Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 177 Administration Tab Introduction The system is highly customizable and can be configured to suit the needs of your enterprise. The Administration screen allows you to perform various administrative activities such as event, device, and user management, configure the system and location settings, and enable integration with SAFE and third party applications. Administration Screen The Administration screen includes two panes. On the left, you see policy groups categorized into global policies and local policies; Global policies are grouped under the Global tab while Local policies are grouped under the Local tab. On the right, you see the details of the selected policy node. The following figure displays the Administration tab. Global tab
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 178 Local Tab Global Policies Global policies are the policies that are applicable to the entire system. A superuser or an administrator with rights to the root location can modify the global policies. Click the Global tab on the Administration screen to view the policies groups under this tab. Event Settings The Event Settings option enabled you to configure the following event settings in the system.  Hotspot SSID's  Event Regeneration  Vulnerable SSID's Vulnerable SSID APs have well known default SSIDs and many users may not change these SSIDs when deploying the APs. Therefore it is highly likely that APs using default SSIDs are present in the enterprise neighborhood. If an enterprise Client probes for a default SSID, it is at risk of connecting to the neighborhood AP without the user necessarily knowing about it. Also if an enterprise AP uses a default SSID, such an AP may attract undesirable Clients to connect to it. If you consider an SSID to be vulnerable to hackers, you can open the Vulnerable SSIDs screen and enter the SSID under SSID (ASCII character string). Click Add and then Apply to place the SSID in your database. If an AP point with a vulnerable SSID is detected, the system generates an event. Note: Commonly known SSIDs are listed by default. To enter a blank SSID: no string, click <Add> without entering any text. The list shows the SSID as NULL.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 179 Remove SSIDs from this list by selecting the SSIDs and clicking Delete. To remove the SSIDs from the database, click Apply. Vulnerable SSIDs Regeneration Some events are generated repeatedly when the cause persists; for example, Denial of Service (DoS) (Security) and traffic events (Monitoring). The Regeneration screen enables you to specify how often an event is repeated if the cause persists under the Event Regeneration Interval. (Minimum: 1 hour; Maximum: 168 hours; Default: 24 hours)
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 180 Event Regeneration Interval Hotspot SSIDs It is highly likely that hotspot APs are present in the enterprise neighborhood. If enterprise Client probes for well known hotspot SSID, it is at risk of connecting to the hotspot AP without the user necessarily knowing about it. Also if enterprise AP uses hotspot SSID on it, such an AP may attract undesirable Clients to connect to it. If you consider an SSID to be vulnerable to hackers, you can open the Hotspot SSIDs screen and enter the SSID under SSID (ASCII character string). Click Add and then Apply to place the SSID in your database. If an AP with a vulnerable SSID is detected, the system generates an event. Note: The system lists commonly known SSIDs by default. To enter a blank SSID: that is, with no string, click <Add> without entering any text. The list shows the SSID as NULL.

Thresholds Threshold settings determine the status of devices in terms of up-down association and connectivity. The Thresholds screen enables you to set parameters for APs, clients, and sensors. Device Thresholds Device Threshold Parameters contains the following settings:  AP Timeout  Activity Timeout: If the system senses no activity of the AP for the period specified here, it declares the AP inactive. (Minimum: 60 seconds; Maximum: 600 seconds; Default: 300 seconds)  Client Timeouts  Activity Timeout: If the system senses no activity from a Client for the period specified here, it declares the Client inactive. (Minimum: 120 seconds; Maximum: 1200 seconds; Default: 600 seconds)  Association Timeout: If the system sees no communication between an associated AP and Client pair for the period specified here, it declares the association as timed out. (Minimum: 120 seconds; Maximum: 1200 seconds; Default: 600  Sensor Parameters  Maximum Number of Sensors Allowed: Maximum number of sensors allowed to connect to the system at a given time. (Maximum value is governed by the license applied and is a Read-Only field.)
