v
suppliers, including without limitation valuable trade secrets. The Software is licensed and not sold to 
Customer, and no title or ownership to such Software or the Intellectual Property Rights embodied therein 
passes as a result of this EULA or any act pursuant to this EULA. The Software (and all Intellectual Property 
Rights therein) is the exclusive property of AirTight and its suppliers, and all rights in and to the Software not 
expressly granted to Customer in this EULA, are reserved. AirTight owns all copies of the Software, however 
made. Nothing in this EULA will be deemed to grant, by implication, estoppels or otherwise, a license under 
any of AirTight's existing or future patents (or the existing or future patents of its suppliers). The Software and 
related materials contain trade secrets of AirTight and Customer will not disclose the Software, Documentation 
or any other AirTight confidential and/or proprietary information to any third party. 
6.  Limited Warranties 
6.1  Media. For the period of one (1) month after Delivery (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Purchase 
Order) (the “Media Warranty Period”), AirTight warrants to and for the sole benefit of Customer that the media 
on which the Software is provided to Customer will be free of defects in materials and workmanship. 
Customer's exclusive remedy and AirTight's sole liability for breach of this warranty is that AirTight will, at its 
own expense, replace any defective media returned to AirTight within the Media Warranty Period. This 
warranty does not apply to damage resulting from misuse, abuse, or neglect. 
6.2  Software. For the period of one (1) month after Delivery (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Purchase 
Order) (the “Software Warranty Period”), AirTight warrants to and for the sole benefit of Customer that, 
subject to Section 6.4, any Software, when used as permitted under this EULA and in accordance with the 
instructions in the Documentation, will operate substantially without Error. Customer's exclusive remedy and 
AirTight's sole liability for breach of this warranty is that AirTight will, at its own expense, use commercially 
reasonable efforts to make available to Customer, by Internet download, Updates (that are intended to correct 
such Errors) that AirTight makes generally available, for Errors reported to AirTight during the Software 
Warranty Period. Any Error correction provided to Customer will not extend the original Software Warranty 
Period. 
6.3  Hardware. For the period of one (1) month after Delivery (as defined in Section 1.2 of the Purchase 
Order) (the “Hardware Warranty Period”), AirTight warrants to and for the sole benefit of Customer that, 
subject to Section 6.4, any Hardware sold to Customer will be free of substantial defects in materials and 
workmanship. As Customer's exclusive remedy and AirTight's sole liability for breach of this warranty, 
AirTight will, at its election, repair or replace any defective Hardware returned to AirTight (in accordance with 
Section 6.5) within the Hardware Warranty Period. If AirTight is unable to repair or replace such Hardware, 
then it will accept a return of such Hardware (in accordance with Section 6.5) and refund to Customer the price 
paid by Customer for the Hardware. Any remedy provided under this Section 6.3 will not extend the original 
Hardware Warranty Period. 
6.4  Exclusions. AirTight will have no obligation under this EULA to correct, and AirTight makes no 
warranty with respect to, Errors caused by: (a) improper installation of supported Software or Hardware; (b) 
changes that Customer has made to supported Software or Hardware; (c) use of the supported Software or 
Hardware in a manner inconsistent with the Documentation; (d) combination of supported Software and

Customer's servers; or (f) Customer's failure to make reasonable backups. 
6.5  Returns Procedure. To return an item of Hardware for any reason permitted under this EULA, 
Customer must notify AirTight in writing or by fax of its proposed return, and request a tracking number. 
AirTight will issue tracking numbers in accordance with its then-current standard procedures. Within ten (10) 
days of receipt of the tracking number, Customer will return the relevant Hardware to AirTight (a) in 
accordance with AirTight's return policies, procedures and instructions; (b) freight prepaid; and (c) in its

