Wireless Connection
Many users will want to make adjustments to AirAura while listening to it in a
remote location such as out in a car in the station’s parking lot. This is easily
accomplished by using AirAura’s built-in 802.11b/g wireless capability.
Once powered up AirAura should show up in the PC’s list of available wireless
networks as an “On Demand” device and also an “Unsecured computer-to-
computer network”. The security of AirAura’s wireless interface is disabled by
default to ease first time connections in the field. The wireless interface’s security
can be reconfigured as desired by referring to the procedures documented in the
Appendix B.
Connecting wirelessly to the AirAura is simple.
Open the PC’s wireless connections dialog. AirAura should be listed.
Highlight AirAura and click on the Connect button at the bottom of the dialog.
A “Connect to unsecured network” prompt may appear. Click Yes.
The “Acquiring Network Address” message should appear next to the AirAura
in the list.
Once the status shows “Connected”, open GUI Lite and click on the Devices
button.
Click the Add button and the Add Device dialog will open.
Enter a name for AirAura (like AirAura Wireless)
Enter the IP address 192.168.2.100 (Factory default) and click OK.
Highlight the new device and click the Select button to the right.
Click on the GUI’s Online button
The AirAura GUI should connect to the AirAura and control and graphical
display activity should commence.
AirAura/Internet Security Concerns
AirAura’s wireless interface acts as a “web server” for configuration. While
AirAura’s wireless configuration
could be hacked, there is nothing in AirAura’s
signal processing available to hack. Nor is there a way to use a hacked wireless
interface to reach the wired side of the connected network (because the NAT
router in the wireless module can only route to ONE address – AirAura).
The first few AirAura’s are being shipped with Microsoft Windows XP running on
the front panel GUI while work on the Linux interface is completed. AirAura has
been factory configured to allow AirAura’s front panel to appear as “AirAura on
AirAura (192.168.1.201)” in My Network Places (Windows OS). In the event a
software upgrade becomes available before the Linux version is released we will
provide detailed instructions on how to perform the upgrade.
