Table Row
You can create a table row as follows:
set <table name> 0 <parameter 1 name> <value 1> … <parameter n name> <value n>
When you create a table row, you must use 0 as row index. Only the mandatory parameters are required.
Optional parameters automatically receive the default value unless a value is given.
Example:
set snmpipaccesstbl 0 ipaddr 10.0.0.10 submask 255.255.0.0
This command adds a row to the SNMP IP access table (snmpipaccesstbl) with the IP address (ipaddr) and
subnet mask (submask) parameters, which are respectively assigned 10.0.0.10 and 255.255.0.0.
Modifying a Table Entry
If you want to change a table entry, you must indicate the index of the table row and the parameter that must be
modified.
Example:
set snmpipaccesstbl 1 ipaddr 10.0.0.11
This command changes the IP address (ipaddr) at row index 1 of the SNMP IP access table
(snmpipaccesstbl) into 10.0.0.11.

Chapter 6. Command Line Interface 118
Modifying Several Table Entries
You can also modify several table entries at once by indicating the index of the table row and the parameters that
must be modified. With the search command, you can see which parameters are in the table.
Example:
set snmpipaccesstbl 1 ipaddr 10.0.0.12 submask 255.255.255.248 cmt “First Row”
Enabling, Disabling, or Deleting a Table Row
You can also enable, disable, or delete a row in a table. The syntax of this command is:
<table name> <row> <enable/disable/delete>, or
<table name> <row> status <1/2/3>
Example 1: The following command enables the row at index 2 of the SNMP IP access table
(snmpipaccesstbl).
set snmpipaccesstbl 2 enable
Example 2: The following command disables the row at index 2 of the SNMP IP access table
(snmpipaccesstbl). The status codes have the following meaning: 1 is enable, 2 is disable, 3 is delete.
set snmpipaccesstbl 2 status 2

MP.11 and MP.11a Installation and Management
Chapter 2. Installation 122
Chapter 7. Procedures
This chapter contains a set of procedures, as described in the following table:
Procedure Description
TFTP Server Setup Prepares the TFTP server for transferring files to and from the MP.11/a. This
procedure is used by the other procedures that transfer files.
Image File Download Upgrades the embedded software.
Configuration Backup Saves the configuration of the MP.11/a.
Configuration Restore Restores a previous configuration through configuration file download.
Soft Reset to Factory
Default
Resets the MP.11/a to the factory default settings through the Web or
Command Line Interface.
Hard Reset to Factory
Default
In some cases, it may be necessary to revert to the factory default settings (for
example, if you cannot access the MP.11/a or you lost the password for the
Web Interface.
Force Reload Completely resets the MP.11/a and erases the embedded software. Use this
procedure only as a last resort if the MP.11/a does not boot and the “Hard
Reset to Factory Default” procedure did not help. If you perform a “Forced
Reload,” you must download a new image file as described in “Image File
Download with the Boot Loader.”
Image File Download
with the Boot Loader
If the MP.11/a does not contain embedded software, or the embedded software
is corrupt, you can use this procedure to download a new image file.
TFTP SERVER SETUP
To download or upload a file, you must connect to the computer with the TFTP server through the MP.11/a’s
Ethernet port. This can be any computer in the network or a computer connected to the MP.11/a with a cross-over
Ethernet cable. For information about installing the TFTP server, see “Installing Documentation and Software” on
page 19.
Ensure that the upload or download directory is correctly set, the required file is present in the directory, and the
TFTP server is running. The TFTP server must be running only during file upload and download. You can
check the connectivity between the MP.11/a and the TFTP server by pinging the MP.11/a from the computer that
hosts the TFTP server. The ping program should show replies from the MP.11/a.
