1.3.7 Selecting Internet Interface
Internet interface means the network Ailonet uses to connect to outside world. Quite often the in-
terface is connected to Internet via Internet Service Provider. From Ailonet’s side there can only be
one external interface, which is one of the following:
–
Ethernet
–
802.11b
Internet interface is selected in Ailonet user interface by browsing to
SETTINGS->Internet Inter-
face
.
Internet interface can not be used for local/personal area network (LAN/PAN) at the same time. For
example if Ethernet is selected to be Internet interface, only Bluetooth and 802.11b can be used as
local interfaces (for LAN/PAN), if network traffic is intended to be routed through Ailonet.
1.3.8 Security
All the wireless interfaces are unprotected in factory settings in order to ease the initial setup. First
thing for administrator is to make sure the wireless connections are safe and unauthorized parties
can not use them.
Administrator and Dial-in Passwords:
Administrator’s username (
admin
) and password are common for all interfaces. For dial-in connec-
tion through a modem, PPP authentication username (
dialin
) and password are separate from ad-
ministrator’s password. Change both of these passwords by browsing to
SETTINGS->Password
.
Protecting Bluetooth Connections:
Bluetooth security features can be configured at
SETTINGS->Bluetooth Security
. There are three
different security features available: Encryption, PIN code and Mode. PIN code usage is defined by
the authentication selection on the top of screen:
–
No authentication means that connection without prior pairing is allowed
–
Authentication means that PIN code is requested and pairing required
–
Authentication & Encryption means that PIN code is requested, pairing required
and the data transfers are encrypted if one of the connecting parties request it
PIN code is set by entering the code into “New PIN” and “Re-enter PIN” fields. Old PIN code must
be entered into “Old PIN” field. Refer to CONFIGURATION STATUS LIST – AILONET SAMPLE
INFORMATION for correct PIN number. Maximum length for PIN code is 16 characters and it can
contain numbers and letters.
Mode controls how Ailonet advertises itself in Bluetooth network. Non Discoverable/Non Connect-
able means that Ailonet do not respond to Bluetooth inquiries and do not allow incoming connec-
tions. Connectable means that Ailonet allows incoming Bluetooth connections with earlier paired
devices, but does not respond to inquiries. Discoverable/Connectable means that it responds to
inquiries and allows incoming connections.
