Configuring the Cisco Aironet 350

Disabling WEP
Currently, all iPass Wireless Broadband Access Points require that WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) be disabled.

To disable WEP for the Cisco Aironet 340:

1. Make sure the Aironet 350 card is inserted in your laptop and is active.
2. Open the Cisco Aironet Client Utility Version 5. (On most systems, it can be found at C:\Program Files\Cisco Aironet\Aironet Client Utility\windgs.exe.)
3. Click "Profile Manager"
4. Under "Select Active Profile", select your current profile and click "Edit"
5. On the Network Security tab, under WEP, select "No WEP"
6. Click "OK"

Changing SSID
A few iPass Wireless Access Points require that a specific SSID (Service Set Identifier) be identified in the 802.11b card software. If an SSID is required, the iPassConnect client will inform you of the new SSID.

Alternate Settings
If your Aironet 350 card already has WEP and SSID settings that are currently used regularly, there is an alternate method for setting up the card to properly function with iPassConnect, without sacrificing your current settings. You can enter the configuration parameters on the Home Networking tab.

To configure the Aironet 350 card using with alternate settings:

1. Open the Cisco Aironet Client Utility
2. On the "System Parameters" tab, select "Enable Auto Configuration Switching"
3. To disable WEP, on the "Home Networking" tab, make sure the "Enable Encryption (WEP)" box is unchecked
4. To change SSID, on the "Home Networking" tab, in the SSID text box, enter the appropriate SSID
5. Click "OK"