MP.11 and MP.11/a Quick Install Guide
Chapter 7. Procedures 123
WEB INTERFACE IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD
In some cases, it may be necessary to upgrade the embedded software of the MP.11/a by downloading an image
file. To download an image file through the Web Interface:
1. Set up the TFTP server as described in “TFTP Server Setup” on page 122.
2. Access the MP.11/a as described in “Web Interface Overview” on page 25.
3. Click the Commands button and the Download tab.
4. Fill in the following details:
Server IP Address <IP address TFTP server>
File Name <image file name>
File Type Image
File Operation Download
5. Click OK to start the file transfer.
The MP.11/a downloads the image file. The TFTP server program should show download activity after a few
seconds. When the download is complete, the MP.11/a is ready to start the embedded software upon reboot.
CONFIGURATION BACKUP
You can back up the MP.11/a configuration by uploading the configuration file. You can use this file to restore
the configuration or to configure another MP.11/a (see “Configuration Restore” on page 124).

Chapter 7. Procedures 125
HARD RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULT
Indoor MP.11/a
If you cannot access the unit or you have lost its password, you can reset the MP.11/a to the factory default
settings. Resetting to default settings means you must configure the MP.11/a anew.
To reset to factory default settings, press and hold the RELOAD button on the MP.11/a unit for about 10 seconds.
The MP.11/a reboots and restores the factory default settings.
To access the MP.11/a see “Chapter 3. Management Overview” on page 23.
Outdoor MP.11/a
To reset to factory default settings, use an object such as a paper clip to press and hold the Reset button located
on the side of the power brick.
FORCED RELOAD
With Forced Reload, you reset the MP.11/a to the factory default settings and erase the embedded software. Use
this procedure only as last resort if the MP.11/a does not boot and the “Reset to Factory Defaults” procedure did
not help. If you perform a Forced Reload, you must download a new image file with the Boot Loader (see “Image
File Download with the Boot Loader” below).
Caution! The following procedure erases the embedded software of the MP.11/a. This software image
must be reloaded through an Ethernet connection with a TFTP server. The image filename to
be downloaded can be configured with either ScanTool through the Ethernet interface or with
the Boot Loader CLI through the serial port to make the MP.11/a functional again.
To do a forced reload:
1. Press the RESET button on the MP.11/a unit; the MP.11/a resets and the LEDs flash.
2. Immediately press and hold the RELOAD button on the MP.11/a unit for about 20 seconds. Now image and
configuration are deleted from the unit.
3. Follow the procedure “Image File Download with the Boot Loader” to download an image file.
MP.11 and MP.11/a Quick Install Guide
Chapter 7. Procedures 126
IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD WITH THE BOOTLOADER
The following procedures download an image file to the MP.11/a after the embedded software has been erased
with Forced Reload or when the embedded software cannot be started by the Boot Loader.
A new image file can be downloaded to the MP.11/a with ScanTool or the Command Line Interface through the
MP.11/a serial port. In both cases, the file is transferred through Ethernet with TFTP. Because the CLI serial port
option requires a serial RS-232C cable, Proxim recommends the ScanTool option.
Download with ScanTool
To download an image file with the ScanTool:
1. Set up the TFTP server as described in “TFTP Server Setup” on page 122.
2. Run ScanTool on a computer that is connected to the same LAN subnet as the MP.11/a. ScanTool scans the
subnet for MP.11/a units and displays the found units in the main window. If in Forced Reload, ScanTool
does not find the device until the MP.11/a bootloader times out, and the Power LED turns RED and the
Ethernet LED goes OFF. Click Rescan to re-scan the subnet and update the display.
3. Select the MP.11/a to which you want to download an image file and click Change.
4. Ensure that IP Address Type Static is selected and fill in the following details:
º Password
º IP Address and Subnet Mask of the MP.11/a.
º TFTP Server IP Address and, if necessary, the Gateway IP Address of the TFTP server.
º Image File Name of the file with the new image.
5. Click OK to start the file transfer.
The MP.11/a downloads the image file. The TFTP server program should show download activity after a few
seconds. When the download is complete, the LED pattern should return to Forced Reload state. the
MP.11/a is ready to start the embedded software.
