Configure the Base Station
The base station uses an IP address setting of 192.168.200.1 for the internal network when
configured for cable or DSL modem, PPP-over-Ethernet, or telephone dial-up. It also uses this
IP address when in Access Point mode with no other IP address being received from the DHCP
server.
Setting the configuration parameters of the base station requires a wireless PC (with an
IEEE 802.11 DSSS radio card with 128-bit WEP). Before configuring the base station, choose
the operating mode and gather the network information (your network administrator or ISP
should be able to provide any missing information).
Base Station Client Utility
You can use the BSCU to configure the base station and the associated Cisco Aironet client
IEEE 802.11 DSSS radio card in the wireless PC. You can use this utility to check the
connection status, provide information on the operation of the base station during the
connection process, determine the current version of firmware on the radio card, and load the
latest firmware into the client card.
Installing BSCU
The BSCU utility supports Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft
Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, or Microsoft Windows ME operating systems. It is
installed from the Cisco Aironet 340 Series Base Station CD shipped with the device.
Note To run the BSCU in a Windows 95 or Windows 95A environment, installation of
Internet Explorer 4.0 or greater is required for the necessary networking files.
Follow these steps to install the BSCU:
1
If the BSCU utility was previously installed, right-click the telephone icon in the system tray
and select Exit.
2
Place the CD in the CD-ROM drive of the computer you are using to configure the base
station.
3
Use Windows Explorer to display the contents of the CD.
