Fast Track Installation Guide
Tip:
Disconnect your computer from the MP-1xx or from the hub / switch (depending on the
6.
connection method you used in step 1).
Reconnect the MP-1xx and your PC (if necessary) to the network.
7.
Restore your PC's IP address & subnet mask to what they originally were. If necessary,
8.

Assigning an IP Address Using BootP
Tip 1:
Tip 2:
To assign an IP address using BootP, take these 12 steps:
Open the BootP application (supplied with the MP-1xx software package).
1.
Click on the Edit Clients icon;
2.
the 'Client Configuration' screen is displayed.
Click on the Add New Client icon;
3.
a client with blank parameters is displayed
In the 'Client MAC' field, enter the MAC address of the gateway. The MAC address is printed
4.
on a label located on the base of the MP-1xx.
Verify that the box to the right of the 'Client MAC' field is checked. This enables the particular
5.
client in the BootP tool (if the client is disabled, no replies are sent to BootP requests).
In the 'Client Name' field, enter a descriptive name for this client so that it is easier to
6.
remember which gateway the record refers to. For example, this name could refer to the
location of the gateway.
In the 'IP' field, enter the IP address you want to assign the gateway. Use the normal dotted
7.
decimal format.
In the 'Subnet' field, enter the subnet mask you want to assign the gateway. Use the normal
8.
dotted decimal format. Ensure that the subnet mask is correct. If the address is incorrect, the
gateway may not function until the entry is corrected and a BootP reset is applied.
In the 'Gateway' field, enter the IP address for the default gateway. If you do not know the IP
9.
address for the default gateway, contact your network administrator.
Click Apply to save this entry to the list of clients.
10.
Click OK; the 'Client Configuration' screen is closed.
11.
Reset the MP-1xx physically causing it to use BootP; the MP-1xx changes its network
12.
parameters to the values provided by the BootP.
Version 4.4
Record and retain the IP address and subnet mask you assign the MP-1xx.
Do the same when defining new username or password. If the Embedded
Web Server is unavailable (for example, if you've lost your username and
password), use the BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access the device,
"reflash" the load and reset the password (refer to the MP-1xx User's Manuals
for detailed information on using a BootP/TFTP configuration utility to access
the device).
BootP procedure can also be performed using any standard compatible
BootP server.
You can also use BootP to load the auxiliary files to the MP-1xx (refer to the
Mediant 2000 User's Manual).
