3.3 TFTP Server

The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files on a network. You can upload configuration filefrom the device to the Personal Computer for backup or copying, and you can download configuration files or new software

images to the devices. The TFTP software is located on the installation CD. If a TFTP server is not configured and is runningyou will not be able to download and upload images, and configure files to/from the device. Remember that the TFTP servedoes not have to reside on the same server as ProximVision ES, it can reside on any Windows Personal Computer or Servethat is network accessible from ProximVision ES and Proxim devices. Note that you do not need a TFTP server running unlesyou want to transfer files to/from the device.

Check to see that TFTP is configured, to point to the directory containing the device image.

Ensure that the proper TFTP server device address, the proper device Image file name, and that the TFTP server iconnected.

Ensure that the TFTP server is configured to both transmit and receive files (on the TFTP servers Security tab), with nautomatic shutdown or time-out (on the Auto Close tab).

3.4 Telnet

Telnet allows you to access, configure and manage devices by using CLI commands.

Follow the following steps to access, configure and manage devices by using CLI Commands.

1. Make sure that your computer is reachable to the devices on the network.

NOTE: If you have not previously configured the device IP address and do not have a DHCP server on the network, thdevice will revert to its default IP address. AP devices, MP-81XX and QB-81XX devices will default t169.254.128.132; MP.11, MP.11HS and QB.11 devices will default to 10.0.0.1; MP.16 Base Station defaults t192.168.10.1; MP.16 Subscriber Station defaults to 192.168.10.2; GX800 (A-side) will default to 10.0.0.1 andGX800 (B-side) will default to 10.0.0.2

2. Click the Telnet icon available in the tool bar. The Telnet window appears. Alternatively, Telnet is also available othe right-click of a device.

3. Type the CLI user name and password. The default password is public. Please note that the CLI username is require

only for MP-81XX, QB-81XX, AP-800, AP-8000, AP-8000MR and GX800 devices. For all other devices, only CLpassword is required.

CLI password for Tsunami 8000 TDM IDU is admin.

In GX800, the CLI user name and password for Administrator user is admin andsecretrespectively; and foUser is userandtestrespectively.

NOTE:

By default, the Telnet Client is disabled in Windows 7. To enable the Telnet Client, follow these steps:

1. Open Control Panel.

2. Navigate to Programs.

3. In Programs, clickTurn Windows Features On or Off, and then on the list that appears, select the bobeside Telnet Client. Finally, clickOk.

Creating Group


5.1 Overview

Devices need to be configured to achieve optimal performance and network security. Individual configuration of each devicis a time consuming process and prone to errors. To address this issue, ProximVision ES allows group creation anconfiguration of devices under that group. This enables to configure all the devices of a particular group at one time. Th

devices of a particular group share certain common configuration settings.

5.2 Creating New Groups

ProximVision ES enables you to create a new user group under the default group - Root. Root group is the pre-defined grouunder which all the devices on the network are discovered. You can also create subgroups under the user-defined groups.

NOTE: With ProximVision ES, you can create as many different groups as desired but the hierarchy or the subgroupunder each group is restricted up to 3 levels.

To create a new user group,

1. Browse to the default group Root in the Device Tree, right-click and select Create User Group.
