1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. The Bluetooth Technology
Bluetooth is a worldwide standard for the wireless exchange of data between two
compatible devices. It utilities short-distance radio link technology and replaces the
traditional cable connections to enable wireless connections between desktop and
laptop computers, cellular phones, scanners, digital cameras, printers and other
devices. You can now transfer files between two computer, dial up to the internet using
the host computer’s modem or a cell phone, or even share a network connection
without literally attaching your cables to a device. To put it simply, Bluetooth unplugs all
our cables and lets you forget about cable clutter for a change.
1.2. What is Access Point
The Bluetooth Access Point is part of a family of network access solutions that create
Local Mobile Networks (LMN) of high-speed wireless connectivity. It is provides a
communications link to local networks and the Internet for mobile devices equipped
with Bluetoothwireless technology.

If you do not have a DHCP-enabled network, or you would like to manually set up your
Access Point’s network configurations
eg.
its static IP address, then you can use the
Web Interface’s various advanced configuration pages such as
Network, Bluetooth
and
Maintenance
.
3.1.1. Accessing the Web Interface
If you have access to a DHCP server, it will assign all the parameters needed for your
Access Point to connect to a network. Assignment through DHCP is the default setting.
There are two simple ways to find out the IP address of your Access Point that you will
need to access the Web Interface:
Using your Bluetooth Client:
1. Start the Bluetooth application in your client.
2. Search for devices
3. Choose Bluetooth Access Point from a list of found Bluetooth devices and
conduct service inquiry
Your client will also display its IP Address next to the Access Point’s Bluetooth name.

3.1.3. Network
This is an advanced setup page for the Network settings of Bluetooth Access Point.
Here you can set the Bluetooth name for your Access Point. The factory default name
is
Bluetooth AP
. By default, the IP Address of Bluetooth Access Point is appended to
the Bluetooth name that will appear on Bluetooth clients. This is especially a useful
feature to identify the IP address assigned automatically by the DHCP server.
Also under
Network
you can decide which method to use for Bluetooth Access Point’s
IP address setting: Automatic through the DHCP server or Manual. If your IP Address
Mode is
Automatic
, then you don’t need to set up the Default IP Address, Default
Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway boxes.
If, however, you would like to set up a
Manual
IP address for Bluetooth Access Point
(or if your network does not have a DHCP server). You will need to consult your
network administrator for a unique IP address on the network to enter into the
Default
IP Address
box replacing the factory default 192.168.1.120. Your network
administrator will also give you the correct values for
Default Subnet Mask
(factory
default 255.255.255.0)
and
Default Gateway
(factory default 192.168.1.1)
to enter into
the appropriate boxes.
Finally you may decide to disallow Bluetooth clients to be able to access to the Web
Interface. This security feature will prevent unauthorized configuration from the
wireless side thereby restricting Web Interface access to the Ethernet side.

3.1.4. Advanced Setup without DHCP
When Bluetooth Access Point is powered up, it automatically looks for a DHCP server
in the network to get an IP address for itself so that the Access Point is ready to use
without user intervention. However, if there is no DHCP server in the environment,
Bluetooth Access Point will reset to its factory default static IP address
192.168.1.120
,
and will require manual setup for your network.
Note:
If your network already uses the non-routable 192.168.1.X with the 192.168.1.1
Gateway Address, and if 192.168.1.120 is not taken by other elements in the network,
you do not necessarily need to change any settings. Your Access Point will work
immediately.
The quickest way to change the IP Address of the Access Point is through the Locator
utility. Simply connect the Access Point to your PC through a
cross-over
CAT5
Ethernet cable (or connect both Bluetooth Access Point and your PC to a hub through
normal Ethernet cables). Running Locator will enable you to discover the Access Point
immediately without a need to adjust the PCs subnet to that of the Access Point’s.
Then you can highlight the discovered Access Point and hit the
Configure
button to
manually set the network parameters for the Access Point through the
Use the
Following IP Address
section. Please refer to the
Locator™ Management and
Configuration
section for more information.

2. Change the network settings of your PC
Go to Start>Control Panel>Network Connections>
Click on LAN Connection (your system tray may have a little icon for the LAN
connection)
3. Click on Properties
4. Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
5. Choose Use the Following IP Address
6. Temporarily set IP address to 192.168.1.X (where X can be any 3 digit number
other than 120)
7. Temporarily set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 (where X can be any 3 digit
number other than 120)
8. Temporarily set Default Gateway to 192.168.1.1
Now you will be able to connect to the Web Interface of the Access Point by typing
192.168.1.120 on your browser. Please refer to the previous
Network
section for the
manual setting of the IP Address.
Warning:
Do not forget to change the network settings of your PC back to what they
were originally in your network.
3.1.5. Bluetooth
This is an advanced setup page for the Network settings for the Bluetooth clients
connecting to Bluetooth Access Point along with the Access Point’s Bluetooth security
settings.
Warning:
If you have chosen automatic DHCP-assigned network settings for the
Access Point, you are strongly encouraged to leave the Bluetooth client IP and DNS
addresses
Automatic
as well. If you decide (strongly discouraged) to set the Bluetooth
Client IP Addresses to static, you
must
choose the same subnet of your Access Point
IP Address.

