Introduction
The system is highly customizable and can be configured to suit the needs of your enterprise. The Administration
screen allows you to perform various administrative activities such as event, device, and user management, configure
the system and location settings, and enable integration with SAFE and third party applications.
Administration Screen
The Administration screen includes two panes.
On the left, you see policy groups categorized into global policies and local policies; Global policies are grouped
under the Global tab while Local policies are grouped under the Local tab.
On the right, you see the details of the selected policy node. The following figure displays the Administration tab.
Global tab
Administration Tab

Local Tab
Global Policies
Global policies are the policies that are applicable to the entire system. A superuser or an administrator with rights to
the root location can modify the global policies.
Click the Global tab on the Administration screen to view the policies groups under this tab.
Event Settings
The Event Settings option enabled you to configure the following event settings in the system.
Hotspot SSID's
Event Regeneration
Vulnerable SSID's
Vulnerable SSID
APs have well known default SSIDs and many users may not change these SSIDs when deploying the APs. Therefore
it is highly likely that APs using default SSIDs are present in the enterprise neighborhood. If an enterprise Client
probes for a default SSID, it is at risk of connecting to the neighborhood AP without the user necessarily knowing
about it. Also if an enterprise AP uses a default SSID, such an AP may attract undesirable Clients to connect to it.
If you consider an SSID to be vulnerable to hackers, you can open the Vulnerable SSIDs screen and enter the SSID
under SSID (ASCII character string). Click Add and then Apply to place the SSID in your database. If an AP point
with a vulnerable SSID is detected, the system generates an event.
Note: Commonly known SSIDs are listed by default. To enter a blank SSID: no string, click <Add> without
entering any text. The list shows the SSID as NULL.
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
179
Remove SSIDs from this list by selecting the SSIDs and clicking Delete. To remove the SSIDs from the database, click
Apply.
Vulnerable SSIDs
Regeneration
Some events are generated repeatedly when the cause persists; for example, Denial of Service (DoS) (Security) and
traffic events (Monitoring).
The Regeneration screen enables you to specify how often an event is repeated if the cause persists under the Event
Regeneration Interval.
(Minimum: 1 hour; Maximum: 168 hours; Default: 24 hours)

Event Regeneration Interval
Hotspot SSIDs
It is highly likely that hotspot APs are present in the enterprise neighborhood. If enterprise Client probes for well
known hotspot SSID, it is at risk of connecting to the hotspot AP without the user necessarily knowing about it. Also
if enterprise AP uses hotspot SSID on it, such an AP may attract undesirable Clients to connect to it.
If you consider an SSID to be vulnerable to hackers, you can open the Hotspot SSIDs screen and enter the SSID
under SSID (ASCII character string). Click Add and then Apply to place the SSID in your database. If an AP with a
vulnerable SSID is detected, the system generates an event.
Note: The system lists commonly known SSIDs by default. To enter a blank SSID: that is, with no string, click
<Add> without entering any text. The list shows the SSID as NULL.

Import Devices
Importing an Authorized AP List and an Authorized or Non-authorized Clients List is an efficient alternative to
manual movement of these devices into the Authorized/Non-authorized bins. After successfully importing these lists,
the system automatically classifies the APs and Clients in the respective lists as Authorized/Non-authorized.
Import Devices
You can move Authorized APs to the Authorized folder using one of the following methods:
Move an AP to the Authorized folder using right click and Move option
Import the Authorized AP list
Synchronize with an AP Management server