End User License Agreement 
SpectraGuard Sensor Installation Guide 
vi
risk of loss or damage to any returned Hardware until such Hardware is received by AirTight at its premises. 
AirTight reserves the right to refuse to accept any returned Hardware that does not bear a tracking number on 
the outside of the carton or which otherwise does not comply with AirTight's return policies, procedures and 
instructions. 
6.6  Disclaimer. Except for the express warranties in Sections 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3, AirTight hereby disclaims 
all other warranties, whether express, implied or statutory, including but not limited to the implied warranties 
of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, result, effort, title and non-infringement. There is 
no warranty that the Software will be error free, or that the Software or Hardware will operate without 
interruption or will fulfill any of Customer's particular purposes or needs. 
7.  Limitation of Liability 
Limitation of Damages. AirTight will not be liable to Customer or any other party for any indirect, incidental, 
special, consequential, exemplary or reliance damages arising out of or related to this EULA under any legal 
theory, including but not limited to lost profits, lost data or business interruption, even if AirTight knows of or 
should have known of the possibility of such damages. Regardless of the cause of action or the form of action, 
AirTight's total cumulative liability for actual damages arising out of or related to this EULA relating to a 
particular piece of Hardware or Software will not exceed the price paid for such Hardware and Software. The 
limitations of this Section 7 will not apply to or otherwise limit AirTight's liability for indemnification claims 
under Section 8. This Section 7 will apply even if an exclusive remedy of Customer hereunder has failed of its 
essential purpose. Customer acknowledges that the prices and fees reflect the allocation of risk set forth in this 
Agreement and that AirTight would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations on its liability. 
8.  Indemnification 
8.1  AirTight's Obligation. Subject to Sections 8.2 and 8.3, AirTight will defend at its own expense any 
action brought against Customer by a third party, to the extent that: (a) such action is based upon a claim that 
the Hardware or Software infringes upon any U.S. copyrights or U.S. patents registered or issued as of the 
Effective Date, or (b) that the negligence of AirTight personnel caused personal injury or property damage. 
AirTight will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against Customer in any such action that are 
specifically attributable to such claim, or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such 
action. The foregoing obligations are conditioned on Customer: (a) notifying AirTight promptly in writing of 
such action; (b) giving AirTight sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations; and 
(c) cooperating and, at AirTight's request and expense, assisting in such defense. Customer may also participate 
in the defense at its own expense. This Section 8.1 states AirTight’s entire liability and Customer's sole and 
exclusive remedy for any third-party claims. 
8.2  Cure. If the Hardware or Software becomes, or in AirTight’s opinion is likely to become, the subject 
of an infringement claim that AirTight is required to defend pursuant to Section 8.1, then AirTight may (at its 
option and expense) either: (a) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Hardware or Software; or 
(b) replace or modify the Hardware or Software so that it becomes non-infringing. If neither of the foregoing 
options is reasonably available, then AirTight may: (i) terminate Customer's rights hereunder to use the 
Software; and (ii) refund a pro-rata portion of any price Customer paid under this EULA, based on the useful 
life of the Hardware and Software upon return of same to AirTight. Solely for the purpose of calculating any 
refund payable to Customer under this Section 8.2, the parties agree that the useful life of the Hardware and 
Software will be deemed to be two (2) years. 
8.3  Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AirTight will have no obligation under this Section 8 or 
otherwise with respect to any infringement claim based upon: (a) any use of the Hardware or Software not in 
accordance with this EULA or the Documentation: (b) any use of the Hardware or Software in combination 
with other products, Hardware, software, or data not provided or approved by AirTight; (c) any use of any 

End User License Agreement 
SpectraGuard Sensor Installation Guide 
vii
Release of the Software other than the most current Release made available to Customer; or (d) any 
modification of the Hardware or Software by any person other than AirTight or its authorized agents. 
Customer will indemnify AirTight against all liability, damages and costs (including but not limited to 
reasonable attorneys' fees) resulting from or related to such a claim. 
8.4  AirTight products may be capable of operating at frequencies beyond those allowed in your region. 
You must indemnify, hold harmless, and defend AirTight from and against all Legal and Statutory obligations 
if you choose to operate the SpectraGuard Enterprise products beyond the allowed frequencies. 
9.  General 
9.1  Notices. All notices, consents and approvals under this EULA (other than orders and order 
acknowledgments) must be delivered in writing by courier, by facsimile or by certified or registered mail 
(postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to the other party at the address set forth above, and will be 
effective upon receipt or three (3) business days after being deposited in the mail as required above, whichever 
occurs sooner. Either party may change its address by giving notice of the new address to the other party. 
9.2  No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No party will be deemed a third-party beneficiary to this EULA. 
9.3  Relationship of Parties. The parties hereto are independent contractors. Nothing in this EULA will be 
deemed to create an agency, employment, partnership, fiduciary or joint venture relationship between the 
parties. 
9.4  Compliance with Export Control Laws. The Software will only be delivered to Customer in the 
United States and may be subject to export control regulations of the United States and other countries, with 
which Customer will comply. 
9.5  Assignments. Customer may not assign or transfer, by operation of law, merger or otherwise, any of 
its rights or delegate any of its duties under this EULA (including without limitation, its licenses with respect to 
the Software) to any third party without AirTight’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment or 
transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void. AirTight may assign its rights or delegate its obligations 
under this EULA. 
9.6  U.S. Government End Users. The Software and any other software covered under this EULA, are 
“commercial items” as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” 
and “commercial computer software documentation” as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent 
with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S. Government end users acquire the 
Software and any other software and documentation covered under this EULA with only those rights set forth 
therein.  
9.7  Governing Law and Venue. This EULA will be governed by the laws of the State of California. The 
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this EULA. Any 
action or proceeding arising from or relating to this EULA must be brought exclusively in a federal or state 
court seated in Santa Clara, California, and in no other venue. Each party irrevocably consents to the personal 
jurisdiction and venue in, and agrees to service of process issued by, any such court. Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, AirTight reserves the right to file a suit or action in any court of competent jurisdiction as AirTight 
deems necessary to protect its intellectual property and proprietary rights. 
9.8  Force Majeure. Any delay in or failure of performance by either party under this EULA, other than a 
failure to pay amounts when due, will not be considered a breach of this EULA and will be excused to the 
extent caused by any occurrence beyond the reasonable control of such party. 
9.9  Remedies. Except as provided in Sections 6, 7 and 8, the parties' rights and remedies under this EULA 
are cumulative. Customer acknowledges that the Software contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary 
information of AirTight, that any actual or threatened disclosure or misapplication of such Software will 
constitute immediate, irreparable harm to AirTight for which monetary damages would be an inadequate 
remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach. If any legal action is brought to