6. Press and release the Reset button. It may take several seconds to cycle through the Forced Reload LED
pattern and through the initialization LED sequence.
After a Forced Reload procedure, the MP.11/a returns to factory default settings and must be reconfigured.
ScanTool can be used to set the system name and IP address.
To access the MP.11/a see “Chapter 3. Management Overview” on page 23.

º Netscape version 6.0 or later.
3. Ensure that you are not using a proxy server for the connection with your Web browser.
4. Ensure that you have not exceeded the maximum number of Web Interface or CLI sessions.
5. Double-check the physical network connections. Use a well-known unit to ensure the network connection is
properly functioning.
6. Perform network infrastructure troubleshooting (check switches, routers, and so on).
SETUP AND CONFIGURATION ISSUES
The following issues relate to setup and configuration problems.
Lost the MP.11/a Password
If you lost your password, you must reset the MP.11/a to the default settings. See “Hard Reset to Factory Default”
on page 125. The default password is public.
If you record your password, keep it in a safe place.
The MP.11/a Responds Slowly
If the MP.11/a takes a long time to become available, it could mean that:
• No DHCP server is available.
• The IP address of the MP.11/a is already in use.
Verify that the IP address is assigned only to the MP.11/a. Do this by switching off the MP.11/a and then
pinging the IP address. If there is a response to the ping, another device in the network is using the same IP
address. If the MP.11/a uses a static IP address, switching to DHCP mode could remedy this problem. Also
see “Setting the IP Address” on page 24.
• There is too much network traffic.
Web Interface Does Not Work
If you cannot connect to the MP.11/a Web server through the network:
1. Connect a computer to the serial port of the MP.11/a and check the HTTP status. The HTTP status can
restrict HTTP access at different interfaces. For more information, see “Serial Port” on page 30.
2. Open a command prompt window and enter:
ping <ip address MP.11> (for example ping 10.0.0.1)
If the MP.11/a does not respond, ensure that you have the correct IP address. If the MP.11/a responds, the
Ethernet connection is working properly, continue with this procedure.

MP.11 and MP.11a Installation and Management
Glossary 137
Glossary
Address Realm
An address realm is a network domain in which the
network addresses are uniquely assigned to entities such
that datagrams can be routed to them.
Application Level Gateway (ALG)
An Application Level Gateway is an application-specific
translation agent that provides the required transparency
for an application running on a host in a private network to
connect to its counterpart running on a host in the public
network. The NAT feature requires an ALG to support
certain applications.
ARP
The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is intended to find
the MAC address belonging to an IP address.
Authentication method
The process the MP.11/a uses to decide whether a station
that wants to register is allowed or not. IEEE 802.11
specifies two forms of authentication: open system and
shared key; WORP only supports shared key because of
security constraints.
Authentication server “Shared Secret”
This is a kind of password shared between the MP.11/a
and the RADIUS authentication server. This password is
used to encrypt important data exchanged between the
MP.11/a and the RADIUS server
Authentication server authentication port
This is a UDP port number (default is 1812), which is used
to connect to the authentication server for obtaining
authentication information.
Auto-Negotiation
A signaling method that lets each node define its
operational mode and detect the operational mode of the
adjacent node. Auto-negotiation can be used in dual-
function 10/100 Mbps Ethernet adapters. The process
happens out-of-band with no loss of network throughput.
Backbone
The central part of a network; the backbone network
connects all remote and sub networks to each other and to
the central infrastructure (such as the mail server, Internet
gateway, and so on).
Base
If an interface is running in Outdoor mode (WORP), it is
either a base or a subscriber interface. A base interface
controls the communication on the channel and is located
in the central part of the network cell. Multiple SUs can
connect to one base; two bases cannot communicate with
each other.
