Method of securing network access radio systems
First Claim
1. A method of providing security for a network access radio system comprising:
- communicating between an access radio and a first network using an interface link, the first network being remote from the access radio, the access radio being coupled to a second network, the second network being different from the first network, the access radio establishing the interface link, the access radio executing a first ping application, the first ping application providing for continuous ping communication using a verified unique code;
communicating between the access radio and a processing device associated with the second network using the first ping application; and
disabling establishment of the interface link by the access radio in response to termination of the continuous ping communication between the access radio and the processing device.

Abstract
A method of providing security for network access radio systems and associated access radio security systems used with the systems. The method includes connecting an access radio having a radio link to a network; communicating between the access radio and a computer over the network using a ping application having ping commands and unique encrypted codes; and enabling operation of the access radio when the access radio is receiving ping commands. Typically, the access radio and the computer are nodes on the network and the network is a local area network (LAN). The ping application sends packets of information from the computer to the access radio and receives a response from the access radio. The ping application must be functioning (i.e., sending and receiving commands between the computer and the access radio) to enable the access radio to communicate via the radio link with a remote network.

11. A method of providing security for a network access radio system comprising:
-
establishing network communications in a first network comprising a network access radio including an interface link, a processing device, and a ping application, the ping application continuously sending and receiving encrypted ping commands including a verified unique code; communicating between the access radio and a second network using the interface link, the second network being remote from the access radio, the second network being different from the first network; sending and receiving encrypted ping commands between the processing device and the access radio; and enabling operation of the interface link in response to the access radio receiving the encrypted ping commands. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
