2. Accessing the Configuration Website
You can access the BT-AP111 module’s web-based configuration interface:
2.1. Using “My Network Places”
To access the configuration website without using the BT-AP111 configuration application, Windows must first
be configured to show icons for networked UPnP devices. To do this in Windows XP, follow these steps:
1) Click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Add or Remove Programs.
2) Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
3) In the Components list, click to select the Networking Services check box, and then click Details.
4) In the Subcomponents of Networking Services list, click to select UPnP User Interface check box
and then click OK.
NOTE: To remove the UPnP UI components, click to clear the UPnP User Interface check box.
5) In the Windows Components Wizard, click Next.
For more information on Windows and UPnP, visit the Microsoft Help and Support website
at http://support.microsoft.com/
To find the UPnP icon for the BT-AP 111 module, follow these steps:
6) Go to “My Network Places”. “My Network Places” can typically be found by simply clicking Start and
then My Network Places.
7) Look for a UPnP icon labeled “Luminary Micro Serial2Ethernet Module”. The label should also include
the IP address of the BT-AP 111 module. Double-clicking on the icon will bring up the configuration
website served up by the BT-AP 111 module in a web browser.

4. Status & Configuration
When you are on home page it is displayed above. This web page described the current status of the BT-AP 111.
In a top table the list of property described like the name, Firmware Revision, Inactivity timeout, IP address and MAC
address.
1) Name
You can provide user defined name use of Misc Settings property. Default set to Bluetooth Access Point.
2) Firmware Revision
Which provide you firmware version installed in BT-AP 111. Users are not able to update firmware; they need
to contact our customer support [e-mail]
3) IP Address
Assigned IP address to BT-AP 111.
4) MAC Address
Assigned MAC address to BT-AP 111.
5) Inactivity timeout
It is related with the connection between client to server , If inactivity occurs 20 minutes long than it causes
timeout or connection refused.
In a Telnet port settings table long list of property described like Baud Rate, Data Size, Parity, Stop bits, Flow
control, Local Telnet Port number, Remote Telnet Port Number, Telnet Mode, Telnet protocol, Telnet Server
IP and Telnet Timeout.
6) Local Telnet Port Number
port is generally a specific place for being physically connected to some other device, usually with a socket
and plug of some kind. It is useful to provide unique port number to access the BT-AP 111. User can provide
Telnet Port Number use of Telnet Settings.
7) Remote Port Number
port is generally a specific place for being remotely connected to some other device, usually with a socket
and plug of some kind. To access the BT-AP 111 remotely you need to specify it’s port number else it
defined “N/A”. Note: when Telnet Mode set to “client”, afterwards you can defined Remote port number else
leave it.
8) Telnet Mode
This mode defined the remote device or machine work as “server” or “client”, default value is “server”.
9) Telnet Protocol
TELNET is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a bidirectional
interactive text-oriented communications facility via a virtual terminal connection. User data is interspersed
in-band with TELNET control information in an 8-bit byte oriented data connection over the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP). When User set the Telnet Mode to “server” you have to set Telnet Protocol to
“Telnet” else it is generating erroneous transmission over network. When you are setting the Telnet Mode to
“Client” at this time please try to change Telnet Protocol to “RAW”.
10) Telnet Server IP
When the Telnet Mode sets to “Client”, you can specify the Telnet Server IP for telnet server.
11) Telnet Timeout
It is specifying inactivity of the telnet after specified seconds. Default is a “0” it means there is no timeout
session used.

5. Telnet Settings
.
1) Local Telnet Port Number
Specifies the local telnet port number to be used.
2) Remote Telnet Port Number
Specifies the remote telnet port number to be used when the “Telnet Mode” is set to “Server”.
3) Mode
Specifies whether the telnet mode for that port will be “Server” or “Client”.
4) Protocol
Specifies whether the data for the port will be “Telnet” or “Raw”.

5) Server IP
Specifies the IP address of the telnet server when the “Telnet Mode” is set to “Client”.
6) Timeout
Specifies the telnet timeout in seconds. The default is 0 and specifies that no timeout is to be used.
NOTE: After changing the settings, click the “Apply Changes” button to cause the changes to take effect. If the
“Make these the default settings” check box is checked before clicking the “Apply Changes” button, then the new
settings are applied each time the BT-AP 111 module is reset. Otherwise, the existing defaults are used whenever
the module is next reset. Before submitting your Telnet settings there is a check box to make a default settings for
a BT-AP 111.

6. Miscellaneous Settings
When you are clicking on Miscellaneous Settings tab; you can find the web page same as on your right column. In
a Misc Settings three types of settings included.
The “IP Address Selection” portion of the page allows configuration of the BT-AP 111 module to automatically obtain
an IP address or use a static IP address at start up. If the “DHCP/AutoIP” option is chosen, the BT-AP 111 module
will first attempt to get an IP address from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server cannot be located, the BT-AP 111
module will obtain a link local IP address using the AutoIP protocol.
If the “Static IP” option is chosen, then the “Static IP Address”, “Subnet Mask”, and “Default Gateway” fields need to
be filled in.

1) Static IP address
Some infrastructure situations have to use static addressing, such as when finding the Domain Name System (DNS)
host that will translate domain names to IP addresses. Static addresses are also convenient, but not absolutely
necessary, to locate servers inside an enterprise. An address obtained from a DNS server comes with a time to live,
or caching time, after which it should be looked up to confirm that it has not changed. Even static IP addresses do
change as a result of network administration.
2) Subnet settings
All computers that belong to a subnet are addressed with an identical common, most-significant bit-group in their IP
address, which is called their routing prefix.
3) Default gateway
A host uses a default gateway when an IP packet's destination address belongs to someplace outside the local
subnet. The default gateway address is usually an interface belonging to the LAN's border router.
NOTE: Clicking the “Update Settings” button will cause the settings to be saved.
The “General Configuration Settings” portion of the page allows modification of the “Module Name” and “UPnP port
number”, “MAC Address Byte” and “Inactivity Timeout”.
4) UPnP port
UPnP is an extension of plug-and-play, a technology for dynamically attaching devices directly to a computer,
although UPnP is not directly related to the earlier plug-and-play technology. UPnP devices are "plug-and-play" in
that when connected to a network they automatically established working configurations with other devices.
You defined the UPnP port number as per your network management requirements.
In BT-AP 111 manufacturer assigned MAC address byte but you can change the MAC address byte as per your
requirements.
Inactivity timeout is related with the connection between client & server, if inactivity occurs 20 minutes long than it
causes timeout or connection refused.
NOTE: Clicking the “Update Settings” button will cause the settings to be saved.
The “Restore Factory Defaults” portion of the page allows restoring all of the options to their default states.

7. Strong Data Security over Bluetooth
New wireless data security guidelines are being discussed by the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard,
PCI DSS. Currently, with the formation of a Special Interest Group, SIG, they are reviewing the security needs and
weaknesses found in WiFi wireless networks used for payment applications. Bluetooth, is also gaining strong market
acceptance in the payments industry, and similar guidelines will likely be applied soon.
In order to advance Bluetooth wireless applications into this area now, Amp’ed RF is presenting a scheme for strong
data security over a Bluetooth system, BlueGuard, described in this paper.
3-DES Encryption
BlueGuard uses a 3-DES cipher, with a 16 byte, double length key strength. A 24 byte key is also optional. This
fulfils the FIPS 140-2, Level 3 requirements for encryption algorithm and key strength.
The native link level security of Bluetooth is not sufficiently strong for the PCI industry.