You can leave the IP Addresses for Bluetooth clients
Automatic
even if the IP Address
of Bluetooth Access Point is set manually. You may, however, decide to set them
manually specifying a starting static IP Address in the same subnet of your Access
Point’s IP Address.
Warning:
If the IP Address of the Access Point is
Static
(eg. 192.168.1.120)
, and IP
Addresses of the Bluetooth clients are
Automatic
, then you have to make sure that
the 7 (or number of maximum allowable) IP Addresses after the IP Address of
Bluetooth Access Point (
eg
. 192.168.1.121 to 128) are unique.
Warning:
If the IP Address of the Access Point is
Static
(eg. 192.168.1.120)
, and IP
Addresses of the Bluetooth clients are
Static
, then you have to make sure that the 7
(or number of maximum allowable) IP Addresses starting with your specified range are
unique.
You can choose to allow up to 7 simultaneous Bluetooth client connections to the
Access Point.
By default, Bluetooth Access Point is in non-secure mode. Any Bluetooth client may
connect to it without encrypted authentication. However you are strongly encouraged
to use the Bluetooth passkey. By default the
Bluetooth passkey
is set to “0000.” For
more security, please change this passkey.
In order to connect to the Access Point, the Bluetooth client will prompt the user to
enter the
Bluetooth passkey
thereby preventing unauthorized access to the Network.

I cannot access the Internet
First, make sure that your Bluetooth client is connected to the Access Point. You
should be able to successfully "ping" the Access Point (from a shell or command
prompt) at its IP address. Or alternatively, you should be able to connect to the Web
Interface. If you cannot successfully "ping" the Access Point, review your client setup
manual to determine how to connect properly.
If you can successfully "ping" the Access Point, next try to "ping" the default gateway.
The IP address of the default gateway is found on the
Information
page of the Web
Interface (or the Configure page of Locator). If you cannot successfully "ping" the
default gateway, consult your system administrator to determine the correct default
gateway address.
If you can successfully "ping" the default gateway, try to ping an IP address on the
Internet,
such as a Domain Name Server (DNS). The IP address of a DNS is found on
Information
page of the Web Interface. If you cannot successfully "ping" an IP
address on the Internet, your network may not have access to the Internet or it may be
blocked by a firewall. Consult your network administrator to find our more about your
network environment.
If you still are having problems accessing the Internet from your browser, you may
have to
enter proxy information in the browser options. For proxy information, consult your
network administrator.
The Power/Status LED does not light/blink
Make sure the power cable is securely connected to the Access Point and securely
plugged
into a power outlet. Make sure the power supply has the required voltage.
The Power/Status LED does not light after blinking
The
Power/Status
LED may take some time to light if there are problems
communicating with
the DHCP server. Once the Access Point aborts its attempt to get an IP address from
the
server, the
Power/Status
LED should light indicating system readiness.

The LAN Link/Activity LED does not light
Make sure the RJ45 cable connection at the side of the Access Point is secure and
that the
connection to the wall or device (e.g. a hub) is secure, as well. If the
LAN Link
LED
still does
not light, make sure the upstream device to which the cable is connected is working
properly.
If these steps do not work, try using another RJ45 cable as the current cable may be
faulty.
The Access Point has an invalid IP address
Follow the guidelines described in this manual to assign an IP address to the Access
Point.
I cannot successfully ping the Access Point over the local network
Make sure the cables for both the Access Point and the computer you are using are
securely
connected. Next, determine whether the computer you are using to "ping" the Access
Point is able to successfully "ping" other devices on your network. If all cables are
securely connected and you can successfully "ping" other devices on the network,
reboot the Access Point, either through the management pages or by unplugging and
plugging in the power connector.
I cannot connect to the Access Point using my client device.
Make sure that the client is Bluetooth 1.1 compliant and that it supports the LAN
Access Profile (LAP). If either of these two conditions are not met, the client
will
not
work with the Access Point.
However, your client device supports the Dial-up Networking Profile (DUN), it may be
able to connect to the Access Point.
I cannot log into the management interface
If you are attempting to log in over the network, make sure you have the correct IP
address.
You can use the Locator utility to find it.
