</ul>
<blockquote>This utility monitors the wireless hosts that are currently connected
through an Apple Airport or Lucent RG-1000 wireless access point. The utility provides an
editable list of MAC addresses and user-assigned host names for
recording known hosts; when the list of associated hosts is
retrieved from the base station, it is matched against the list of
known hosts, and the associated host names are displayed and unknown hosts are indicated.<br>

<li><b><a href="#IPInspector">AirPort IP Inspector version 1.0 (for
"snow" base station) posted</a> </b> (February 1, 2003)</li>
</ul>
<blockquote> This utility monitors the external (WAN) IP address of a
"snow" AirPort base station, and sends an email notification to a configurable
email address whenever the external IP address changes. Why would anyone
ever want this? See the full description below!<br>

AirPort Port Inspector version 1.0 (for "snow" base station) posted</a>
</b> (January 26, 2003)</li>
</ul>
<blockquote> This utility provides monitoring of the port
maps used by hosts associated with an AirPort base station when NAT is
used. It provides both a detailed and simplified view of open ports; the
detailed view shows information on the remote hosts being accessed by local
hosts, while the simplified view just shows the number of ports used by
each local host. A consequence of this is that the utility can be used to
monitor the local hosts which are associated with a base station - however,
note that only hosts which have recently made active connections to the "outside
world" will show up.<br>

becuase the communication protocol, and seemingly the firmware, have been
completely changed in the new units. The new configurator version is specific
to the new units; it will not work with the original base stations. Note
that this version supports both 40- and 128-bit encryption, since support

<h3> <a name="Configurator"></a> Configurator:</h3>
Here's a Java-based configurator for the Apple AirPort Base
Station and Lucent RG-1000 wireless access points. It should run on
any platform with a Java 1.2-compliant runtime environment installed,
permitting the configuration of a base station from any host. The download
for Unix/Windows consists of a zip file containing the software and
HTML help file. The runnable is supplied as a "jar" file; run this in
the usual way (double-clickable in Windows if using <a href="http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/jre/index.html"> Sun's JRE
1.2 or higher runtime environment</a> ; from command line in Unix).
The download for the Macintosh expands into a folder containing a double-clickable
application plus the help file; a download containing two necessary Java
libraries from Sun is also available (see notes below). <br>
<br>
<h4>"Graphite" and RG-1000 Version<br>

Tips on usage</a> </li>
<br>
<ul>
<li> <u>A common problem:</u> shrunken text entry fields</li>
<br>
It is possible that when you start the configurator, or retrieve
settings, all of the textboxes into which you can enter information
will appear very narrow, unable to hold even 1 character. This is a
Swing anomaly: if the outer window size isn't large enough to hold all
of the contained components, all of the textboxes shrink to 1 pixel wide!
The solution is simple: just enlarge the window size (drag the bottom-right
corner); when the size is big enough, the textfields will all suddenly
pop out to their normal size. Note that this shrinkage happens whether
the window is too narrow (not wide enough), or too short (not tall enough),
so you might have to enlarge either of these dimensions.
</ul>
</ul>
<u>Macintosh classic notes:</u> The configurator was
built with components from Sun's Swing user-interface package; unfortunately,
the Swing libraries aren't included with Apple's MRJ (Macintosh Runtime
for Java) download. The needed files are called "swingall.jar" and "mac.jar",
and should be in the MRJClasses folder in the MRJ Libraries folder in
the Extensions folder inside the System folder; if these aren't present
on your machine, you'll have to download them (above), and install as
follows:
<ul>
<li> <u>Make sure MRJ is installed:</u> you can download the
latest version from Apple if you need it, at URL <a href="http://www.apple.com/java"> http://www.apple.com/java</a>
(use the "Download MRJ 2.2 Installer" link). If there isn't an "MRJ Libraries"
folder in your Extensions folder, you need to download this.</li>
<li> <u>Download the Swing files above:</u> the library files
needed are contained in an archive file (which your browser should automatically
decompress).</li>
<li> <u>Put library files into correct location:</u> Drag
the files "swingall.jar" and "mac.jar" from the "Swing libraries" folder
to the MRJClasses folder in the MRJ Libraries folder in the Extensions
folder inside the System folder - i.e., put these two into System folder/Extensions/MRJ
Libraries/MRJClasses.</li>
<li> Once this is done, you should be able to run the Mac
version of the configurator by double-clicking it. (As a side benefit,
you'll now be able to run any other applet or application that uses the
Swing user interface libraries!)</li>
</ul>