Threshold settings determine the status of devices in terms of up-down association and connectivity. The Thresholds
screen enables you to set parameters for APs, clients, and sensors.
Device Thresholds
Device Threshold Parameters contains the following settings:
AP Timeout
Activity Timeout: If the system senses no activity of the AP for the period specified here, it
declares the AP inactive.
(Minimum: 60 seconds; Maximum: 600 seconds; Default: 300 seconds)
Client Timeouts
Activity Timeout: If the system senses no activity from a Client for the period specified here, it
declares the Client inactive.
(Minimum: 120 seconds; Maximum: 1200 seconds; Default: 600 seconds)
Association Timeout: If the system sees no communication between an associated AP and Client pair for
the period specified here, it declares the association as timed out.
(Minimum: 120 seconds; Maximum: 1200 seconds; Default: 600
Sensor Parameters
Maximum Number of Sensors Allowed: Maximum number of sensors allowed to connect to the
system at a given time.
(Maximum value is governed by the license applied and is a Read-Only field.)
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
187
Sensor Timeout: The sensor sends keep alive information to the server at a regular time interval specified
here, to tell the server that it is alive. If the system does not receive this keep alive information for a time
span specified here, it declares the sensor inactive.
Note: Sensor timeout is not user configurable for this release and has been fixed as 600 seconds.
RF Signal Computation Constants
Moving Average Constant: A constant used to find the weighted average of signal strength as seen by a
sensor for a transmitter. Higher value gives more weight to more recently seen signal strength values.
(Minimum: 0; Maximum: 1; Default: 0.05)
sensor observes signal strengths as RSSI reported by the driver. The system converts this information to dBm values
for further use. The conversion formula for this is different for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency spectrum. The formula
is dBm = RSSI + dBm Conversion Constant.
RSSI <-> dBm Conversion Constant for 802.11a: This value used for 5 GHz band is set to -98.
RSSI <-> dBm Conversion Constant for 802.11b/g: This value used for 2.4 GHz band is set to -90.
Sensor Server Communication
Frequency of Device Updates: The system is informed immediately when device attributes change or when a
device is first detected. If no such changes take place, the system should still be informed about the device
updates. Here you can set that time after which the system is notified of the updates.
(Minimum: 1 day; Maximum: 365 days; Default: 36 days)
Frequency of Signal Strength Updates: The system should be periodically informed about the signal strength
updates. Here you can set that time after which the system is notified.
(Minimum: 1 minute; Maximum: 5 minutes; Default: 2 minutes)
Records Constants (per Sensor): A sensor maintains records for APs, Clients, and associations. The constants
below define the maximum number of APs, Clients, and associations for which to maintain records with the
sensor(s).
Maximum Number of AP records to keep: Specifies the maximum number of APs for which to maintain
records with the sensor(s).
(Minimum: 100; Maximum: 500; Default: 128)
Maximum Number of Client records to keep: Specifies the maximum number of Clients for which to
maintain records are with the sensor(s).
(Minimum: 100; Maximum: 500; Default: 256)
Maximum Number of Association records to keep: Specifies the maximum number of associations for which to
maintain records with the sensor(s).
(Minimum: 100; Maximum: 500; Default: 128)
Discovery
Sensors and NDs inject discovery (ARP) broadcast packets in bursts on the network at regular intervals. These
packets detect the presence of wireless devices connected to the network. If there are multiple sensors and NDs on a
subnet, only one injects discovery packets on the subnet.
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
188
Device Discovery
The following options are available:
Number of packets in a discovery burst: Specifies the number of packets that the system sends in each
discovery burst.
(Minimum: 10; Maximum: 1000; Default: 300)
Time interval for packets in a discovery burst: Specifies the time interval between two consecutive packets
sent in a discovery burst.
(Minimum: 10 milliseconds; Maximum: 110 milliseconds; Default: 50 milliseconds)
Time to wait between two discovery bursts: Specifies the time interval between two consecutive discovery
bursts. This time also determines the time taken to detect rogue devices connected to your network. More the
time to wait between two discovery bursts means more time is required to detect the connectivity of the
wireless devices.
(Minimum: 3 seconds; Maximum: 1200 seconds; Default: 75 seconds)

