New and Changed Information

ASTU Exit Option

The Exit option on the Aironet System Tray Utility (ASTU) pop-up menu closes both ASTU and ADU.

Windows Wireless Network Connection Icon Shows Unavailable Connection (Windows XP Only)

If your computer is running Windows XP and you configured your client adapter using ADU, the Windows Wireless Network Connection icon in the Windows system tray may be marked with a red X and show an unavailable connection even though a wireless connection exists. This condition is caused by a conflict between ADU and Windows XP’s wireless network settings. Simply ignore the Windows icon and use the ASTU icon to check the status of your client adapter’s wireless connection.

Supporting Documentation

The Cisco Aironet 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Client Adapters (CB21AG and PI21AG) Installation and Configuration Guide (OL-4211-04) pertains specifically to CB21AG and PI21AG client adapters. If you are using a Cisco Aironet 340, 350, or CB20A client adapter, refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide for that client adapter and your computer’s operating system.

New and Changed Information

Locked Profiles

A Locked Profile check box has been added to the Profile Management (Security) window in ADU. The check box is checked if your system administrator used an administrative tool to lock this profile. Locked profiles cannot be modified (with the exception of password fields), written over, or removed.

Secure Session Resume

An Always Resume the Secure Session check box has been added to the LEAP Settings, EAP-FAST Settings, and Define PEAP (EAP-GTC) Configuration windows.

•Checking this check box causes the LEAP, EAP-FAST, or PEAP (EAP-GTC) supplicant to always attempt to resume the previous session without prompting the user to re-enter his or her credentials whenever the client adapter becomes disassociated. The session resumes after the client temporarily loses connection to the access point, such as by roaming in and out of range [LEAP, EAP-FAST, and PEAP (EAP-GTC)], or wakes up from suspend or hibernate mode (LEAP and EAP-FAST). This is the default setting.

•Unchecking this check box causes the user to be prompted to re-enter his or her LEAP, EAP-FAST, or PEAP (EAP-GTC) username and password whenever the client adapter temporarily loses association by roaming out of range [LEAP, EAP-FAST, and PEAP (EAP-GTC)] or wakes up from suspend or hibernate mode (LEAP and EAP-FAST).
