2. Accessing the Configuration Website
BT-AP111 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.
NOT : 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 “M Network Places”. “M Network Places” can t picall be found b simpl clicking Start and
then My Network Places.
7) Look for a UPnP icon labeled “Luminar 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 b the BT-AP 111 module in a web browser.

4. Status & Configuration
The home web page describes the current status of the BT-AP 111.
Refer to these items below:
1) Name
User defined name. Default set to Bluetooth Access Point.
2) Firmware Revision
Firmware version installed in BT-AP 111.
3) IP Address
Assigned IP address.
4) MAC Address
Assigned MAC address.
5) Inactivity timeout
This is the timeout applied to the connection between client and server.
6) Local Telnet Port Number
Port is a specific socket number applied to a connection to a network. It is useful to provide a unique port
number to access the BT-AP 111 locall . User can provide Telnet Port Number and use the Telnet Settings.
7) Remote Port Number
Port is a specific socket number applied to a remote network connection. To access the BT-AP 111 remotel
this Port number must be applied. Note: when Telnet Mode set to “client”, this Port ma be entered.
8) Telnet Mode
This mode applies to the remote device or machine: 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 facilit via a virtual terminal connection. User data is interspersed
in-band with TELNET control information in an 8-bit b te oriented data connection over the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP). When Telnet Mode is Server, the Telnet Protocol is t picall Telnet. When Telnet
mode is Client, the Telnet Protocol is t picall Raw.
10) Telnet Server IP
When Telnet Mode is Client, specif the Telnet Server IP for telnet server.
11) Telnet Timeout
This is the inactivit disconnection of the telnet, in seconds. Default is “0”, no timeout applied.
NOT : After changing the settings, click the “Appl Changes” button to take effect. “Make these the default settings”
check box will appl the new settings each time the BT-AP 111 device is reset. Otherwise, the existing defaults are
used after the next reset.

5. Miscellaneous Settings
The “IP Address Selection” portion of the page allows configuration of the BT-AP 111 module to automaticall 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 Gatewa ” 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 S stem (DNS)
host that will translate domain names to IP addresses. Static addresses are also convenient, but not absolutel
necessar , 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 gatewa when an IP packet's destination address belongs to someplace outside the local
subnet. The default gatewa address is usuall an interface belonging to the LAN's border router.
NOT : 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 B te” and “Inactivit Timeout”.
4) UPnP port
UPnP is an extension of plug-and-pla , a technolog for d namicall attaching devices directl to a computer,
although UPnP is not directl related to the earlier plug-and-pla technolog . UPnP devices are "plug-and-pla " in
that when connected to a network the automaticall established working configurations with other devices.
Define the UPnP port number as per our network management requirements.
NOT : Clicking the “Update Settings” button will cause the settings to be saved.
The “Restore Factor Defaults” portion of the page allows restoring all of the options to their default states.

6. Strong Data Security over Bluetooth
New wireless data securit guidelines are being discussed b the Pa ment Card Industr Data Securit Standard,
PCI DSS. Currentl , with the formation of a Special Interest Group, SIG, the are reviewing the securit needs and
weaknesses found in WiFi wireless networks used for pa ment applications. Bluetooth, is also gaining strong market
acceptance in the pa ments industr , and similar guidelines will likel be applied soon.
In order to advance Bluetooth wireless applications into this area now, Amp’ed RF is presenting a scheme for strong
data securit over a Bluetooth s stem, BlueGuard, described in this paper.
3-D S ncryption
BlueGuard uses a 3-DES cipher, with a 16 b te, double length ke strength. A 24 b te ke is also optional. This
fulfils the FIPS 140-2, Level 3 requirements for encr ption algorithm and ke strength.
The native link level securit of Bluetooth is not sufficientl strong for the PCI industr .