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 187  Sensor Timeout: The sensor sends keep alive information to the server at a regular time interval specified here, to tell the server that it is alive. If the system does not receive this keep alive information for a time span specified here, it declares the sensor inactive. Note: Sensor timeout is not user configurable for this release and has been fixed as 600 seconds.  RF Signal Computation Constants  Moving Average Constant: A constant used to find the weighted average of signal strength as seen by a sensor for a transmitter. Higher value gives more weight to more recently seen signal strength values. (Minimum: 0; Maximum: 1; Default: 0.05) sensor observes signal strengths as RSSI reported by the driver. The system converts this information to dBm values for further use. The conversion formula for this is different for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency spectrum. The formula is dBm = RSSI + dBm Conversion Constant.  RSSI <-> dBm Conversion Constant for 802.11a: This value used for 5 GHz band is set to -98.  RSSI <-> dBm Conversion Constant for 802.11b/g: This value used for 2.4 GHz band is set to -90.  Sensor Server Communication  Frequency of Device Updates: The system is informed immediately when device attributes change or when a device is first detected. If no such changes take place, the system should still be informed about the device updates. Here you can set that time after which the system is notified of the updates. (Minimum: 1 day; Maximum: 365 days; Default: 36 days)  Frequency of Signal Strength Updates: The system should be periodically informed about the signal strength updates. Here you can set that time after which the system is notified. (Minimum: 1 minute; Maximum: 5 minutes; Default: 2 minutes)  Records Constants (per Sensor): A sensor maintains records for APs, Clients, and associations. The constants below define the maximum number of APs, Clients, and associations for which to maintain records with the sensor(s).  Maximum Number of AP records to keep: Specifies the maximum number of APs for which to maintain records with the sensor(s). (Minimum: 100; Maximum: 500; Default: 128)  Maximum Number of Client records to keep: Specifies the maximum number of Clients for which to maintain records are with the sensor(s). (Minimum: 100; Maximum: 500; Default: 256)  Maximum Number of Association records to keep: Specifies the maximum number of associations for which to maintain records with the sensor(s). (Minimum: 100; Maximum: 500; Default: 128) Discovery Sensors and NDs inject discovery (ARP) broadcast packets in bursts on the network at regular intervals. These packets detect the presence of wireless devices connected to the network. If there are multiple sensors and NDs on a subnet, only one injects discovery packets on the subnet.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 188 Device Discovery The following options are available:  Number of packets in a discovery burst: Specifies the number of packets that the system sends in each discovery burst. (Minimum: 10; Maximum: 1000; Default: 300)  Time interval for packets in a discovery burst: Specifies the time interval between two consecutive packets sent in a discovery burst. (Minimum: 10 milliseconds; Maximum: 110 milliseconds; Default: 50 milliseconds)  Time to wait between two discovery bursts: Specifies the time interval between two consecutive discovery bursts. This time also determines the time taken to detect rogue devices connected to your network. More the time to wait between two discovery bursts means more time is required to detect the connectivity of the wireless devices. (Minimum: 3 seconds; Maximum: 1200 seconds; Default: 75 seconds) Banned AP List The Banned AP List dialog enables you to import a list of banned APs to the database. You define the wireless MAC addresses of APs that are blacklisted in your organization. If APs with these MAC addresses become visible, the system generates an alert.

