SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 Installation Guide
Chapter 4
Installing SS‐300‐AT‐C60
When the SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 functions as a WIPS sensor, it monitors your network and communicates with the Server to guard
your corporate network against over‐the‐air attacks.
When the SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 functions as an access point(AP), clients can connect to your corporate network in wireless mode
through the APs.
The SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 must be plugged to your corporate network to perform the above operations.
As a WIPS sensor, SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 can be configured in one of the following two modes:
•
Sensor Mode: This is the default mode. In this mode, the Sensor should be connected into a trunk port (802.1Q
capable) on a switch. It then monitors multiple VLANs that are configured on that trunk port and are chosen by the
user using the ND CLI. The wireless interface of the Sensor is enabled. Similarly, a SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 can monitor up to
16 VLANs.
•
Network Detector (ND) Mode: This mode needs to be explicitly configured. In this mode, the ND should be
connected into a trunk port (802.1Q capable) on a switch. It then monitors multiple VLANs that are configured on
that trunk port and are chosen by the user using the ND CLI. The wireless interface of the ND is disabled. A SS‐300‐
AT‐C‐60 can monitor upto 100 VLANs.
Important: To prevent abuse and intrusion by Non‐authorized personnel, it is extremely important to install the Sensor such that it is
difficult to unplug the device from the network or from the power outlet.

Zero configuration is supported if the following conditions are satisfied:
•
The device is in ‘Sensor’ mode.
•
A DNS entry ‘wifi‐security‐server’ is set up on all DNS Servers. This entry should point to the IP address of the Server.
By default, the device looks for the Server DNS entry ‘wifi‐security‐server’.
Sensor is placed on a subnet that is DHCP enabled.
Important: If a Sensor is placed on a network segment that is separated from the 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. If multiple Sensors are set up to connect to multiple Servers, zero configuration is not possible. In this case manual
configuration of Sensors is needed. Refer to Manually Configuring the Sensor for details.
The steps to install the Sensor with no configuration (zero configuration) are as follows.
•
Mount the Sensor
•
Power up the Sensor
•
Connect the Sensor to the network

Introduction
Manual configuration of SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 as a Sensor is typically required in the following cases:
•
Device needs to be configured in ND mode.
•
Sensor Only (SO) devices cannot connect to the SpectraGuard® Enterprise server through zero configuration. The
DNS entry for the SpectraGuard® Enterprise server has been changed to an entry other than ʺwifi‐security‐serverʺ or
there is no DNS Server present in the network. This is applicable for multi‐server installations.
•
Sensor is placed on a subnet that is not DHCP enabled.
5.2

5.2.4
Set Sensor Mode
The next step is to set the mode of the Sensor. There are two possible modes:
SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 Installation Guide
•
•
•
Sensor Mode: This is the default mode. In this mode, the device should be connected into a trunk port (802.1Q
capable) on a switch. It then monitors multiple VLANs that are configured on that trunk port and are chosen by the
user using the ND CLI. The wireless interface of the Sensor is enabled. Similarly, an SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 can monitor upto
16 VLANs.
ND Mode: This mode needs to be explicitly configured. In this mode, the device should be connected into a trunk
port (802.1Q capable) on a switch. It then monitors multiple VLANs that are configured on that trunk port and are
chosen by the user using the ND CLI. The wireless interface of the ND is disabled. A SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 functioning as a
WIPS sensor can detect and monitor upto 100 VLANs.
Use the set mode command to set the device mode for SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60.

a valid IP address via
the DHCP.
The DHCP Server is unreachable. Restore the connectivity
to the DHCP Server or set a static IP address via the HTTP
interface or the Config Shell CLI.
LED1: Solid Orange
LED4: Slow Blink
Unable to connect to
the Server.
LED1: Solid Orange
LED4: Solid Green
The Ethernet cable is
loose. It is probably
disconnected from the
network.
Ensure that the Server is running and is reachable from the
network to which the AP is attached. If there is a firewall or
a router with ACLs enabled between the AP and the Server,
ensure that the traffic is allowed on UDP port 3851.
If utilizing the Server ID based discovery, ensure that
multicast is enabled on the network.
Alternatively, if utilizing the Server IP based discovery,
ensure that the DNS name ‘wifi-security-server’ has been
correctly entered on the DNS Server. Also ensure that the
DNS Server IP addresses are either correctly configured on
the AP, or are provided by the DHCP Server.
It is also possible that the AP is unable to connect to the
Server because it has failed to authenticate with the
Server. If this is the case, there will be an 'Authentication
failed for AP's event raised on the Server. Refer to the
Event for recommended action.
Ensure that the Ethernet cable is connected.

SS‐300‐AT‐C‐60 Installation Guide
Chapter 8
Appendix A: Server Sensor Mutual Authentication
The Sensor‐Server communication begins with a mutual authentication step in which the Sensor and Server authenticate each
other using a shared secret. Sensor‐Server communication takes place only if this authentication succeeds.
Once authentication succeeds, a session key is generated. All communication between the Sensor and Server from this point
on is encrypted using the session key.
The Sensor and Server are shipped with the same default value of the shared secret. The CLI commands are provided on both
Server and Sensor for changing the shared secret.
Note: Once the shared secret (communication key) is changed on the Server, all Sensors connected to the Server will automatically be
setup to use the new communication key. Sensors that are not connected to the Server at this time will need to be setup with the same
communication key for them to be able to communicate with this Server.
Note: While the Server is backward compatible, that is, pre version 6.7 Update 1 Sensors can connect to a version 6.7 Update 1 Server, this
is not recommended. Once all Sensors have been upgraded to version 6.7 Update 1, the set sensor legacy authentication CLI command
can be used to disable older Sensors from connecting to the Server.