provision of this EULA on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such 
provision on any other occasion. This EULA may be amended only by a written document signed by both 
parties. 
9.11  Severability. If any provision of this EULA is adjudicated to be unenforceable, such provision will be 
changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under 
applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. 
9.12  Entire EULA. This EULA, the Purchase Order(s) and Services Agreement(s) constitute the entire 
agreement between the parties regarding the subject hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous

Chapter 4 Installing SpectraGuard Sensor  
SpectraGuard Sensor is the probe that monitors your network and communicates with the 
SpectraGuard Enterprise Server to guard your corporate network against over-the-air attacks. The 
Sensor must be plugged to your corporate network to perform the above operations. 
Installing and configuring the SpectraGuard Sensor on the network is automatic. This chapter 
discusses two simple steps to install the SpectraGuard Sensor: 
1. Connecting Power 
2. Connecting to the Network 
Important! To prevent abuse and intrusion by unauthorized personnel, it is extremely important to install 
the SpectraGuard Sensor such that it is difficult to unplug the device from the network or from the power 
outlet. 
4.1 Connecting Power 
SpectraGuard Sensor runs on a 5V DC connection. Use the power adapter provided to power the 
SpectraGuard Sensor from a 110V˜240V 50/60 Hz AC power connection. 
To connect the power to SpectraGuard Sensor, perform the following steps: 
1. Plug the power cable into the DC power receptacle at the rear of the SpectraGuard Sensor. 
2. Plug the other end of the power cable into an 110V˜240V 50/60 Hz AC power source. 
 Figure 4   SpectraGuard Sensor showing power connections 
Caution : The installation  must be executed by technical staff.

Wait for two minutes! 
Check the Status LEDs. You will see LED1 turn yellow and LED2 turn green. This means that 
SpectraGuard Sensor is powered on correctly, and is waiting to be connected to the network. 
4.2 Connecting to the Network 
Ensure that the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server is already running on your network. 
To connect SpectraGuard Sensor to the network, perform the following steps: 
1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port at the rear of the SpectraGuard 
Sensor. 
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to an Ethernet jack that is connected to a hub 
or a switch. 
Recommended! Carefully choose the network segment on which the SpectraGuard Sensor is connected. The 
SpectraGuard Sensor should be placed on a network segment that can communicate with the SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server via multicast. 
If you are placing the SpectraGuard Sensor across a router boundary that separates it from the SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server, ensure that multicast routing is enabled for the Multicast Group Address 224.0.23.11 on 
this router. This Multicast Group Address is reserved by IANA for AirTight Networks, Inc. If your system 
administrator does not allow multicast on routers, you must configure SpectraGuard Sensor manually. Refer 
to Chapter 5 for details. 
Important! If you connect the SpectraGuard Sensor to a network segment where a DHCP Server is 
running, it will automatically receive an IP address. Otherwise, you will have to configure the IP address of 
the SpectraGuard Sensor manually. 
Figure 5   SpectraGuard Sensor showing Network and Power Connections

Wait for two minutes! 
Check the Status LEDs. If all LEDs glow green, then the SpectraGuard Sensor is operational and 
connected to the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. 
The SpectraGuard Sensor is configured and ready to go. Check your SpectraGuard Enterprise 
Console to ensure that this SpectraGuard Sensor has been detected. 
You need not read this installation guide further. 
Note: If LED1 turns yellow, it means that the automatic installation was not successful and the 
SpectraGuard Sensor must be configured manually. Refer to Chapter 5 for details. 
Note: If LED1 is green, then LED2, LED3, and LED4 must be solid green or blinking green. If this does not 
happen, there is an error in one of the interfaces. Contact support@airtightnetworks.net for details.

