Once the initial IP address is set, record the provisioning information in sections [A] and [C] of Appendix E, Simulator Configuration Worksheet ) for the Mobile IP enabled wireless device that you plan to test. A manufacturer's programming tool is typically required to access this information.
After pointing your web browser to http://<mobipsimaddress>, where <mobipsimaddress> is the address recorded in section [B] of the worksheet, you should see the page indicated in Figure 3.1, “Mobile IP network simulator page”. Access to the simulator documentation, debugging and operation logs, copyright information, and demonstration web content are also available on this page.
Click on the menu link to reach the main configuration menu page shown in Figure 3.2, “Configuration menu page”. From here the specific forms used for Network, PPP, Mobile IP, and NAT configuration may be reached. Additionally, the present configuration may be downloaded to the controlling PC, or a previously saved configuration file uploaded to the MOB-IP-SIM. Two commands are also accessed here, namely and .
Clicking on the reboots the MOB-IP-SIM. This action, which is equivalent to a simulator power cycle, will restart the simulator following a operating system upgrade and reset the machine to the web-based configuration state. Clicking on the will return all configuration parameters altered by manual or scripted AT commands to the web-based configuration state. Remember that the web-based configuration sets all parameters aside from realdate, PPP link, and script tcpdump commands and that the web-based configuration values will be reloaded following a MOB-IP-SIM power-cycle, , or commands.
The next steps walk through each configuration form. You should carefully review each form during the initial setup so that you will know where the parameters are stored if you need to modify something later. The other network settings can be configured or reconfigured once the MOB-IP-SIM™ has a valid IP network address.
