Initialization; Scantool - Proxim ORiNOCO AP-800 Installation And Management Manual

2.6 Initialization

You can initialize the device either through CLI commands, Web Interface or an SNMP Interface.
•
To initialize the device by using CLI commands, connect a serial RS-232 cable to the Serial Port of the device.
•
To initialize the device by 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 either have a static IP or dynamic IP
address. By default, the device obtains its IP address automatically through DHCP (dynamic IP address); or else, you must set
the IP Address manually (static IP address).

2.6.1 ScanTool

Proxim's ScanTool (Answer ID 1735) is a software utility that runs on Microsoft's Windows machine. By 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 on the
network. The ScanTool automatically detects the devices installed on the network segment, regardless of the 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 IP Address type is set to Dynamic. If there is no response from the DHCP server, then the
device will fall back to the IP Address 169.254.128.132.
