1 Introduction Bluegiga Access Server product family offers cutting-edge wireless Bluetooth® routers, Access Points and management tools - enabling you to create efficient and scalable networks. The open and adaptable platform enables you to meet your applications' and customers' needs. Bluegiga Access Server AX4 is a powerful Linux based wireless connectivity platform targeted for eHealth, point-of-sale, proximity marketing, captive portal, and long range Bluetooth connectivity applications.
2 Getting started with Bluegiga Access Device Access Point and Access Server can be controlled in four ways: by using Bluegiga Solution Manager (see BSM documentation for details) by using the WWW interface by entering commands and using applications at the shell prompt by sending and/or retrieving files to/from the device. The default username is root and the default password is buffy. 2.
Figure 1: Physical interfaces of Bluegiga Access Point In addition, Access Point 3241 has a hole in the bottom of the unit. Trough that hole user can press a button. If that button is pressed while the unit is powered on, configuration is reset to factory defaults. There is no power switch in Access Point 3201 or 3241. The adapter is the disconnection device; the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
modem) under a cover in the bottom of the unit. See the picture below. Figure 4: Connectors below Access Server AX4 bottom cover 2.1.3 Access Server connectors The physical interface locations of Access Server 229x are described in figures below. Figure 5: Physical interfaces of Bluegiga Access Server 229x There is no power switch in Access Server. The adapter is the disconnection device; the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Figure 6: Leds and Compact Flash card slot of Access Server 229x All the blue status leds are turned off and the rightmost blue led (closest to the power led) blinks on four second intervals when the boot procedure is finished and the unit is ready to be connected. Bluetooth led, (blue led furthest away from power led in Access Server) blinks quickly every 30 seconds indicating Bluetooth service activity. 2.
Figure 7: Windows 7 listing UPnP devices Bluegiga Access Devices will have name "Access Point/Server Wserial number" where the serial number corresponds to the serial number in the sticker underneath the unit. To connect to Bluegiga Access Device web interface you can either double click the icon of the correct device or right click the icon and select View device webpage. Figure 8: Connecting to web setup using UPnP 2.2.
Figure 9: Wrapfinder 2.0 started listing Access Devices within local network After you have started the Wrapfinder software you might be prompted by the firewall applications to allow the use of certain ports by Wrapfinder. There are cases in which it is wise to temporarily disable completely the software firewall running in the PC, if any. Once the Wrapfinder utility has started it automatically runs a search through the local network and lists all found Bluegiga Access Devices.
2.3 Web interface When you have accessed the Bluegiga Access Device web interface using either of the methods described in previous chapter you should get main WWW page shown below: If you see a login prompt instead of this page, you have already eHealth software bundle installed. See eHealth software user guide for more information. From the top-level page, click Setup to log in to the configuration interface.
For details of WWW interface components, see Default web interface and iWRAP Bluetooth user guide. 2.4 Access Device software bundles Access Device application use cases may require additional software packages to be installed for full functionality. For key applications, these are also available in software bundles. A bundle is a single update packet which contains all software packages for certain application. You can order Access Devices with a bundle of your choice pre-installed.
3 Connecting Access Device to network This chapter describes Access Device network interfaces and WiFi and modem configuration. For additional documentation, see separate "Networking Guide" document. 3.1 Network interfaces The network interfaces used in Access Devices are described in table below: Table 2: Access Device network interfaces and their description Interface Description nap Dynamic virtual ethernet ("cable") device. This is the device having an IP address.
It is therefore recommended to enable option Setup - Network settings - Modem settings - Force connection open. With this enabled, modem Internet connection is checked every 10 minutes with the ping command. If the check fails, modem connection is restarted. Some modems power up in mass storage mode. Supported modems will be switched to modem mode automatically.
WEP network = { # WEP encryption ssid="Bluegiga" key_mgmt=NONE wep_key0="ASCII WEP key" #wep_key0=0123456789 wep_tx_keyidx=0 } ASCII WEP key is given in quotes (e.g. "abcde" or "abcdeabcdeabc") hex digits are given without quotes (e.g. 0123456789 or 01234567890123456789012345) WPA/WPA2 network = { # WPA/WPA2 encryption ssid="Bluegiga" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="WPA shared key" } shared key length must be 8..63 characters A reboot is needed for the new settings to take effect.
settings - Basic configuration. Basic configuration settings is used to change hostapd driver backend, SSID of your network, hardware mode, country code, Wi-Fi channel or maximum simultaneous client number. Default values should work with most of USB Wi-Fi dongles. Depending on used encryption, use Edit configuration file menu option and change the following lines: No encryption Change nothing more.
3.4 Shell prompt access Shell prompt access may be needed for advanced controlling operations that cannot be performed by using the WWW interface. You can get to the shell prompt by using SSH. When you are connected to the same LAN network with your Access Server or Access Point, you can find its IP address using uPnP or wrapfinder application (see Getting started with Bluegiga Access Device). You can use SSH to get shell prompt access also using Bluetooth LAN Access or PAN profile.
