Chapter 3 Configuring the Access Point for the First Time
Protecting Your Wireless LAN
Protecting Your Wireless LAN
After you assign basic settings to your access point, you must configure security settings to prevent
unauthorized access to your network. Because it is a radio device, the access point can communicate
beyond the physical boundaries of your building. Configure some combination of these security features
to protect your network from intruders:
• Unique SSIDs that are not broadcast in the access point beacon (see Cisco IOS Software
Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points)
• WEP and additional WEP features, such as TKIP and broadcast key rotation (see Cisco IOS Software
Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points)
• 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. The
access point must have an IP address before IPSU can be used. This section explains how to install the
utility and how to use it to find the access point’s IP address.
Note IPSU can be used only on the following operating systems: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, or XP.
Note IPSU can not be used to set the access point IP address or SSID.
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.
Obtaining and Installing IPSU
IPSU is available on the Cisco web site. Follow these steps to obtain and install IPSU:
Step 1 Use your Internet browser to access the Cisco Software Center at the following URL:

Step 2 Click Option 2: Aironet Wireless Software Display Tables.
Step 3 Locate the access point firmware and utilities section and click Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series (Cisco
