Security
The security screen allows for entering and maintaining of
authorized and unauthorized access point lists. This is a
feature that is used for determining if there are rogue/hostile
access points within striking distance of the network.
The "security feature" is enabled by checking the "check for
unauthorized AP's" found on the screen.
Authorized List
The "authorized lists" is a list that contains the MAC address-
es of access points that are authorized to broadcast in the area
to be concerned. This list can be created one of three ways.
The first way is by entering MAC addresses in the topmost edit
field on the security screen. Then the "ADD" button is pressed
to add the address to the list. The next method is to retrieve
a previously saved list or a list that has been created on a PC
or laptop.
The final method is by pressing the "GENERATE AUTHORIZED
LIST" button. This may be pressed after leaving the
YellowjacketPLUS in the access point screen for a period
where all access points have been seen. All of these MAC
addresses will be moved into the authorized list.
This list can be saved to RAM by pressing the "SAVE" button.
This Authorized listing may be cleared by pressing the "CLR"
icon on the iPaq. This is found next to the list box.
Unauthorized List
The unauthorized list is populated when the security feature
is turned on via the option screen. Any MAC addresses seen
and demodulated by the receiver that are not in the current
authorized list will be flagged and inserted into the unauthor-
ized MAC address list.
Items in this list can be saved or retrieved to/from RAM by
pressing the "SAVE" or "RETRIEVE" buttons.
If the MAC addresses found in the unauthorized list is to be
authorized, simply select the entry in the list box and press
the "AUTH" button.
This list may be cleared by pressing the "CLR" button found
next to the list box.
Unauthorized Warning
When YellowjacketPLUS detects any AP
that is not included in the Authorized list,
an ALERT! screen will appear and audible
warning beep will be heard. Press OK to
close the ALERT! screen. Remember that
YellowjacketPLUS will continue to sound off
the alarm each time any unauthorized AP is
detected until it is placed in the Authorized
list by the user. Check your Options Screen
to turn this security alert ON or OFF.