Chapter 5 Manual Configuration of 
SpectraGuard Sensor  
Important! If the installation in Chapter 4 was successful, stop! You do not need to configure SpectraGuard 
Sensor manually. 
In this chapter you will learn how to manually configure SpectraGuard Sensor. The Sensor can be 
configured in two ways: 
 Through the Web Interface (http) 
 Through the Command Line Interface (CLI) 
You can choose either method to configure the SpectraGuard Sensor. The Web Interface is the 
easiest way to configure the SpectraGuard Sensor. If you are comfortable using a HyperTerminal or 
minicom console, you can also use the Command Line Interface method. 
5.1 Introduction 
You must configure and set up SpectraGuard Sensor manually if LED1 turns yellow during 
automatic installation. This means that the Sensor was unable to connect to the SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server automatically. Manual configuration is required to set up the Sensor to 
communicate with the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. Manual configuration is typically required 
in the following cases: 
1. SpectraGuard Sensor did not get an IP address automatically from the DHCP Server. 
2. SpectraGuard Sensor is placed on a network segment that is separated from SpectraGuard 
Enterprise 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. 
3. SpectraGuard Sensor is separated from SpectraGuard Enterprise Server by a router, a 
Network Address Translation (NAT) device or a firewall that does not have multicast 
enabled. 
5.2 Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor  
The following steps are used to configure SpectraGuard Sensor: 
1. Log in 
2. Change Password Settings 
3. Change Network Settings 

Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor 
SpectraGuard Sensor Installation Guide

4. Change Discovery Settings 
Manual configuration can be done through a Web Interface (http) or Command Line Interface 
(CLI). 
5.3 Configuring SpectraGuard Sensor through Web Interface (http) 
Configuration using Web Interface is done using the network connection or using the crossover 
cable connected between your machine and the Sensor. 
Figure 6   Connecting to SpectraGuard Sensor using the Crossover Cable 
Important! For Web configuration using the crossover cable, make sure that your machine is not running a 
DHCP Server. You can figure this out by looking at the SpectraGuard Sensor LEDs. If LED1 is yellow and 
LED2 is Fast Blinking Green, it means that Sensor did not get an IP address from the DHCP Server. In that 
case, the SpectraGuard Sensor network settings would default to the following:  
IP Address: 192.168.1.245 
Network Mask: 255.255.255.0 
The steps to configure SpectraGuard Sensor using Web Interface are explained in detail below. 
5.3.1 Step1: Log into the Web Interface 
You have to log into the Web Interface to configure the SpectraGuard Sensor.

provided for information purposes only. 
IP Address Settings 
Change the fields mentioned below to modify the IP Address Settings: 

Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor 
SpectraGuard Sensor Installation Guide 
15
Get IP over DHCP: This field is checked by default. This enables SpectraGuard Sensor to get an IP 
address automatically from a DHCP Server. If this field is unchecked, you can set the IP address 
manually. 
IP Address: This field can be set only if the Get IP over DHCP field is unchecked. This field sets the 
IP address of the SpectraGuard Sensor. The IP address should belong to the network segment on 
which this SpectraGuard Sensor is to be connected. 
Subnet Mask: This field can be set only if the Get IP over DHCP field is unchecked. This field 
represents the mask of the network segment to which SpectraGuard Sensor will be connected. 
Gateway IP Address: This field can be set only if the Get IP over DHCP field is unchecked. When 
Ethernet traffic from the subnet is forwarded to another network, it is sent through the Gateway. 
Enter the Gateway IP Address for the subnet on which this SpectraGuard Sensor is to be connected. 
Note: You need to change the IP address only if you do not have a DHCP Server to assign an IP address 
automatically. 
Route Settings 
Normally, you do not need to specify the route settings and these fields can be left blank. You 
should specify the route settings only if the default gateway provided by DHCP is not the gateway 
to the network segment where the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server is installed. 
Add a Network: Checking this field allows you to add a network route to communicate with 
SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. 
Network ID: This field specifies the network segment ID where the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server 
is connected. 
Subnet Mask: This field represents the mask of the network segment where the SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server is connected. 
Gateway IP Address: This field is the IP address of the gateway to the network segment where the 
SpectraGuard Enterprise Server is connected. 
Note: If the “Add a Network” checkbox is not checked, then the Network ID, Subnet Mask, and Gateway IP 
Address are disabled. 
5.3.4 Step 4: Change Discovery Settings 
Discovery Settings set up the discovery of the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server by the SpectraGuard 
Sensor. These settings must be manually configured only if SpectraGuard Sensor is unable to locate 
the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. 

Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor 
SpectraGuard Sensor Installation Guide 
16
Figure 11   Discovery Settings Screen 
There are two main sections under Discovery Settings: 
 Auto Discover SpectraGuard Enterprise Server 
 Manually Discover SpectraGuard Enterprise Server 
Auto Discover SpectraGuard Enterprise Server 
You can set up the SpectraGuard Sensor to automatically discover and connect to the SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server. If you have multiple SpectraGuard Enterprise Servers on your network, each 
SpectraGuard Enterprise Server will have a different Server ID. You must specify the Server ID of 
the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server that this SpectraGuard Sensor should connect to. 
Server ID: This is the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server ID to which the SpectraGuard Sensor should 
connect. By default the Server ID is 0, which means that the connection will be attempted to any 
SpectraGuard Enterprise Server that is available. This field needs to be changed only if there are 
multiple SpectraGuard Enterprise Servers in the network. 
Important! The “Server ID” setting in the SpectraGuard Sensor Console should be left as '0' if you want 
SpectraGuard Sensor to auto detect the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. In case you set the Server ID 
manually, it must be set to the Server ID of the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. If unsure, do not change 
this field. 
Manually Discover SpectraGuard Enterprise Server 
You can set up the SpectraGuard Sensor to explicitly discover and connect to the SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server. You must specify the Ethernet IP address of the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. 
Server IP: This is the IP address of the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server to which the SpectraGuard 
Sensor should connect. By default the Server IP address is 255.255.255.255. 
Clicking Apply saves the changes. 
Clicking Reset resets the parameters to their previous values without applying the changes.

Modify the Configuration Settings 
viewconfig—This command shows the current configuration of the Sensor, as shown in Figure 22 
below. The various configuration parameters are as follows: 
auto_discovery—This parameter signifies whether multicasting is enabled or not.  
If Allowed="y"(Default) then multicast is enabled. 
If Allowed="n" then multicast is disabled and the SpectraGuard Sensor connects to the 
SpectraGuard Enterprise Server using unicast. 
$ viewip 
Current IP settings are: 
IP=192.168.3.58 Mask=255.255.255.0 Gateway=192.168.3.254

server_ip—This parameter signifies the IP address of the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server 
to which the SpectraGuard Sensor connects. This is valid and is displayed only if 
auto_discovery="n", i.e., multicasting is disabled. 
Default IP Address = 255.255.255.255 
server_id—This parameter signifies the Server ID of the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server 
to which the SpectraGuard Sensor connects. This is valid and will be displayed only if 
auto_discovery="y", i.e., multicasting is enabled.  
Default Server ID = 0 
Note: Server ID “0” implies that connection will be attempted to any SpectraGuard Enterprise Server.

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting 
Symptoms  Diagnosis  Solution 
LED1: Yellow 
LED2: Fast 
Blinking Green 
Not getting a DHCP 
address. 
The DHCP Server is down. Either bring up the DHCP 
Server or set a static IP address via the Web (http) or 
Command Line Interface. 
LED1: Yellow 
LED2: Slow 
Blinking Green 
Unable to connect to 
the SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server. 
 Ensure that multicasting is enabled on your 
router. If you don't want to do that, connect on 
unicast by setting auto_discovery="n" and specify 
the IP address of the SpectraGuard Enterprise 
Server.  
 The other reason could be that SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server with the specified Server ID is 
down or the Server ID is different from what is 
configured. 
 Make sure you use only factory crimped 
Ethernet cables with SpectraGuard Sensor or the 
cable supplied in the package. 
 SpectraGuard Enterprise Server is possibly on a 
different subnet that the default gateway doesn't 
recognize. In such a case, you can specify an 
alternate route on which the SpectraGuard 
Enterprise Server resides via the Web (http) or 
Command Line Interface. If this doesn't work, 
then the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server with 
the specified IP or ID is probably down or the 
Server ID is different from what is configured. 
LED1: Yellow 
LED2: Green 
The Ethernet cable is 
loose. It is probably 
disconnected from the 
network. 
Reconnect the Ethernet cable to the network.
