6.6.1.2.8 DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically assigns IP addresses on a
network.
Enable/disable DHCP by clicking the appropriate radio button.
•
When DHCP is enabled, BlueGate 1000’s IP address is obtained from the DHCP
server.
•
When DHCP is disabled, fixed IP addresses are read from BlueGate 1000’s
on-board NVRAM.
NOTE: If DHCP is enabled BlueGate 1000 ignores the IP address(es) stored in its NVRAM.
6.6.1.2.9 NAT
NAT (Network Address Translation) is an Internet standard that allows a network to use
one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a different set of addresses for external
traffic.
BlueGate 1000 handles address translations between the LAN (external) and the
Bluetooth devices (internal) connected to BlueGate 1000.
Enable/disable NAT by clicking the appropriate radio button.
•
If NAT is enabled, BlueGate 1000 automatically assigns an IP address to each
connected Bluetooth device.
•
If NAT is disabled
and
:
§
DHCP is enabled, Bluetooth devices get their IP address from the DHCP
server.
§
DHCP is disabled, the IP address for each Bluetooth device must be
configured in BlueGate 1000’s NVRAM.
The table at the bottom of the Configuration > Setup (BlueGate) internal Web page
shows the possible combinations of DHCP and NAT enabled/disabled.
6.6.1.2.10 Encryption
Encryption is the translation of data into a secret code. Encryption is a link-level security
feature of Bluetooth; it requires no user input.
When enabled, encryption only applies to data transferred between Bluetooth devices—
data transferred via the network is not encrypted.
To enable encryption, authentication must also be enabled.
If authentication is not
enabled, the encryption setting is ignored and the connection is not encrypted.
Enable/disable Encryption by clicking the appropriate radio button.
NOTE: Do not enable Encryption if the connecting device does not support security.
6.6.1.2.11 Point-to-Multipoint
Point-to-Multipoint refers to the ability of a device to connect to more than one remote
device at the same time.
BlueGate 1000’s point-to-multipoint ability, when enabled, is limited to seven devices.
To enable/disable point-to-multipoint click the appropriate radio button.