Adding User Details: User Properties Tab for Local User
Under User Details, select the user type (Local, LDAP, or Radius User). Superuser can create user accounts. For local
authentication using password, it is necessary to create the user account using this screen before the user can log in.
For a Local User, the superuser must specify the following fields:
Login ID: Login ID of the user.
User Role: This field specifies the role to be assigned to the user. The table below shows the user roles and
their respective rights.
First and Last Name: First and last name of the user.
Locations: The list of locations where the user has access privilege consistent with the role.
Password: Initial password of the user (which user can later change on his own).
Confirm Password: Reenter the password to help confirm the password before saving.
Email Address: Email address of the user.
For LDAP and RADIUS Users, creating user accounts using this screen is optional, because the user account gets
automatically created (if not already present) upon the first successful login of the user who is authenticated via
LDAP/RADIUS.
As a general rule, at the time of authenticating a user, the system always checks if the user password is locally
available in the system. If it is not locally available, the system checks if the configuration is provided to access the
LDAP authentication service. If so, the system attempts to verify the user password with the LDAP authentication
service. If the user password is not available with the LDAP service, the system checks if the configuration is
provided to access the RADIUS authentication service. If so, the system attempts to verify the user password with the
RADIUS authentication service. In case of LDAP and RADIUS authentication, the system does not maintain local
copy of the user password.
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
193
Adding User Details: User Properties Tab for LDAP User
For LDAP User, the superuser may create user accounts using this screen, prior to the first successful login of the
user. For this, the following fields can be specified:
Login ID: Login ID of the user.
User Role: This field specifies the role to be assigned to the user. The table below shows the user roles and
their respective rights.
Locations: The list of locations where the user has access privilege consistent with the role.
Notes:
1. The User Role and Locations as specified above in the User Details screen are effective only if the corresponding
attributes are not provided by the LDAP server at the time of authentication. When the LDAP server provides any
of the above attributes, the LDAP provided values override the manually specified values in this screen.
2. To enable the LDAP authentication, configuration details to access the LDAP server must be provided in the
LDAP configuration screen (described later). That screen also facilitates providing default User Role and Locations
for all LDAP authenticated users, if the LDAP server does not provide those attributes. The User Role and
Locations fields in the User Details screen facilitates providing specific default values for the corresponding
attributes for the specific users, if the LDAP server does not provide them.
Administration Tab

Login ID: Login ID of the user.
User Role: This field specifies the role to be assigned to the user. The table below shows the user roles and
their respective rights.
First and Last Name: First and last name of the user.
Locations: This field specifies the locations where the user has access privilege consistent with the role.
Email Address: This field specifies the email address of the user.
Notes:
1. The User Role and Locations as specified above in User Details screen are effective only if the corresponding
attributes are not provided by the RADIUS server at the time of authentication. When the RADIUS server provides
any of the above attributes, the RADIUS provided values override the manually specified values in this screen. The
RADIUS server never provides First/Last Name and Email Address attributes.
2. To enable the RADIUS authentication, configuration details to access the RADIUS server must be provided in
the RADIUS configuration screen (described later). That screen also facilitates providing default User Role and

User Authentication
The systems supports four authentication options. The superuser has to set any one authentication option, and it then
applies to all users. The four authentication options supported by the system are as follows:
1. Password only: In this option, the user authentication is performed using the password. The user has to
enter the username and the password at the login prompt. The password may be locally verified by the
system or may be verified using the external LDAP or RADIUS authentication service, as appropriate. When
this authentication option is set, the login screen appears as follows:
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
201
Login Screen – Password only authentication
2. Certificate only: In this option, the user authentication is performed using the client certificate (such as
smart card). The user has to insert a smart card containing the client certificate in a reader attached to the
computer from where the console is accessed and then press the Login button. The system then verifies the
client certificate and obtains user identity (username) from the certificate. Other attributes for the user are
retrieved either locally or from the external authentication services such as LDAP or RADIUS, as
appropriate. When this authentication option is set, the login screen appears as follows:
Login Screen – Certificate only authentication
3. Certificate and Password: In this option, both the client certificate and the password are required for the
user authentication. The user has to insert a smart card containing the client certificate in a reader attached
to the computer from where the console is accessed, as well as enter the password at the login prompt. The
system verifies the password locally or using the external LDAP or RADIUS authentication service, as
appropriate. When this authentication option is set, the login screen appears as follows:
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
202
Login Screen – Certificate and Password authentication
4. Certificate or Password: In this option, the user authentication is permitted either using the password or
using the client certificate. This option is appropriate for organizations which have only partially migrated
to using smart cards for authentication. At login prompt, the user can select certificate authentication by
checking the Use certificate for login box or continue with password authentication by enterping login
name and password. When this authentication option is set, the login screen appears as follows:
Login Screen – Certificate or Password authentication
The superuser can use following screen to set one of the above four authentication options namely Password only,
Certificate only, Certificate and password or Certificate or password.

