Preface Chapter 1 1.1 Preface Before you begin Thank you for purchasing SpectraGuard Sensor (also referred to as Sensor). SpectraGuard Sensor works in conjunction with a SpectraGuard Enterprise Server to provide an air-tight cover to your corporate network. It monitors the 802.11 a/b/g medium and provides information to the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. Please read the EULA before installing the Sensor.
Package Contents Chapter 2 Package Contents This chapter gives you a list of the product package contents. Please make sure that the following contents form a part of the SpectraGuard Sensor package. If the package is not complete, please contact AirTight Networks, Inc., or return the package to the vendor or dealer where you purchased it.
Overview Chapter 3 Overview This chapter provides an overview of the SpectraGuard Sensor and describes in detail about the following: Port and Power Connections Status LEDs 3.1 Port and Power Connections The rear panel of the SpectraGuard Sensor has port and power connectors that enable you to power up the device and connect it to the network or a computer.
Overview Line Interface (CLI) sessions. Parity: None Stop Bits: 1 Flow Control: None Ethernet This enables the device to be connected to the wired LAN through a switch or a hub. This connection allows the SpectraGuard Sensor to communicate with the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. RJ-45 10/100 Mbps/Ethernet Note: The Connection settings mentioned in Table 1 above are the same for Hyper Terminal and minicom. 3.
Overview Table 2 LED details LED LED Color Meaning of LED LED1 or Solid Green This indicates that the Sensor is receiving power and is working normally. There are no errors. Check LED2, LED3, and LED4 to determine the status of the device. Solid Yellow This indicates that the Sensor has encountered an error. Check LED2, LED3, and LED4 to determine the error. Off This indicates that the Sensor is not receiving power.
Overview LED4 Off If LED1 is green, it indicates an invalid state that should not occur. Try restarting the Sensor. If the problem persists, please contact support@airtightnetworks.net. Solid Green If LED1 is green, it indicates that the Sensor is scanning successfully on 802.11b/g (2.4 GHz frequency band). or If LED1 is yellow, it indicates that the Sensor is experiencing a software related error. This could be related to the Sensor software that connects to the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. 802.
Installing SpectraGuard Sensor Chapter 4 Installing SpectraGuard Sensor Caution : The installation must be executed by technical staff. SpectraGuard Sensor is the probe that monitors your network and communicates with the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server to guard your corporate network against over-the-air attacks. The Sensor must be plugged to your corporate network to perform the above operations. Installing and configuring the SpectraGuard Sensor on the network is automatic.
Installing SpectraGuard Sensor Wait for two minutes! Check the Status LEDs. You will see LED1 turn yellow and LED2 turn green. This means that SpectraGuard Sensor is powered on correctly, and is waiting to be connected to the network. 4.2 Connecting to the Network Ensure that the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server is already running on your network. To connect SpectraGuard Sensor to the network, perform the following steps: 1.
Installing SpectraGuard Sensor Wait for two minutes! Check the Status LEDs. If all LEDs glow green, then the SpectraGuard Sensor is operational and connected to the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. The SpectraGuard Sensor is configured and ready to go. Check your SpectraGuard Enterprise Console to ensure that this SpectraGuard Sensor has been detected. You need not read this installation guide further.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Chapter 5 Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Important! If the installation in Chapter 4 was successful, stop! You do not need to configure SpectraGuard Sensor manually. In this chapter you will learn how to manually configure SpectraGuard Sensor. The Sensor can be configured in two ways: Through the Web Interface (http) Through the Command Line Interface (CLI) You can choose either method to configure the SpectraGuard Sensor.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor 4. Change Discovery Settings Manual configuration can be done through a Web Interface (http) or Command Line Interface (CLI). 5.3 Configuring SpectraGuard Sensor through Web Interface (http) Configuration using Web Interface is done using the network connection or using the crossover cable connected between your machine and the Sensor.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Figure 7 Login Screen To log in, you have to perform the following steps: 1. Set your laptop as per the same subnet settings and a different IP address (ignore if already done). 2. Type the correct IP address obtained from the DHCP Server in the Web Interface, for Web configuration using the Ethernet cable. Type the address 192.168.1.245 in the Web Interface, for Web (http) configuration using the crossover cable. 3.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Figure 8 Password Settings Screen The Password Settings Screen as shown in Figure 8 above appears by default and allows the user to change the password. Enter the old password and the new password and click Apply. Note: If you do not change the password the first time you log in, then the Password Settings Screen appears every time you log into SpectraGuard Sensor. Once you change the password this screen does not reappear.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor settings are required so that the SpectraGuard Sensor can communicate with the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. Figure 10 Network Settings Screen There are three main sections under the Network Settings tab. MAC Settings IP Address Settings Route Settings MAC Settings Ethernet MAC address shows the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the SpectraGuard Sensor Ethernet Interface. This is a unique address assigned to every network interface.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Get IP over DHCP: This field is checked by default. This enables SpectraGuard Sensor to get an IP address automatically from a DHCP Server. If this field is unchecked, you can set the IP address manually. IP Address: This field can be set only if the Get IP over DHCP field is unchecked. This field sets the IP address of the SpectraGuard Sensor. The IP address should belong to the network segment on which this SpectraGuard Sensor is to be connected.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Figure 11 Discovery Settings Screen There are two main sections under Discovery Settings: Auto Discover SpectraGuard Enterprise Server Manually Discover SpectraGuard Enterprise Server Auto Discover SpectraGuard Enterprise Server You can set up the SpectraGuard Sensor to automatically discover and connect to the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Clicking Reset to Factory Defaults resets the configuration parameters to the factory default settings. In this case, all the configuration settings, including the password settings will be restored to factory defaults. Click this button, only when you want SpectraGuard Sensor to behave like a brand new SpectraGuard Sensor. 5.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Figure 13 Opening HyperTerminal Note: If you are using a Linux laptop, you can use minicom to connect to the Command Line Interface (CLI). 2. Defining a New Connection Once HyperTerminal opens, Figure 14 will appear by default. You have to name the new connection, so that your connection is recognized. You can also select an icon to identify your new connection.
Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Figure 14 New HyperTerminal Connection Type the desired name for the connection. For example, ëSpectraGuard Sensorí under the Name field and click OK. 3. Adding Connection Details Select the appropriate serial port from the Connect using drop-down list and click OK.