Broadcast Storm
A broadcast storm is a large series of broadcast packets
(most often caused by wrong network configuration) that
severely impact the network performance.
Client IP Address Pool
This a pool of IP addresses from which the MP.11/a can
assign IP addresses to clients, which perform a DHCP
Request.
Configuration Files
A configuration file contains the MP.11/a configuration
details. Configuration items include among others the IP
address and other network-specific values. Configuration
files may be uploaded to a TFTP server for backup and
downloaded into the MP.11/a for restoring the
configuration.
DHCP Relay Agent
A feature of the MP.11/a that intercepts DHCP requests
from clients and forwards them to a DHCP server. For the
client, the DHCP Relay Agent of the MP.11/a functions like
a DHCP server. This enables DHCP requests to pass
router boundaries; for example, it is not required to have a
DHCP server on every IP subnet.
Domain Name Server (DNS)
A domain name server is an Internet service that
translates domain names into IP addresses. For example,
www.ietf.org is translated into 4.17.168.6.
Download
Downloading a file means copying a file from a remote
server to a device or host. In case of the MP.11/a
downloading means transferring a file from a TFTP server
to the MP.11/a.
Downstream
Downstream means a data stream from the central part of
the network to the end user. See also upstream.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a method
to dynamically assign IP addresses. If DHCP is enabled,
the device or computer broadcasts a request that is
answered by a DHCP Server.
Encryption
Encryption is a means of coding data with a key before
sending it across a network. The same key must be used
to decode the information at the receiver. This way
prevents unauthorized access to the data that is send
across the network.
Ethernet
Ethernet is the most widely installed Local Area Network
(LAN) technology. The MP.11/a supports both 10 and 100
Mbps and half and full duplex.
Gateway
A gateway is network device that connects multiple (IP)
networks to each other. A gateway can perform protocol
conversion.
MP.11 and MP.11/a Quick Install Guide
Glossary 138
Group
A group is logical collection of network parameters. For
example, the System Group is composed of several
parameters and tables giving system information of the
MP.11/a. All items for a group are grouped under one tab
of the Web Interface and start with the same prefix for the
command line interface.
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is the protocol to
transport Web pages. When you access the Internet with
your browser, the HTTP protocol is used for data transport
(http://www.Tsunamiwireless.com). When you access the
MP.11/a using the Web Interface, HTTP is used to
transport the information.
ICMP
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is used by
computers and devices to report errors encountered
during processing packets, and to perform other IP-layer
functions, such as diagnostics (‘ping’).
Image
The image is the binary executable of the embedded
MP.11/a software. To update the MP.11/a you must
download a new image file.
IP Address
A unique numerical address of a computer attached to the
Internet or Intranet. An IP (Internet Protocol) address
consists of a network part and part for a host (computer)
number. An IP address is represented by four numbers in
the range 0 - 255 separated by dots: for example
10.0.10.1 and 172.21.43.214. See also subnet mask.
LAN
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network of limited size to
which computers and devices can connect so that they
can communicate with each other.
License file
A license file is used to enable certain features of the
MP.11/a. The MP.11/a already has a license file when it is
shipped. When more features become available, you can
purchase a license file and download it to the MP.11/a to
enable these additional features.
MAC
Media Access Control.
MAC Address
A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a globally
unique network device address, which is hardware bound.
It used to identify a network device in a LAN. A MAC
address is represented by six two-digit hexadecimal
numbers (0 - 9 and A - F) separated by colons: for
example 00:02:2D:47:1F:71 and 00:D0:AB:00:01:AC.
Management Information Block (MIB)
A Management Information Block (MIB) is a formal
description of a set of network objects that can be
managed with the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). A MIB can be loaded by a management
application so that it knows the MP.11/a specific objects.
Media Independent Interface (MII)
A standard interface between the MAC layer and any of
the three physical layers (100 Base-TX, 100 Base-T4, and
100 Base-FX) for Fast Ethernet, similar to the AUI
interface for traditional Ethernet.