Users The Users screen enables you to add, edit, and delete user accounts.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 191 Manage Users Adding a User Click Add to open the Add User Details dialog.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 192 Adding User Details: User Properties Tab for Local User Under User Details, select the user type (Local, LDAP, or Radius User). Superuser can create user accounts. For local authentication using password, it is necessary to create the user account using this screen before the user can log in. For a Local User, the superuser must specify the following fields:  Login ID: Login ID of the user.  User Role: This field specifies the role to be assigned to the user. The table below shows the user roles and their respective rights.  First and Last Name: First and last name of the user.  Locations: The list of locations where the user has access privilege consistent with the role.  Password: Initial password of the user (which user can later change on his own).  Confirm Password: Reenter the password to help confirm the password before saving.  Email Address: Email address of the user. For LDAP and RADIUS Users, creating user accounts using this screen is optional, because the user account gets automatically created (if not already present) upon the first successful login of the user who is authenticated via LDAP/RADIUS. As a general rule, at the time of authenticating a user, the system always checks if the user password is locally available in the system. If it is not locally available, the system checks if the configuration is provided to access the LDAP authentication service. If so, the system attempts to verify the user password with the LDAP authentication service. If the user password is not available with the LDAP service, the system checks if the configuration is provided to access the RADIUS authentication service. If so, the system attempts to verify the user password with the RADIUS authentication service. In case of LDAP and RADIUS authentication, the system does not maintain local copy of the user password.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 193 Adding User Details: User Properties Tab for LDAP User For LDAP User, the superuser may create user accounts using this screen, prior to the first successful login of the user. For this, the following fields can be specified:  Login ID: Login ID of the user.  User Role: This field specifies the role to be assigned to the user. The table below shows the user roles and their respective rights.  Locations: The list of locations where the user has access privilege consistent with the role. Notes: 1. The User Role and Locations as specified above in the User Details screen are effective only if the corresponding attributes are not provided by the LDAP server at the time of authentication. When the LDAP server provides any of the above attributes, the LDAP provided values override the manually specified values in this screen. 2. To enable the LDAP authentication, configuration details to access the LDAP server must be provided in the LDAP configuration screen (described later). That screen also facilitates providing default User Role and Locations for all LDAP authenticated users, if the LDAP server does not provide those attributes. The User Role and Locations fields in the User Details screen facilitates providing specific default values for the corresponding attributes for the specific users, if the LDAP server does not provide them.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 194 Adding User Details: User Properties Tab for RADIUS User For a RADIUS User, the superuser may create user accounts using this screen, prior to the first successful login of the user. For this, the following fields can be specified::  Login ID: Login ID of the user.  User Role: This field specifies the role to be assigned to the user. The table below shows the user roles and their respective rights.  First and Last Name: First and last name of the user.  Locations: This field specifies the locations where the user has access privilege consistent with the role.  Email Address: This field specifies the email address of the user. Notes: 1. The User Role and Locations as specified above in User Details screen are effective only if the corresponding attributes are not provided by the RADIUS server at the time of authentication. When the RADIUS server provides any of the above attributes, the RADIUS provided values override the manually specified values in this screen. The RADIUS server never provides First/Last Name and Email Address attributes. 2. To enable the RADIUS authentication, configuration details to access the RADIUS server must be provided in the RADIUS configuration screen (described later). That screen also facilitates providing default User Role and Location values for all RADIUS authenticated users, if the RADIUS server does not provide those attributes.