The boot process may stop at the following U-Boot prompt: Hit any key to stop autoboot: U-Boot> 0 If this happens, enter command boot to continue to boot Linux. 9. Wait for the device to boot up and end with the following prompt: Please press Enter to activate this console. 10. Press Enter to activate the console. You will be logged in as root in directory /root: [root@wrap root] 11. You can now control Access Server from the management console. 3.4.
4 Using services This chapter contains documentation of the default system services available in Access Devices. 4.1 Default services Access Device services are started automatically at system power-up or when another server daemon needs them. You can check which servers are currently installed and/or configured to start at system power-up with command chkconfig --list or navigating in WWW Setup to Setup - Applications - Default startup applications.
4.2 Managing software components (wpkgd) To maximize memory available for customer applications, Access Devices ship with minimal amount of software components installed. To see the installed software components and their version numbers, navigate to Setup - Advanced - System Information - List installed software components or give command wpkgd list at the shell prompt. See Available Software Packages for more information of software components installed by default and available separately.
Uninstalling software components You can uninstall software components from the shell prompt. To list installed software components use command wpkgd list. To uninstall a component, use command wpkgd erase [component]. See the wpkgd command without parameters for more information.
Note eHealth and Captive Portal bundles install more advanced lighttpd web server, which can be installed from its own software package also. 4.5 System time Access Device has Real Time Clock (RTC) which is backed up with a battery so it runs even when device is powered down. Access Device is also keeping the system time in sync with Internet time servers. 4.5.1 Real time clock (RTC) The system clock is read from the battery operated real time clock during boot.
4.6.2 Using CIFS mount To use a CIFS mount (for example a shared folder in Windows), you need the cifs-client software component installed in Access Device. First, create a mountpoint with command mkdir -p /mnt/cifs. Mount the directory by using command mount.cifs /sharename /mnt/cifs -o user=username,nounix. You will then be prompted for password of the username you specified. After entering the correct password, you can access the share in directory /mnt/cifs.
5. side. Do not power down Access Device while blue leds are blinking from side to side or if all of them are turned on. Installation takes 5-15 minutes (in AX4 less than 5), be patient. 6. Check that only led labeled "1" in Access Point or AX4 (blue led closest to the power led in Access Server 229x) turns on and off every 4 seconds.
5 Using utilities Access Device ship with many standard Linux utilities pre-installed. Most of the utilities are part of BusyBox; see Enabled Busybox Applets for complete list of enabled BusyBox commands. For a complete list of all installed and available utilities and software packages, see Available Software Packages. 5.1 Wrapid - Bluegiga Access Device System Information You can get detailed information of Access Device hardware and software at WWW setup Advanced settings Hardware information.
$ badctl --help usage: badctl DEVICE [COMMAND] Manage Bluegiga Access Device and read state of button available devices: modem internal GPRS/3G modem wifi internal Wi-Fi usb external USB port button state of button commands (all devices except button): on switch power on off switch power off reset do power cycle exit status (commands): 0 executed successfully (OK) 1 problems during running command 2 unable to open device /dev/led exit status (state of button): 0 button is not pressed 1 button is pressed 5.
5.4.2 Finder Protocol Finder protocol is used to find Access Servers or Access Points using a UDP broadcast message. Finder server is listening in port 9990 for broadcast and unicast messages. The reply is unicasted to sender. In Access Server and Access Point a finder message can be sent with command finder. See finder --help for usage. The finder server is enabled by default.
Bluegiga SMS Gateway Server is not installed by default. It can be installed from software component smsgw. When Bluegiga SMS Gateway Server is installed, it is also enabled to start at boot by default. You can disable it later (for example if you need to use the same modem for Internet connection) either with command chkconfig smsgw off or using the setup application's WWW interface at Setup Applications Default startup applications smsgw.
command watchdog id timeout. For example, watchdog test 5.
6 Using 3rd Party Peripherals 6.1 Using USB, Compact Flash or microSD Memories Access Device's persistent memory storage can be extended by using a USB storage device like a memory dongle or a portable hard drive or a Compact Flash memory card. These are also used by the wpkgd daemon each time this kind of device is inserted, it is automatically mounted and scanned for management packets, which are processed and unmounted. Access Server AX4 supports also microSD card.
If your application uses USB storage devices or Compact Flash memory cards for additional storage, you must ensure that these services do not start before these storage devices are properly mounted. You should therefore disable the automatic startup of application(s) in question either by changing their startup state to off in WWW Setup at Setup Applications Default startup applications or at shell prompt with command chkconfig application off. The system startup script /etc/rc.d/rc.
6.3 Using USB webcams Access Devices features can be extended by adding external USB webcam. All devices providing generic USB video class devices are supported. Please refer Tested 3rd Party Peripherals to see what devices we have tested. USB webcam drivers are not installed by default. Those can be installed using software component kernel-modules-media. To use the USB webcam we provide one software: mjpg-streamer.
