Using the Client Utility on Mac OS 9.x

This section explains how to use pcm3x0PPC, the Mac OS 9.x client utility, to load new firmware, and
to configure your client adapter for use in a wireless enterprise or home network. You can set parameters
that prepare the adapter for network use, govern how the adapter transmits or receives data, and controls
the adapter's operation within an infrastructure or ad hoc network.

Getting Started

To open the pcm3x0PPC client utility, follow the steps below.
Step 1 Double-click the Macintosh hard disk icon on the desktop.
Step 2 Double-click the Cisco pcm3x0 folder icon.
Note
Step 3 Double-click the pcm3x0PPC icon. The computer searches for the client adapter. After the adapter is
found, the Basic Properties screen appears (see Figure 5-1).
Figure 5-1
The Basic Properties screen provides useful information about your client adapter, enables you to set a
few key configuration parameters initially, and serves as a quick configuration menu for later use. This
screen reflects the information and parameters for either an office network or a home network, depending
on which one is set in the System Parameters screen (see Figure 5-6 on page 5-7). Office network is the
default value.