When it is not checked, either of the Open or SSL/TLS connection to the LDAP server is allowed.  Verify LDAP Server’s Certificate: When this option is checked, the connection to the LDAP server is not allowed unless the certificate check passes. Click Certificate Management to add trusted root CA Certificate(s) for the LDAP server. When this option is not checked, the connection to the LDAP server is allowed without checking the LDAP server certificate.  LDAP Configuration Details: Provide details for the system to be able to search records in the LDAP server.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 199  Base Distinguished Name: Specifies the base distinguished name of the directory to which you want to connect, for example, o=democorp, c=au. Note: Distinguished Name is a unique identifier of an entry in the Directory Information Tree (DIT). The name is the concatenation of Relative Distinguished Names (RDNs) from the top of the DIT down to the entry in question.  User ID Attribute: Specifies the user ID attribute string that the system uses to identify the user, as defined in your LDAP schema. (Default: cn)  User Role Attribute: Specifies the user role attribute string that the system uses to identify the user’s role, as defined in your LDAP schema.  User Location Attribute: Specifies the user location attribute string that the system uses to identify the locations where the user is allowed access, as defined in your LDAP schema.  Filter String: Specifies certain attributes: existing or new: that you can use for different users, based on which the server filters the users, for example, (IsUser=A). This feature can help restrict the use of the system to a certain set of users.  Default Privileges for LDAP Users: This section specifies the default role and the default locations assigned when new LDAP users log in, for the case where the role and locations attributes are not provided by the LDAP server. Note that the default values here apply to all users authenticated via LDAP. Specific default values can also be provided for the specific LDAP users using Edit User dialog. If the LDAP server provides user role and locations attribute at the time of authentication, the attributes provided by the LDAP server will override the default role and locations attributes.  User Role: Enables you to specify the default role for the new LDAP users. You can select one of the following four options. The default user role is Viewer.  1. Superuser 2. Administrator 3. Operator 4. Viewer   Locations: Displays the list of locations to which a new LDAP user has access rights.  Click Change… to open the Assign Locations dialog. Here, you can view the complete list of locations and select the locations to which the LDAP user can have access rights. Click OK to assign the selected location(s) to the user.  LDAP Authentication Details: Specify user credentials required to search the LDAP compliant directory. This is required only in case the directory does not allow anonymous search.  Select Authentication Required to search LDAP? if the LDAP server requires administrator login to search the LDAP compliant directory. Specify the Admin User DN and Password to log in.  If you select Append Base DN, the Base Distinguished Name specified in LDAP Configuration Details is appended to the Admin User DN.  Test Settings: Enables you to test whether the specified settings are correct. To verify the settings, enter the User Name and Password for a specific user and click <Test>. Note: Test is not available unless you change the settings. Apply is unavailable until you use Test. RADIUS Server Configuration The system can use a RADIUS server to facilitate user authentication.The RADIUS Configuration screen facilitates configuration of the RADIUS server access parameters.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 200 RADIUS Configuration Check Enable RADIUS Integration for CLI login to enable CLI user authentication using RADIUS and check Enable RADIUS Integration for GUI login to enable GUI user authentication using RADIUS. The RADIUS Configuration screen has Authentication, Accounting, and Advanced Settings tabs.  The Authentication tab is used to specify configuration to access the RADIUS Authentication server  The Accounting tab is used to specify configuration to access the RADIUS Accounting server  The Advanced Settings tab is used to specify the realm (domain) for the CLI and the GUI users. You can also specify in this tab how the real name is to be appended to the username (prefix notation or postfix notation). User Authentication The systems supports four authentication options. The superuser has to set any one authentication option, and it then applies to all users. The four authentication options supported by the system are as follows: 1. Password only: In this option, the user authentication is performed using the password. The user has to enter the username and the password at the login prompt. The password may be locally verified by the system or may be verified using the external LDAP or RADIUS authentication service, as appropriate. When this authentication option is set, the login screen appears as follows:
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 201 Login Screen – Password only authentication 2. Certificate only: In this option, the user authentication is performed using the client certificate (such as smart card). The user has to insert a smart card containing the client certificate in a reader attached to the computer from where the console is accessed and then press the Login button. The system then verifies the client certificate and obtains user identity (username) from the certificate. Other attributes for the user are retrieved either locally or from the external authentication services such as LDAP or RADIUS, as appropriate. When this authentication option is set, the login screen appears as follows: Login Screen – Certificate only authentication 3. Certificate and Password: In this option, both the client certificate and the password are required for the user authentication. The user has to insert a smart card containing the client certificate in a reader attached to the computer from where the console is accessed, as well as enter the password at the login prompt. The system verifies the password locally or using the external LDAP or RADIUS authentication service, as appropriate. When this authentication option is set, the login screen appears as follows:
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 202 Login Screen – Certificate and Password authentication 4. Certificate or Password: In this option, the user authentication is permitted either using the password or using the client certificate. This option is appropriate for organizations which have only partially migrated to using smart cards for authentication. At login prompt, the user can select certificate authentication by checking the Use certificate for login box or continue with password authentication by enterping login name and password. When this authentication option is set, the login screen appears as follows: Login Screen – Certificate or Password authentication The superuser can use following screen to set one of the above four authentication options namely Password only, Certificate only, Certificate and password or Certificate or password.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 203 Certificate Authentication The required authentication option can be activated based on the various combinations of the Enable certificate based authentication box, Allow access without certificate box, and Users must provide password along with certificate box. The following table describes the activation of the authentication options based on the check boxes selected by the user. Authentication option to activate Check box to be selected Enable certificate based authentication Allow access without certificate Users must provide password along with certificate Password only No - - Certificate only Yes No No Certificate and password Yes No Yes Certificate or password Yes Yes No Note: In order to use certificate based authentication, it is necessary that the GUI host is able to access the server at TCP port 4433. If there is a firewall between the GUI host and the server, port 4433 must be opened from the host to the server, in order to be able to use certificate based authentication. When either Certificate only, Certificate and Password, or Certificate or Password option is activated, the additional details should be provided as follows:
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 204  The field in the client certificate from which user identity can be retrieved by the system.  Root CA certificates to facilitate the verification of the client certificate.  Preferred method to check for certificate revocation. Password Policy The Password Policy determines the minimum requirements for system passwords. This policy applies to all User Roles: superuser,, administrator, operator, and viewer. If you change this policy, older passwords are not affected. Only passwords created after a policy change are subject to the new policy. This setting applies only to local authentication and does not apply to LDAP and RADIUS authentication. Password Policy Under Password Policy, you can specify the following:  Minimum number of characters: Enables you to specify the minimum number of characters to be used for constructing passwords. (Minimum: 4; Maximum: 15; Default: 6)  Numeric Characters required?: Enables you to enforce the use of numeric characters for constructing passwords. (Default: No)  Special Characters required?: Enables you to enforce the use of special characters for constructing passwords. (Default: No) Account locking
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 205 Account locking allows the superuser to specify the account locking policy for the selected user type – Superuser, administrator, operator, or viewer. Account locking protects the system from spurious logins through dictionary attacks. This setting applies only to those authentication options which use password as at least one of the authentication mechanisms. Account Suspension Under Account Suspension, you can select the User Type and then specify the following:  Allowed Number of Login Failures: Enables the superuser to configure the number of failed login attempts after which the account is suspended. (Minimum: 3 times in 5 minutes; Maximum: 10 times in 30 minutes; Default: 3 times in 10 minutes)  Suspension Time: Enables the superuser to define the amount of time for which the selected user is prevented from accessing the system. (Minimum: 5 minutes; Maximum: 30 minutes; Default: 15 minutes) User Preferences The User Preferences screen enables a user to change his/her own login password and other preferences.