<a name="Firmware"></a> <b>Where's Apple hidden the firmware
in their 1.3 software update?</b>
<p>Apple's firmware has previously been supplied as a standalone file as
part of a software download bundled into a Mac-specific archive file (with
suffix ".smi", so it's often called a .smi file) However, with the 1.3
software release, the firmware is no longer included as a separate file
- it's embedded within the base station admin utility (it's the Bin1
resource, if you're a ResEdit fan). That leaves non-Mac-users out in
the cold! However, it's possible to get the firmware image out using ResEdit,
and copies are floating around. Check out: <br>

<h3> <a name="Monitor"></a> Wireless Link Test Utility:</h3>
This is a small Java-based utility that permits the measurement
of signal strength and noise on wireless links between an Airport
Base Station and the wireless hosts associated to it, permitting the
selection of the specific wireless host whose link is to be tested
and displaying bar graphs of signal strength and noise. This utility

information on the undocumented 1.3.6.1.4.1.762.2.5.* MIB variables
(posted here).</a>
<p>Note that version 1.1 provides an important bug fix; in version 1.0, the
link tested could be other than the one corresponding to the listed wireless
host. This has been corrected in version 1.1.</p>

<h3><a name="Wireless_Host_Monitor"></a> <a name="Host_Monitor"></a> Wireless Host Monitor</h3>
This utility monitors the wireless hosts that are currently connected
through an Apple Airport or Lucent RG-1000 wireless access point. The
MAC and IP addresses of attached hosts are retrieved and listed, with
the list being updated every 5 seconds. The utility provides an
editable list of MAC addresses and user-assigned host names for
recording hosts which are known. When the list of associated hosts is
retrieved from the base station, it is matched against the list of
known hosts, and the associated host names are displayed. If a host is
not found in the list, the phrase "*****Unknown host*****" is listed in
the name field to indicate the presence of an unrecognized host. (An
"Add" button is provided for each such unknown host to simplify adding
it to the list of known hosts.)<br>

<br>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Notes:</span><br>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Extensibility</span> <br>The
software has been designed to allow easy extensibility for monitoring
other types of access points.There's a single class that needs to be
implemented for each base station type that queries the base station
and returns the retrieved information to the main program for display.
Since there's no standard SNMP MIB that provides information on the
wireless hosts associated with a base station, each manufacturer
generally provides a proprietary set of OIDs to supply this
information, though some, including the "Snow" AirPort base station,
provide no direct mechanism for reporting the associated hosts (see
below). In fact, each of the three AirPort models has sufficiently
different firmware that the mechanisms used to monitor the associated wireless hosts are entirely different.
AirPorts are similar on the outside only. The "Graphite Airport used an
embedded 486 microcontroller from AMD and firmware developed by
Karlnet, Inc.; the "Snow" AirPort used an embedded PowerPC
microprocessor from Motorola and VxWorks-based firmware; and the Extreme models use
an embedded MIPS-based microprocessor from AMD - I'm not sure what the
firmware is based on. So we have three entirely different processor
families and possibly three entirely different operating systems! See <a href="http://www.vonwentzel.net/ABS/Evolution.html">Constantin von Wentzel's website</a> for a side-by-side comparison of the three models. The
AirPorts are essentially identical strangers.)<br>
<br>
In any case, I'd be interested in extending the monitoring capability to
additonal access point types, beyond Apple and Lucent models. To do this,
I need information about how the access point manufacturer provides the
needed information (if at all). If you have a favorite access point type,
and would like to see the Host Monitor extended to cover this, send me
an email and I can tell you how to retrieve the information I need
(basically, either the device MIB, if provided by the manufacturer, or
an SNMP treewalk of the device while some wireless hosts are attached
to it; I can send detailed instructions on how to perform the latter).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">"Graphite" AirPort:</span> <br>
<ul>
<li>
The list compiled
by the access point seems to be somewhat variable, with hosts sometimes
disappearing for one cycle and showing up again in the next.</li>
<li>The WAN address of the base station is not displayed
correctly for some versions of the base station firmware, due to an
incorrect reporting of the interface indices associated with the WAN
(Ethernet) and LAN (wireless) interfaces (they're both reported as
interface 1 in the IP address table).</li><li>The length of time that each host has been associated is not provided by the base station, and thus not displayed.<br>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">"Snow" AirPort:</span> <br>
</li>
<ul>
<li>The "snow" AirPort models unfortunately provide no direct mechanism to
determine the hosts which are currently associated with the base
station. The monitoring consequently uses the list of port maps in the
base station as the list of associated hosts. As a result, the utility
will show associated hosts only when the base station is used in NAT
mode, and hosts will only show up when they have recently made active
connections to the "outside world", since only these will have
opened ports through the base station.</li>

