WLAN SECURITY
The WLAN access to the LiveLink control device is protected with a
three-tiered security concept.
1. In the first step, a password for the WLAN must be entered
(WPA2 encryption).
2. In the second step, a connection is established via https. This is an
asymmetrical encryption. Data that is transmitted from the app to
the LiveLink system, and vice versa, can not be read in transit.
3. In the third step, a user authentication ensures that only those who
are in possession of the administration and/or user password can
connect to the system and as a result make changes.
In this, the user access is set up restrictively (via a separate app and
separate password) and can merely control existing configuration but
cannot create new or change existing configurations.
UTILISING THE WLAN WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE
Instead of a direct WLAN connection between the iOS and/or Android
device and the LiveLink control device, an existing infrastructure can
also be utilised subsequent to the initial setup.
For this, the control device can be connected to the existing building
WLAN. The configuration takes place in the administrator menu, see
chapter “Room administration”.
The iOS and/or Android app can then also be used in the building
WLAN. Available to the apps are all LiveLink rooms that are, in turn,
connected to the building WLAM.