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 206 User Preferences Under Password Details, user can specify/modify his email address and password. Password change from this screen is not applicable for the users using LDAP/RADIUS authentication, or for users for whom password based authentication has been disabled. Also, changing the email address from this screen is not applicable for LDAP authenticated user. Under User Preferences, the user can change his/her own Session Timeout, Language Preference, or Time Zone. Click Apply to save to the new settings. Location Settings The Location Settings dialog sets the following location settings in the system. Auto Location Tagging A location tag that is attached to a device or an event helps identify the location of that event or device. The system has an Auto Location Tagging feature, which refers to the capability of the system to automatically ‘tag’ the devices and events to the locations where they have been detected. The Auto Location Tagging screen enables you to configure the settings for automatic tagging of devices discovered by the system and events generated by the system.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 207 Auto Location Tagging Auto Location Tagging Configuration contains the following options:  Devices: Based on the initial location of the device, the APs and Clients are auto-tagged immediately upon discovery. You can select how the system should compute the initial location tag of the APs or Clients. The system never auto-tags an AP or Client, if it is tagged manually. To re-enable auto location-tagging for a device, you must delete the device and let the system re-discover it. You must manually tag sensors. You can do one of the following:  Choose the location tag of the sensor that sees the highest RSSI value for that device.  Choose the location tag of the selected number of sensors that see the highest RSSI values for that device. (Minimum: 2; Maximum: 10; Default: 2) You can also discard the sensors that see a lower RSSI after comparing the value with a sensor that reports a higher RSSI. (Minimum: 20 dB; Maximum: 40 dB; Default: 30 dB)  Events: The system tags events based on the location of the devices that participate in the events. The system initially identifies a primary device — AP, Client, or Sensor for each event. The system automatically tags the location of events based on the tag for the primary device associated with the event. Note: The system never retags an event. You can tag the location of an event manually on the Events screen by right-clicking the event and from the resulting menu by selecting Change Location. Location Tracking
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 208 The location of a particular device can be tracked using the location tracking feature. The system needs at least three sensors to perform location tracking. The Location Tracking screen enables you to define the parameters that control location tracking. Location Tracking Default Location Tracking Parameters contains the following options:  Location Tracking Technique: Select the technique used for location tracking. The technique available is Generalized Likelihood.  Maximum number of Sensors to use for Location Tracking: Select the maximum number of sensors used for location tracking. Sensors track down the location of a device and the system uses sensors that see the maximum values. A higher value is likely to give better results. (Minimum: 3; Maximum: 10; Default: 4)  Default Transmit Power of AP (mW): Location tracking needs as input the transmit power of the AP being located. When transmit power is unknown, the default value set here is used. (Minimum: 1 mW/0 dBm; Maximum: 100 mW/20 dBm; Default: 30 mW/15 dBm)  Default Transmit Power of Client (mW): Location tracking needs as input the transmit power of the Client being located. When transmit power is unknown, the default value set here is used. (Minimum: 1 mW/0 dBm; Maximum: 100 mW/20 dBm; Default: 10 mW/ dBm)  Signal Strength Monitoring Devices: Location tracking is based on the signal strength of the monitoring devices. This value can deviate from the actual values because of subtle variations in the RF environment. You can specify APs only, Sensors only, and Sensors and/or APs to be used to control location tracking. Using the system’s Application Programming Interface (API), APs can be reported as a source of signal strength. Information from these APs can be used for location tracking. Live RF Views
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 209 The Live RF Views screen enables you to define the parameters that are used in live RF views. These parameters are specific to each environment. Tuning the parameters enables you to see more accurate views. Live RF Views Default Live RF Views Parameters contains the following options:  Intrusion Detection and Prevention Regions: Specify the dBm values for which the system shows the intrusion detection and prevention regions in the sensor coverage views.  Intrusion Detection Display Threshold (dBm): Detection Range is the area over which sensors can reliably detect wireless activity. Intrusion Detection Display Threshold determines the threshold for this range. (Default: -85 dBm).  Intrusion Prevention Display Threshold (dBm): Prevention Range is the area over which sensors can prevent unauthorized wireless activity. Intrusion Prevention Display Threshold determines the threshold for this range. (Default: -75 dBm) Both the Detection and Prevention ranges are affected by parameters in the RF Propagation section. Note: The reliability of the prevention also depends on the Intrusion Prevention Level selected on AdministrationLocal tabOperating PoliciesIntrusion PreventionIntrusion Prevention Level tab. RF Propagation The RF Propagation screen enables you to define default AP, Client, and Sensor antenna gain values.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 210 RF Propagation Default RF Propagation Settings contains the following options:  Default Antenna Gain Values: Specify the default sensor, AP, and Client antenna gain values. Antenna gain is a characteristic of an antenna used for transmitting or receiving signal, defined as gain in power when signal is received (or transmitted) using the antenna.  