Note The configuration profiles for PC-Cardbus cards are tied to the slot in which the card is inserted. Therefore, you must always insert your PC-Cardbus card into the same slot or create profiles for both slots.
See Chapter 4 for information on creating profiles for your client adapter. Note If you do not click Cancel , the wizard will attempt to install software for the client adapter but will be unable to find it. You must perform the following procedures in the order listed below to insert a PCI card:. The PCI card is shipped with a full-profile bracket attached.
If the PC into which you are inserting the PCI card requires the card to use a low-profile bracket, follow these steps to change brackets. Step 1 Remove the two screws that attach the bracket to the card. See Figure Step 2 Slide the bracket away from the card; then tilt the bracket to free the antenna cable.
Step 3 Hold the low-profile bracket to the card so that the LEDs slip through their corresponding holes on the bracket. Step 4 Insert the screws that you removed in Step 1into the holes on the populated side of the card near the bracket see Figure and tighten.
Step 1 Turn off the PC and all its components. Step 2 Remove the computer cover. Refer to your PC documentation for slot identification. This screw holds the metal bracket on the back panel. Step 4 Locate an empty PCI expansion slot inside your computer. Step 5 Slip your card's antenna through the opening near the empty expansion slot so that it is located outside of the computer.
See the enlarged view in Figure Step 7 Press the card into the empty slot until its connector is firmly seated. Step 8 Reinstall the screw on the CPU back panel and replace the computer cover. Step 1 Slide the antenna through the opening in the bottom of the antenna base. Step 2 Position the antenna so its notches are facing the Cisco label on the front of the base. Step 3 Press the antenna cable into the receptacle on the top of the base as shown in Figure Step 4 Press the antenna straight down into the receptacle until it clicks into place.
Because the PCI card is a radio device, it is susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range. These products can cause signal interference because they operate in the same frequency range as the PCI card. Follow the steps below to position the PCI card's antenna on a flat horizontal surface or to mount it to a wall.
Step 1 Perform one of the following:. Then go to Step 7. Step 2 Drill two holes in the wall that are 1. Figure shows the distance between the mounting holes on the bottom of the antenna base. Step 3 Tap the two supplied wall anchors into the holes. Step 4 Drive the two supplied screws into the wall anchors, leaving a small gap between the screw head and the anchor.
Step 5 Position the mounting holes on the bottom of the antenna base over the screws see Figure and pull down to lock in place. Step 6 The antenna rotates 90 degrees from its base.
For optimal reception, position the antenna so it is pointing straight up see Figure Step 7 Boot up your PC. The software is provided on the CD that shipped with your client adapter; however, Cisco recommends retrieving it from Cisco. Step 1 Make sure that you have a Cisco. Step 2 If you do not have a Cisco. Follow the instructions to create a username and password.
Step 3 Use your computer's web browser to access the following URL:. Step 5 Click Wireless Software. Step 8 Follow one of these steps:. Step 11 When prompted, enter your Cisco. Step 12 Click Windows Vista. If it does, proceed to the next step. If it does not, use the Install Wizard file on your CD. Step 14 Click the link with the latest release number. Step 15 Click the software file WinClient Step 16 Click the Download button.
Step 17 Read and accept the terms and conditions of the Software License Agreement. Click Agree to accept the terms and condition, or click Decline not to accept.
Save the file to your device. Follow these steps to use to install the client software on a device that is running Windows Vista. Step 1 Double-click WinClient A window appears that asks you if you want to run the softward file.
Step 2 Click Run. Step 3 Allow the preparation sequence to finish. After the preparation sequence finishes, the next Cisco Aironet Installation Program window appears see Figure Step 4 Click Next. A Cisco Aironet Installation Program dialog box that includes a message about driver and hardware installation appears see Figure Step 5 Click OK.
Step 6 Allow the software installation to finish. A Windows Security dialog box might appear see Figure Step 7 If this dialog box appears, double-click Install this driver software anyway. Step 8 Click Finish.

Updated: October 19, Chapter: Chapter 1 - Product Overview and Installation. Hardware Components The client adapters have three major hardware components: a radio, a radio antenna, and two LEDs. LEDs The client adapters have two LEDs that glow or blink to indicate the status of the adapter or to convey system messages.
Blinking slowly Off Client adapter is in power save mode. On Off Client adapter has awakened from power save mode. Alternating blink: Client adapter is scanning for the wireless network for which it is configured. On Off Off On Blinking slowly Blinking slowly Client adapter is associated to an access point in infrastructure mode or another client in ad hoc mode.
Blinking quickly Blinking quickly Client adapter is transmitting or receiving data while associated to an access point in infrastructure mode or another client in ad hoc mode. Network Configurations Using Client Adapters Client adapters can be used in a variety of network configurations. Figure Wireless Infrastructure with Workstations Accessing a Wired LAN Safety information Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure proper operation and safe use of the client adapter.
Warnings Observe the following warnings when operating the client adapter. Translated versions of these safety warnings are provided in Appendix B Unpacking the Client Adapter Follow these steps to unpack the client adapter: Step 1 Open the shipping container and carefully remove the contents. For Infrastructure Devices Because of differences in component configuration, placement, and physical environment, every network application is a unique installation.
For Client Devices Because the client adapter is a radio device, it is susceptible to RF obstructions and common sources of interference that can reduce throughput and range. Caution These procedures and the physical connections they describe apply generally to conventional Cardbus slots and PCI expansion slots.
Every time that you roam to a different wireless access point, you are prompted to provide a user credential. This problem occurs even if you have saved the user credential. When you try to authenticate against an Internet Authentication Service IAS server, the server may reject the authentication, and the IAS server may send an error message that the authentication has failed.
The Onex. The aforesaid wireless authentication and connectivity problems can be fixed with a supported hotfix from Microsoft. This KB hotfix can be obtained from Microsoft Web site. When you work in a wireless network environment on a Microsoft Windows Vista OS based computer, you may encounter several problems as follows: — a.
