This section provides installation instructions for the client utilities for Windows 95, 98, NT,

2000, and Me. If your computer is using a Windows CE, Linux, or Macintosh operating

system, refer to the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Adapters Hardware Installation Guide for

information.

After you have installed the appropriate driver for your computer’s operating system, you can

install the Aironet Client Utility (ACU), Link Status Meter (LSM), and Client Encryption

Manager (CEM) utilities. ACU enables you to configure the client adapter, enable server-based

authentication, and enable the Wired Encryption Privacy (WEP) feature; LSM provides

troubleshooting and status information; and CEM enables you to set one or more WEP keys

for your client adapter.

Install the Client Utilities

1

Close any open Windows programs.

2

Insert the Cisco Aironet Series

Wireless LAN Adapters CD into your

computer’s CD-ROM drive.

3

Select Start > Run and enter the

following path (where D is the letter of

your CD-ROM drive): D:\Utilities\

ACU\setup.exe.

4

At the Welcome screen, click Next.

5

In the Authentication Method screen,

select the server-based authentication

method preferred for wireless network

access in your location and click Next:

If you select None, server-based

authentication is not enabled for

your client adapter. After the client

utilities are installed, you can elect

not to implement any security

features, or you can activate some

level of security by using WEP keys.

If you select LEAP, LEAP is enabled

on your client adapter, provided an

EAP-enabled RADIUS server is

running on your network. After

LEAP is enabled and your computer

is rebooted, your client adapter

authenticates to the RADIUS server

using your network logon and

receives a session-based WEP key.

If you select EAP, EAP is enabled on

your client adapter, provided an

EAP-enabled RADIUS server is

running on your network. If your

computer is not using an operating

system with built-in EAP support,

this option is not available. After

EAP is enabled and your computer

is rebooted, your client adapter

authenticates to the RADIUS server

using your network logon and

receives a session-based WEP key.