Sensor Antenna Gain (dB): Specifies the gain of antenna attached to the sensor. (Default: 2.3 dB)  AP Antenna Gain (dB): Specifies the gain of antenna attached to the AP. (Default: 2.3 dB)  Client Antenna Gain (dB): Specifies the gain of antenna attached to the Client. (Default: 0 dBm) Note: If better antennas are used, you should increase the gain.  Transmitter Losses: Select the transmitter signal loss value suited to your environment.  If your environment has metal or concrete walls, select a higher signal value.  If your environment has large spaces where the signal can propagate without much obstruction, select a lower signal loss value When a device transmits, some loss in power occurs due to antenna connectors, electromagnetic, and environmental factors. This loss might be different in different frequency bands. You can also specify the approximate loss in each band.  Loss at Source for 802.11a Transmitter (dB): (Default: 10 dB)  Loss at Source for 802.11b/g Transmitter (dB): (Default: 10 dB)  Signal Decay Values: Signal propagation depends heavily on environment. The obstacles present in environment might impede signal propagation, limiting its range. It is very difficult to accurately model signal propagation in all kinds of environment, but by fine-tuning the following four constants, you can more or less characterize your environment for signal propagation.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 211 Note: The system uses the first set of parameters when the Planner file is imported; the second set for blank, gif, or jpeg files. Minimum and Maximum Signal Decay Constants specify the range for the decay exponent, that is, the exponent at which signal decays with distance. Signal Decay Slope (Beta) and Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha) control how the decay exponent changes from its minimum value to maximum value.  For Nodes with imported SpectraGuard Planner file:  Minimum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)  Maximum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)  Signal Decay Slope (Beta): (Default: 0.08 dBm)  Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha): (Default: -4 dBm)  For Nodes with GIF, JPEG or Blank layout: Minimum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.0 dBm)  Maximum Signal Decay Constant: (Default: 2.5 dBm)  Signal Decay Slope (Beta): (Default: 0.08 dBm)  Signal Decay Inflection (Alpha): (Default: -4 dBm) Note: Planner models most significant objects; therefore Maximum Signal Decay Constant should be close to 2.0. System Settings Encoding Select the language encoding (language setting) to be used to correctly display page encoded language text from the drop down list on the Encoding screen. Default is UTF-8. Parameters like SSID, when configured on the AP using page encoding (either non-english native window or using a language pack) will appear garbled when the page encoding does not match the encoding selected here. Note: For the language encoding to be effective, it is mandatory to select Multilingual in the Language Preference field in Administration GlobalGlobal PoliciesUser ManagementUser Preferences screen along with selection of language encoding from the drop-down list on the Encoding screen.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 212 Encoding Reports The system can display a rich set of reports. The Reports screen enables you to modify the appearance and text in the generated reports. Refer to 'Adding a Report' in the Reports Tab section for more details.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 213 Reports Configuration Auto-deletion The system is designed to store information about devices seen and older events over a period of time. The rate of growth of this information is dependent on the volatility of the wireless environment at the deployed location. This information also becomes obsolete after a certain time. It is necessary to delete this information periodically. Based on the event related configuration done by you, the system also raises and stores a number of events. If the configuration is such that there are significant number of events generated and stored, the stored event data size grows significantly faster. This event data also requires regular cleanup. Auto Deletion allows you to specify values of various auto deletion parameters to control the frequency of deletion of information. The system generates an event for tracking the action of auto deletion. This event gives information only about device deletion. There is no event separately generated that indicates event deletion. Event deletion is also referred to as Event Purging.
Administration Tab SpectraGuard® Enterprise User Guide 214 Auto Deletion The Auto Deletion Parameters window contains the following options:  Access Point Deletion Parameters: Select the checkboxes to choose the category of APs that you would like the system to delete automatically. Specify the number of days of inactivity after which the AP records are automatically deleted. (Minimum: 1 day; Maximum: 30 days)  Uncategorized  Rogue  External Note: Authorized APs are not auto deleted from the system. If you want to delete inactive authorized Access Points, you have to delete them manually. Client Deletion Parameters: Select the check boxes to choose the category of wireless Client devices that you would like the system to automatically delete. Specify the number of days of inactivity after which the wireless Client records are deleted automatically.
