Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring the Client Adapter

Configuring Your Client Adapter

Step 6 Enter the IP address and the subnet mask provided by your network administrator in the appropriate

spaces.

Step 7 Next to Net device, use the drop-down menu, or enter the device name of the client adapter.

Note Your client adapter’s name and number are eth0 if it is the only Ethernet adapter card installed.

If you are unsure about the device name and number, you can verify this information by running

the ACU and using the Commands menu to select Status. The Device field of the Status screen

shows the name and number of the adapter being used.

Step 8 Under the Config tab, select Routing and gateway > Set defaults.

Step 9 Enter the IP address of the default gateway you obtained from your network administrator.

Step 10 Click Accept, and then click Act/Changes and Quit.

Using Multiple Client Adapters

With Linux, you can select among multiple adapters, which allows you to share the driver and the ACU

with multiple client adapters. To accommodate this feature, you need to configure your machine’s startup

files manually or use the linuxconf command (supplied with Red Hat and other distributions) to assign

IP addresses to multiple adapters.

Caution Do not attempt to configure your machine by installing the client utilities and driver for the additional

client adapters. You must configure it as described above.

After modifying your computer’s startup files to accommodate the additional adapters, you can switch

among them by using the Select Radio parameter in ACU.

Configuring Your Client Adapter

You can perform a variety of functions using the ACU. First, it enables you to upgrade your client

adapter’s firmware. Second, it enables you to configure your client adapter for use in a wireless

enterprise or home network. You can set parameters that prepare the adapter for network use, govern how

the adapter transmits or receives data, control the adapter’s operation within an infrastructure or ad hoc

(or peer-to-peer) network, and control the level of security provided to your network. Finally, you can

use the ACU to perform user-level diagnostics on your client adapter. You can view the current status of

the adapter as well as statistics showing how data is being transmitted and received.

Opening the Client Utilities

To open ACU, type /opt/cisco/bin/acu & from an X windows terminal on your computer. The Aironet

Client Utility screen appears (Figure 3-11)
