Release Notes for Cisco Aironet 350 and CB20A Client Adapter Install Wizard 1.5 for Windows

OL-6553-01

Installing or Upgrading Client Adapter Software

PEAP Installs the PEAP supplicant included in the Install Wizard file.

Installing the PEAP supplicant enables the client to support PEAP

authentication. If this option is not selected now and you later want to

use PEAP, you must run this installation program again and choose

this option.

Default: Unchecked

Note To enable Cisco PEAP authentication, your computer must

run Windows 2000 with the Microsoft 802.1X supplicant

installed or Windows XP.

Note Service Pack 1 for Windows XP and the Microsoft 802.1X

supplicant for Windows 2000 include Microsoft’s PEAP

supplicant, which supports a Windows username and

password only and does not interoperate with Cisco’s PEAP

supplicant. To use Cisco’s PEAP supplicant, install the Install

Wizard file after Windows XP Service Pack 1 or the Microsoft

802.1X supplicant for Windows 2000. Otherwise, Cisco’s

PEAP supplicant is overwritten by Microsoft’s PEAP

supplicant.

EAP-FAST Installs the EAP-FAST supplicant included in the Install Wizard file.

Installing the EAP-FAST supplicant enables you to create a profile in

ACU that uses EAP-FAST authentication. If this option is not

selected now and you later want to create a profile that uses

EAP-FAST, you must run this installation program again and choose

this option.

Default: Checked

Note The EAP-FAST supplicant is installed and can be enabled

only on computers running Windows 2000 or XP.

Note If you choose EAP-FAST on a Windows XP device, Windows

XP’s fast user switching feature is disabled.

Allow Saved

EAP-FAST User

Name and Password

Enables you to create a profile in ACU that uses a saved (rather than

temporary) username and password for EAP-FAST authentication.

When such a profile is used, the saved username and password are

used to start the EAP-FAST authentication process, and you are not

prompted to enter them.

Options: Yes or No

Default: Yes

Note This parameter is applicable only to client adapters that are

installed in computers running Windows 2000 or XP.
