Client Utilities
Two client utilities are available for use with Cisco Aironet client adapters: Aironet Client Utility (ACU)
and Aironet Client Monitor (ACM). These utilities are optional applications that interact with the radio
firmware to adjust client adapter settings and display information about the adapter.
ACU enables you to create configuration profiles for your client adapter and perform user-level
diagnostics. Because ACU performs a variety of functions, it is documented by function throughout this
manual. However, an overview of the utility is provided below to familiarize you with its interface.
ACM, which is accessible from an icon in the Windows system tray, provides a small subset of the
features available through ACU. Specifically, it enables you to access status information about your
client adapter and perform basic tasks.

If your computer is running Windows XP, you can configure your client adapter through the Windows
