The basic Web Interface let user can monitor and configure Access Point and all of Bluetooth devices information in anywhere. Locator™ is a multi-purpose cross-platform PC utility that can manage all bluetooth devices in a network through its simple interface. It is an ideal tool for auto-IP assignment, IP settings, firmware upgrades, and Web Interface discovery. 3.1. Web Management and Configuration If you have successful gone through the Quick Installation procedure in a DHCP-enabled network, you may want to monitor the Bluetooth activity on your Access Point through the Web Interface. Information page will display System Information such as the Bluetooth name of the Access Point, as well as, its firmware version and MAC address. It will also display network setup information such UBAP’s Internet Settings (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS entries). Devices page will display the IP and MAC addresses of all the currently connected Bluetooth clients.
TECOM CO., LTD. TECOM Bluetooth Access Point PROJECT Prepared by: CPE-U1 Internal Document [Product Revision Information] Page Revision Date Issued User's Manual 3(4) 0.1 08-30-2002 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. Figure 1 3Com’s Bluetooth Client displaying UBAP’s IP Address You can simply enter this IP address in the address section of your Browser (eg. Internet Explorer) to access the Web Interface. Using the Locator:

TECOM CO., LTD. TECOM Bluetooth Access Point PROJECT Prepared by: CPE-U1 Internal Document [Product Revision Information] Page Revision Date Issued User's Manual 6(4) 0.1 08-30-2002 Figure 4 Devices page on the Web Interface 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.

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.

TECOM Bluetooth Access Point PROJECT Prepared by: CPE-U1 Internal Document [Product Revision Information] Page Revision Date Issued User's Manual 8(4) 0.1 08-30-2002 Figure 6 Configuring the IP Address through Locator Alternatively, you can use the Web Interface to manually set the IP address of the Access Point: 1. Connect your PC to Bluetooth Access Point through a cross-over CAT5 Ethernet cable (or through a hub using normal Ethernet cables) 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.
TECOM CO., LTD. TECOM Bluetooth Access Point PROJECT Prepared by: CPE-U1 Internal Document [Product Revision Information] Page Revision Date Issued User's Manual 9(4) 0.1 08-30-2002 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.

TECOM CO., LTD. TECOM Bluetooth Access Point PROJECT Prepared by: CPE-U1 Internal Document [Product Revision Information] Page Revision Date Issued User's Manual 13(4) 0.1 08-30-2002 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.
TECOM CO., LTD. TECOM Bluetooth Access Point PROJECT Prepared by: CPE-U1 Internal Document [Product Revision Information] Page Revision Date Issued User's Manual 14(4) 0.1 08-30-2002 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.