Location Settings
The Location Settings dialog sets the following location settings in the system.
Auto Location Tagging
A location tag that is attached to a device or an event helps identify the location of that event or device. The system
has an Auto Location Tagging feature, which refers to the capability of the system to automatically ‘tag’ the devices
and events to the locations where they have been detected.
The Auto Location Tagging screen enables you to configure the settings for automatic tagging of devices discovered
by the system and events generated by the system.
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
207
Auto Location Tagging
Auto Location Tagging Configuration contains the following options:
Devices: Based on the initial location of the device, the APs and Clients are auto-tagged immediately upon
discovery. You can select how the system should compute the initial location tag of the APs or Clients. The
system never auto-tags an AP or Client, if it is tagged manually. To re-enable auto location-tagging for a
device, you must delete the device and let the system re-discover it. You must manually tag sensors. You
can do one of the following:
Choose the location tag of the sensor that sees the highest RSSI value for that device.
Choose the location tag of the selected number of sensors that see the highest RSSI values for that device.
(Minimum: 2; Maximum: 10; Default: 2)
You can also discard the sensors that see a lower RSSI after comparing the value with a sensor that reports a higher
RSSI.
(Minimum: 20 dB; Maximum: 40 dB; Default: 30 dB)
Events: The system tags events based on the location of the devices that participate in the events. The system
initially identifies a primary device — AP, Client, or Sensor for each event. The system automatically tags the
location of events based on the tag for the primary device associated with the event.
Note: The system never retags an event. You can tag the location of an event manually on the Events screen by
right-clicking the event and from the resulting menu by selecting Change Location.
Location Tracking
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
208
The location of a particular device can be tracked using the location tracking feature. The system needs at least three
sensors to perform location tracking. The Location Tracking screen enables you to define the parameters that control
location tracking.
Location Tracking
Default Location Tracking Parameters contains the following options:
Location Tracking Technique: Select the technique used for location tracking. The technique available is
Generalized Likelihood.
Maximum number of Sensors to use for Location Tracking: Select the maximum number of sensors used
for location tracking. Sensors track down the location of a device and the system uses sensors that see the
maximum values. A higher value is likely to give better results.
(Minimum: 3; Maximum: 10; Default: 4)
Default Transmit Power of AP (mW): Location tracking needs as input the transmit power of the AP being
located. When transmit power is unknown, the default value set here is used.
(Minimum: 1 mW/0 dBm; Maximum: 100 mW/20 dBm; Default: 30 mW/15 dBm)
Default Transmit Power of Client (mW): Location tracking needs as input the transmit power of the Client
being located. When transmit power is unknown, the default value set here is used.
(Minimum: 1 mW/0 dBm; Maximum: 100 mW/20 dBm; Default: 10 mW/ dBm)
Signal Strength Monitoring Devices: Location tracking is based on the signal strength of the monitoring
devices. This value can deviate from the actual values because of subtle variations in the RF environment.
You can specify APs only, Sensors only, and Sensors and/or APs to be used to control location tracking.
Using the system’s Application Programming Interface (API), APs can be reported as a source of signal
strength. Information from these APs can be used for location tracking.
Live RF Views
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
209
The Live RF Views screen enables you to define the parameters that are used in live RF views. These parameters are
specific to each environment. Tuning the parameters enables you to see more accurate views.
Live RF Views
Default Live RF Views Parameters contains the following options:
Intrusion Detection and Prevention Regions: Specify the dBm values for which the system shows the
intrusion detection and prevention regions in the sensor coverage views.
Intrusion Detection Display Threshold (dBm): Detection Range is the area over which sensors can reliably
detect wireless activity. Intrusion Detection Display Threshold determines the threshold for this range.
(Default: -85 dBm).
Intrusion Prevention Display Threshold (dBm): Prevention Range is the area over which sensors can
prevent unauthorized wireless activity. Intrusion Prevention Display Threshold determines the threshold
for this range. (Default: -75 dBm)
Both the Detection and Prevention ranges are affected by parameters in the RF Propagation section.
Note: The reliability of the prevention also depends on the Intrusion Prevention Level selected on