<h3>AirPort Port Inspector</h3>
This utility provides monitoring of the port maps used by hosts associated
with an AirPort base station when NAT is used. It provides both a detailed
and simplified view of open ports; the detailed view shows information
on the remote hosts being accessed by local hosts, while the simplified
view just shows the number of ports used by each local host. A consequence
of this is that the utility can be used to monitor the local hosts which
are associated with a base station - however, note that only hosts which
have recently made active connections to the "outside world" will show up.<br>

<ul>
<li>works with the new ("snow") base station; see the Host Monitor

<h3>AirPort IP Inspector</h3>
This utility monitors the external (WAN) IP address of a "snow" AirPort
base station, and sends an email notification to a configurable email address
whenever the external IP address changes. Why would anyone ever want to
do this? Well, this is intended for folks who want to access hosts behind
a base station through a preconfigured port map. For example, suppose you
have a web server on your home computer, and it connects to the "outside
world" through an AirPort base station. If the web server's (local) IP address
is 10.0.1.2, you can access the web server from outside of your home network
by configuring the AirPort with a port map that maps connections on port
80 of its external interface to port 80 on the internal host 10.0.1.1. Thus
pointing your web browser to the AirPort's external IP address will access
the web server - the connection is "passed through" due to the port map.
Of course, this requires that you know the external IP address of the base
station, and if your service provider uses DHCP, this can change. That's
where this utility comes in - run on the web server, it monitors the base
station's external IP address, and emails you when it changes so you'll know
where to find your base station if its address changes.<br>
<br>
This is a first whack at a more general notification utility; being emailed
every time your base station's IP address changes is probably not the most
convenient notification method, but it should at least be effective - you'll
know where your base station is. In addition, the messages could relatively
easily be processed by a process on the receiving end to take some action
if desired (the message format is very simple). On the other hand, it's
a little like the sorcerer's apprentice, in that it'll happily fill up your
mailbox with notifications if your base station's address changes frequently
(the utility queries the base station every 5 seconds). The code has been
structured so that alternative notification actions can easily be provided
- for example, a URL for a cgi-bin program could be accessed and provided
with the new address, and this could display the new web address in a web
page - or, better yet, redirect you to the new base station address. The
code simply dispatches to any registered object that implements a simple
AirportInfoChangeListener interface (a simple example of how to use it is
contained in the AirportInfoChangeEmailer class). If there's interest, and
I get time, I'll code up a few additional ones (or if anyone would like to
contribute one, I'd be happy to incorporate it...)<br>

<u>Downloads:</u><br>

<u><br>
Use:</u>
<ol>
<li> Start the application:</li>
<ul>
<li> In Windows, just double-click the IPInspector.jar file
icon</li>
<li> In Linux/Unix/Mac OSX, at the command line, enter:
java -jar IPInspector.jar</li>
</ul>
<li>In the dialog box which appears at startup, enter the
base station's local address (usually 10.0.1.1) and password, the email address
to which change notifications should be sent, and the name of your Internet
service provider's SMTP mail host - the latter is generally something like
"mail.earthlink.com" or the like; you can probably find it in the settings
for your email package (Eudora or whatever), or get it from your ISP</li>
<li>The utility will immediately start monitoring the base station,
checking its external IP address every 5 seconds. You'll get an initial
email message when the utility starts, and then another one whenever the
IP address changes. Again, be aware that you'll get lots of messages if
it changes frequently (up to one every 5 seconds, but this would be really
unusual).</li>

<h4> <a name="Bugs"></a> Bug Report and Status List:</h4>
<ul>
<li> Port mapping</li>
<ul>
<li> Port mapping would not work with base stations using
manual Ethernet configuration</li>
<li> Status: Fixed May 23 2001; public base station IP address
was not being set for port maps during configuration, rendering port
mapping inoperable; problem not present when DHCP or modem configuration
used, since public IP address was supplied by base station at run time.</li>
</ul>
<li> Manual</li>
<ul>
<li> Manual instructions for reset procedure not compatible
with Airport 1.1 and higher</li>
<li> Status: Rewritten July 8, 2000, with inclusion of section
on firmware upload to accompany configurator version 1.2</li>
</ul>
<li> Modem country code combo box</li>
<ul>
<li> Problem: Combo box didn't display correct country when
retrieving settings from base station; always read "North America"
(even when base station successfully updated with different country code).</li>
<li> Status: Fixed May 21, 2000</li>
</ul>
<li> Modem init string functionality</li>
<ul>
<li> Problem: Alterations in modem init string read incorrectly;
could cause dialing problems if init string length != 7.</li>
<li> Status: Fixed May 18, 2000</li>
</ul>
<li> Modem configuration</li>
<ul>
<li> Problem: Setting of (disabled) Ethernet configuration
panel could affect modem configuration settings; only occured if DHCP
setting selected in Ethernet panel.</li>
<li> Status: Fixed May 16, 2000</li>

much...)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p><br>
May 21, 2000 </p>