Network Address Translation
Network Address Translation is a method by which IP
addresses are mapped from one address realm to
another, providing transparent routing to end hosts.
Network Mask
See subnet mask.
Parameter
A parameter is fundamental value that can be displayed
and changed. For example, the MP.11/a must have a
unique IP address and the PC Cards must know which
channels to use. You can view and change parameters
with the Web Interface, command line interface and
SNMP.
Password
The MP.11/a is password protected. To access the
MP.11/a you need to enter a password before you can
view or change its settings. The default password is
‘public’.
Ping
Ping is a basic Internet program that lets you verify if a
particular computer or device with a certain IP address is
reachable. If the computer or device receives the ping
packet, it responds which gives the ping program the
opportunity to display the round-trip time.
Remote
A remote is a base or a subscriber interface. For a base
interface, the number of remotes is the number of SUs
registered; for a subscriber interface, there is only one
remote, which is the base.
RIP
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is used between
routers to update routing information so that a router
automatically ‘knows’ which port to use for a certain
destination IP address.
Router
Routers forward packets from one network to another
based on routing information. A router uses a dynamic
routing protocol like RIP or static routes to base its
forwarding decision on.
ScanTool
A computer program that can be used to retrieve or set the
IP address of a locally connected MP.11/a.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
A protocol used for the communication between a network
management application and the devices it is managing.
The network management application is called the SNMP
manager; the devices it manages have implemented
SNMP agents. Not only the MP.11/a but also almost every
network device contains a SNMP agent. The manageable
objects of a device are arranged in a Management
Information Base, also called MIB. The Simple Network
Management Protocol (SNMP) allows managers and
agents to communicate for accessing these objects.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can be used to create
redundant networks (“hot standby”) and to prevent loops.
If enabled, spanning tree prevents loops by disabling
redundant links; if a link fails, it can automatically enable a
backup link.

Subnet Mask
A subnet mask is a bit mask that defines which part of an
IP address is used for the network part and which part for
a host (computer) number. A subnet mask is like an IP
address represented by four numbers in the range 0 - 255
separated by dots. When the IP address 172.17.23.14 has
a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the network part is
172.17.23 of the host number is 14. See also IP address.
Subscriber Unit
If an interface is running in outdoor mode (WORP), it is
either a base or a subscriber interface. Subscriber
interface behavior is controlled by the base to which it is
registered. SUs are located in the remote locations of a
network cell. Multiple SUs can connect to one base; two
SUs cannot communicate with each other. See also
WORP and base.
Table
Tables hold parameters for several related items. For
example, you can add several potential managers to the
SNMP IP access table. Tables can be displayed using
with the Web Interface, command line interface and
SNMP.
Topology
Topology is the physical layout of network components
(cable, stations, gateways, hubs, and so on).
Transparent Routing
Transparent routing refers to routing a datagram between
disparate address realms, by modifying address contents
in the IP header to be valid in the address realm into which
the datagram is routed.
Trap
A trap is used within SNMP to report an unexpected or
unallowable condition.
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a lightweight
protocol for transferring files that is like a simple form of
File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A TFTP client is
implemented on the MP.11/a; using the upload and
download commands, the MP.11/a can respectively copy
a file to or from a TFTP server. TFTP server software is
provided on the MP.11/a CD-ROM.
Upload
Uploading a file means copying a file from a network
device to a remote server. In case of the MP.11/a
uploading means transferring a file from the MP.11/a to a
TFTP server. See also download.
Upstream
Upstream means a data stream from the end users to the
central part of the network. See also downstream.
UTP
Unshielded Twisted Pair
WEP
The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm is the
standard encryption method used to protect wireless
communication from eavesdropping.
WORP
The Wireless Outdoor Router Protocol (WORP) was
designed to optimize long distance links and multipoint
networks with Hidden Node effect to eliminate collisions
and loss of bandwidth.