RF Propagation
The RF Propagation screen enables you to define default AP, Client, and Sensor antenna gain values.
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
210
RF Propagation
Default RF Propagation Settings contains the following options:
Default Antenna Gain Values: Specify the default sensor, AP, and Client antenna gain values. Antenna gain
is a characteristic of an antenna used for transmitting or receiving signal, defined as gain in power when
signal is received (or transmitted) using the antenna.
Sensor Antenna Gain (dB): Specifies the gain of antenna attached to the sensor. (Default: 2.3 dB)
AP Antenna Gain (dB): Specifies the gain of antenna attached to the AP. (Default: 2.3 dB)
Client Antenna Gain (dB): Specifies the gain of antenna attached to the Client. (Default: 0 dBm)
Note: If better antennas are used, you should increase the gain.
Transmitter Losses: Select the transmitter signal loss value suited to your environment.
If your environment has metal or concrete walls, select a higher signal value.
If your environment has large spaces where the signal can propagate without much obstruction,
select a lower signal loss value
When a device transmits, some loss in power occurs due to antenna connectors, electromagnetic, and environmental
factors. This loss might be different in different frequency bands. You can also specify the approximate loss in each
band.
Loss at Source for 802.11a Transmitter (dB): (Default: 10 dB)
Loss at Source for 802.11b/g Transmitter (dB): (Default: 10 dB)
Signal Decay Values: Signal propagation depends heavily on environment. The obstacles present in
environment might impede signal propagation, limiting its range. It is very difficult to accurately model
signal propagation in all kinds of environment, but by fine-tuning the following four constants, you can
more or less characterize your environment for signal propagation.
Administration Tab
SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide
211
Note: The system uses the first set of parameters when the Planner file is imported; the second set for blank, gif, or
jpeg files.
Minimum and Maximum Signal Decay Constants specify the range for the decay exponent, that is, the exponent at
which signal decays with distance. Signal Decay Slope (Beta) and Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha) control how the
decay exponent changes from its minimum value to maximum value.
For Nodes with imported SpectraGuard Planner file:
Minimum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)
Maximum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)
Signal Decay Slope (Beta): (Default: 0.08 dBm)
Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha): (Default: -4 dBm)
For Nodes with GIF, JPEG or Blank layout:
Minimum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)
Maximum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.5 dBm)
Signal Decay Slope (Beta): (Default: 0.08 dBm)
Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha): (Default: -4 dBm)
Note: Planner models most significant objects; therefore Maximum Signal Decay Constant should be close to 2.0.

Auto-deletion
The system is designed to store information about devices seen and older events over a period of time. The rate of
growth of this information is dependent on the volatility of the wireless environment at the deployed location. This
information also becomes obsolete after a certain time. It is necessary to delete this information periodically. Based on
the event related configuration done by you, the system also raises and stores a number of events. If the configuration
is such that there are significant number of events generated and stored, the stored event data size grows
significantly faster. This event data also requires regular cleanup.
Auto Deletion allows you to specify values of various auto deletion parameters to control the frequency of deletion
of information. The system generates an event for tracking the action of auto deletion. This event gives information
only about device deletion. There is no event separately generated that indicates event deletion. Event deletion is also
referred to as Event Purging.
