Allegro CX Owner’s Manual 281
Setting up an Aironet Access Point
An access point is similar to a base station. It is used as a link from
the wireless LAN to the wired network and the Internet. To connect
your Allegro to the network via wireless LAN, an access point needs
to be installed and confi gured.
For best connectivity and range between your Allegro and the access
point, we recommend Cisco access points. However, you can use
other established access points compatible with 802.11b. If you are
currently using, or have purchased a compatible access point, follow
the setup directions that were shipped with your access point.
Setting Up 802.11b Profi les on your Allegro
The Aironet Client Utility is factory installed on your Allegro.
This program is called the Aironet Client Utility and allows you
to confi gure the profi les of the internal 802.11b card. A profi le
accommodates various access points and allows your Allegro access
to different LAN systems.
The Aironet Client Utility allows you to set up and save profi les for
connecting to specifi c wireless LAN networks. Because different
wireless LANs have specifi c or different security settings, your
Allegro needs to be confi gured to connect to each wireless LAN.
These confi gurations are saved on your Allegro as profi les. The
appropriate, specifi c profi le is used when connecting your Allegro to
specifi c wireless LANs.
To open the client utility, tap on the Aironet Client Utility icon on your
Allegro’s desktop.
