Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
Using the IP Setup Utility
• Dynamic WEP and client authentication (see Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco
Aironet Access Points)
Using the IP Setup Utility
IPSU enables you to find the access point’s IP address when it has been assigned by a DHCP server. You
can also use IPSU to set the access point’s IP address and SSID if they have not been changed from the
default settings. This section explains how to install the utility, how to use it to find the access point’s IP
address, and how to use it to set the IP address and the SSID.
Note IPSU can be used only on the following operating systems: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, or XP.
Tip Another simple way to find the access point’s IP address is to look on the Status screen in the Aironet
Client Utility on a client device associated to the access point.
