when using an Aironet card with a non-Cisco access point. If you must use a non-Cisco access
point, be sure that your Aironet card firmware is at level 5.02.19 or above; this will overcome
some of the degradation. Also, bring your access point up to its latest firmware.
Aironet Client Utility (ACU)
This utility is used to configure the myriad of wireless parameters for the Cisco adapter, as well as to
display connection information. Detailed instructions can be obtained from the Cisco web site at
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/airo_350/350cards/index.htm
but we will cover the basics here. Open this utility from

. You will see a
window with five tabs.
Note:
If you are connected to an access point when you open ACU, you will be automatically
disconnected. After you close ACU, you can initiate a connection by momentarily entering and then
exiting the Suspend Mode.
Profiles
Most of the configuration is done under this tab. Multiple profiles can be defined, since it may be
necessary to have a different set of parameters for different networks or for different users. The default
is to start with one active profile,
Profile0
. Buttons are available to
Rename
or
Edit
this profile, or to
Add
more profiles. If there are multiple profiles, you can
Delete
some if you wish. The Select Active
Profile field allows you to select the current active profile. The
Options
button allows you to select %
or dbm as the measurement unit when signal strength is displayed. The
About
button shows the ACU
version.
Highlight a profile in the Manage Profiles sub-window and click on
Edit
to set the configuration
parameters for that profile.
Edit
The entire profile configuration is done here. When you click on
Edit
, you will see a Profile Properties
sub-window. Select a property in the Property box, and the existing value for that property will appear
in the Value box. If there are predefined value choices for a property, a drop-down list will appear for
your selection in the Value box. Otherwise, you can enter alphanumeric characters into that box, or
change existing characters.
A description of each property is given in the following table.
