Installing

 

SS

300

AT

C60

 

When

 

the

 

SS

300

AT

C

60

 

functions

 

as

 

a

 

WIPS

 

sensor,

 

it

 

monitors

 

your

 

network

 

and

 

communicates

 

with

 

the

 

Server

 

to

 

guard

 

your

 

corporate

 

network

 

against

 

over

the

air

 

attacks.

  

When

 

the

 

SS

300

AT

C

60

 

functions

 

as

 

an

 

access

 

point(AP),

 

clients

 

can

 

connect

 

to

 

your

 

corporate

 

network

 

in

 

wireless

 

mode

 

through

 

the

 

APs.

  

The

 

SS

300

AT

C

60

 

must

 

be

 

plugged

 

to

 

your

 

corporate

 

network

 

to

 

perform

 

the

 

above

 

operations.

 

As

 

a

 

WIPS

 

sensor,

 

SS

300

AT

C

60

 

can

 

be

 

configured

 

in

 

one

 

of

 

the

 

following

 

two

 

modes:

 

• 

Sensor

 

Mode:

 

This

 

is

 

the

 

default

 

mode.

 

In

 

this

 

mode,

 

the

 

Sensor

 

should

 

be

 

connected

 

into

 

a

 

trunk

 

port

 

(802.1Q

 

capable)

 

on

 

a

 

switch.

 

It

 

then

 

monitors

 

multiple

 

VLANs

 

that

 

are

 

configured

 

on

 

that

 

trunk

 

port

 

and

 

are

 

chosen

 

by

 

the

 

user

 

using

 

the

 

ND

 

CLI.

 

The

 

wireless

 

interface

 

of

 

the

 

Sensor

 

is

 

enabled.

 

Similarly,

 

a

 

SS

300

AT

C

60

 

can

 

monitor

 

up

 

to

 

16

 

VLANs.

 

• 

Network

 

Detector

 

(ND)

 

Mode:

 

This

 

mode

 

needs

 

to

 

be

 

explicitly

 

configured.

 

In

 

this

 

mode,

 

the

 

ND

 

should

 

be

 

connected

 

into

 

a

 

trunk

 

port

 

(802.1Q

 

capable)

 

on

 

a

 

switch.

 

It

 

then

 

monitors

 

multiple

 

VLANs

 

that

 

are

 

configured

 

on

 

that

 

trunk

 

port

 

and

 

are

 

chosen

 

by

 

the

 

user

 

using

 

the

 

ND

 

CLI.

 

The

 

wireless

 

interface

 

of

 

the

 

ND

 

is

 

disabled.

 

A

 

SS

300

AT

C

60

 

can

 

monitor

 

upto

 

100

 

VLANs.

 

Important:

 

To

 

prevent

 

abuse

 

and

 

intrusion

 

by

 

Non

authorized

 

personnel,

 

it

 

is

 

extremely

 

important

 

to

 

install

 

the

 

Sensor

 

such

 

that

 

it

 

is

 

difficult

 

to

 

unplug

 

the

 

device

 

from

 

the

 

network

 

or

 

from

 

the

 

power

 

outlet.

 

4.1

 

Zero

 

Configuration

 

of

 

SS

300

AT

C

60

 

as

 

Sensor

 

Zero

 

configuration

 

is

 

supported

 

if

 

the

 

following

 

conditions

 

are

 

satisfied:

 

• 

The

 

device

 

is

 

in

 

‘Sensor’

 

mode.

 

• 

A

 

DNS

 

entry

 

‘wifi

security

server’

 

is

 

set

 

up

 

on

 

all

 

DNS

 

Servers.

 

This

 

entry

 

should

 

point

 

to

 

the

 

IP

 

address

 

of

 

the

 

Server.

 

By

 

default,

 

the

 

device

 

looks

 

for

 

the

 

Server

 

DNS

 

entry

 

‘wifi

security

server’.

 

Sensor

 

is

 

placed

 

on

 

a

 

subnet

 

that

 

is

 

DHCP

 

enabled.

 

Important:

 

If

 

a

 

Sensor

 

is

 

placed

 

on

 

a

 

network

 

segment

 

that

 

is

 

separated

 

from

 

the

 

Server

 

by

 

a

 

firewall,

 

you

 

must

 

first

 

open

 

port

 

3851

 

for

 

User

 

Datagram

 

Protocol

 

(UDP)

 

and

 

Transport

 

Control

 

Protocol

 

(TCP)

 

bidirectional

 

traffic

 

on

 

that

 

firewall.

 

This

 

port

 

number

 

is

 

assigned

 

to

 

AirTight

®

 

Networks.

 

If

 

multiple

 

Sensors

 

are

 

set

 

up

 

to

 

connect

 

to

 

multiple

 

Servers,

 

zero

 

configuration

 

is

 

not

 

possible.

 

In

 

this

 

case

 

manual

 

configuration

 

of

 

Sensors

 

is

 

needed.

 

Refer

 

to

 

Manually

 

Configuring

 

the

 

Sensor

 

for

 

details.

 

The

 

steps

 

to

 

install

 

the

 

Sensor

 

with

 

no

 

configuration

 

(zero

 

configuration)

 

are

 

as

 

follows.

 

• 

Mount

 

the

 

Sensor

 

• 

Power

 

up

 

the

 

Sensor

 

• 

Connect

 

the

 

Sensor

 

to

 

the

 

network

Connecting

 

SS

300

AT

C

This

 

involves

 

mounting

 

the

 

Sensor/AP

 

Combo,

 

powering

 

it

 

up,

 

and

 

connecting

 

it

 

to

 

the

 

network.

 

4.2.1

 

Mount

 

SS

300

AT

C

60

 

Take

 

a

 

configured

 

SS

300

AT

C

60,

 

that

 

is,

 

make

 

sure

 

that

 

the

 

device

 

is

 

given

 

a

 

static

 

IP

 

or

 

the

 

settings

 

have

 

been

 

changed

 

for

 

DHCP.

 

Note

 

the

 

MAC

 

address

 

and

 

the

 

IP

 

address

 

of

 

the

 

device

 

in

 

a

 

safe

 

place

 

before

 

it

 

is

 

installed

 

in

 

a

 

hard

to

reach

 

location.

 

The

 

MAC

 

address

 

of

 

the

 

device

 

is

 

printed

 

on

 

a

 

label

 

at

 

the

 

bottom

 

of

 

the

 

product.

 

Recommended

:

 

You

 

should

 

label

 

the

 

devices

 

using

 

MAC

 

addresses

 

or

 

at

 

least

 

your

 

own

 

convention.

 

For

 

example,

 

use

 

serial

 

numbers,

 

so

 

that

 

you

 

can

 

easily

 

identify

 

the

 

devices.
