    • Password = “admin”. NOTE: When BlueGate 1000 is reset in a DHCP environment it is possible that it will have a different IP address assigned to it by the server. See Section 5.1 for information on how to obtain the new IP address.

  • Page 11: Access The Internal Web Server

    BlueGate 1000’s dynamically assigned IP address is included on the BlueGate 1000 compact disc (see Section 5.1). In a non-DHCP environment BlueGate 1000 defaults to a static IP address that can be used to access the internal Web server (see Section 5.2).

  • Page 33: Dhcp

    When DHCP is disabled, fixed IP addresses are read from BlueGate 1000’s on-board NVRAM. NOTE: If DHCP is enabled BlueGate 1000 ignores the IP address(es) stored in its NVRAM. 6.6.1.2.9 NAT NAT (Network Address Translation) is an Internet standard that allows a network to use one set of IP addresses for internal traffic and a different set of addresses for external traffic.

  • Page 34: Authorization

    • Authorization allows access to resources, based on the user's identity. Authentication, in this context, applies only to access to BlueGate 1000; it does not necessarily permit access to any higher-level network services. If authentication is disabled, all Bluetooth devices are allowed to connect to BlueGate 1000.

    The Configuration > IP Addresses for BT devices internal Web page is used to specify three IP address ranges and the number of addresses in each range. Together, these addresses form an address pool from which BlueGate 1000’s internal DHCP server allocates IP addresses to connecting Bluetooth devices.

  • Page 40: Download

    When BlueGate 1000 is reset it disconnects from the DHCP server. The server may assign a different IP address to BlueGate 1000 when it reconnects. If this happens run the Java applet BGIPLookup.html to discover the new IP address assigned to BlueGate 1000.
