HP YELLOWJACKET PLUS Introduction, Starting UP YellowjacketPLUS, YellowjacketPLUS Accessories

INTRODUCTION

YellowjacketPLUS™ is an 802.11b analysis system consisting of an HP iPAQ PocketPC® coupled with custom hardware and software by BVS. This system contains a variety of features to analyze 802.11b networks including spectrum analysis over all 14 channels (2.401 – 2.495 GHz), a list of AP’s and/or stations over all 14 channels, multi-path and packet-error rate informa- tion for each individual MAC address. The YellowjacketPLUS also contains a “Geiger-counter” feature to locate a single AP/ STAtion via audio/visual aids and a security feature to warn the user of possible unauthorized AP/ STAtions in the area based on a list of authorized MAC addresses. The data from a YellowjacketPLUS may be logged into resident memory for transfer to a desktop PC at a later time and then be converted from binary to ASCII using “Chameleon WLAN”.

STARTING UP YellowjacketPLUS

Power up your YellowjacketPLUS by pushing power but- ton in upper right corner of unit. This power will automati- cally power up the YellowjacketPLUS receiver also. When you power down the iPAQ, (push the power button on the upper right quickly-holding this button will also toggle the backlight on and off) your Yellowjacket PLUS receiver will also shut down. Connect the included antenna to the SMA connector and remove the stylus by pushing down on it. Use your sty- lus to tap onto the Windows® icon in the upper left corner. Choose YellowjacketPLUS in the pulldown menu. Data may be transferred to a PC via the IrDA window or USB or serial con- nection. Install Yellowjacketplus software by connecting your iPAQ to your PC and inserting included BVS software CD-ROM (red disc) into PC to begin installation.

YellowjacketPLUS ACCESSORIES

Your iPAQ can be reset using 2 different methods. If Yellowjacket software loses communications with Yellowjacket hardware, perform a soft reset with your stylus by pressing the reset button behind the battery door at the bottom of the unit. Perform a hard reset by holding in the two outer buttons for at least 10 seconds while performing a soft reset. Warning! Hard reset erases all RAM data from iPAQ so be sure to backup all data and re-install your Yellowjacket application software after a hard reset.

YellowjacketPLUS includes a 2.4 GHz antenna, 2 battery packs (10 Ni-MH cells), AC/DC charger & USB/IrDA communicator sled and carrying case.
