    Connecting to the Network Important! To prevent abuse and intrusion by unauthorized personnel, it is extremely important to install the SpectraGuard Sensor such that it is difficult to unplug the device from the network or from the power outlet. Connecting Power SpectraGuard Sensor runs on a 5V DC connection.

  • Page 18: Connecting To The Network

    SpectraGuard Sensor should be placed on a network segment that can communicate with the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server via multicast. If you are placing the SpectraGuard Sensor across a router boundary that separates it from the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server, ensure that multicast routing is enabled for the Multicast Group Address 224.0.23.11 on this router.
  • Page 19 Installing SpectraGuard Sensor Wait for two minutes! Check the Status LEDs. If all LEDs glow green, then the SpectraGuard Sensor is operational and connected to the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. The SpectraGuard Sensor is configured and ready to go. Check your SpectraGuard Enterprise Console to ensure that this SpectraGuard Sensor has been detected.

  • Page 20: Chapter 5 Manual Configuration Of Spectraguard Sensor

    Important! If the installation in Chapter 4 was successful, stop! You do not need to configure SpectraGuard Sensor manually. In this chapter you will learn how to manually configure SpectraGuard Sensor. The Sensor can be configured in two ways: Through the Web Interface (http) ...

  • Page 21: Configuring Spectraguard Sensor Through Web Interface (Http)

    Important! For Web configuration using the crossover cable, make sure that your machine is not running a DHCP Server. You can figure this out by looking at the SpectraGuard Sensor LEDs. If LED1 is yellow and LED2 is Fast Blinking Green, it means that Sensor did not get an IP address from the DHCP Server. In that case, the SpectraGuard Sensor network settings would default to the following: IP Address: 192.168.1.245...

    Manual Configuration of SpectraGuard Sensor Figure 7 Login Screen To log in, you have to perform the following steps: Set your laptop as per the same subnet settings and a different IP address (ignore if already done). Type the correct IP address obtained from the DHCP Server in the Web Interface, for Web configuration using the Ethernet cable.

    SpectraGuard Enterprise Servers in the network. Important! The “Server ID” setting in the SpectraGuard Sensor Console should be left as '0' if you want SpectraGuard Sensor to auto detect the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server. In case you set the Server ID manually, it must be set to the Server ID of the SpectraGuard Enterprise Server.

Route Settings—Normally, you do not need to specify the route settings. You should specify the route settings only if the default gateway provided by the DHCP Server is not the gateway to the network segment where SpectraGuard Enterprise Server is installed.
