Aironet 350 drivers, help

Hi, I need the windows XP, drivers or software suit for my aironet 350 mini pci card. I have tried this site's offerings many times with no avail, I'm just looking for the most basic functionality any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

The program used with the Aironet 350 Mini-PCI card called "ACU" Aironet Client Utility was not updated for Windows XP.
However, there is a native driver for the 350 card within XP that should work just fine. I'm currently using this native driver myself of a few notebooks using the PCM-350 (PC card version of the card you have).

  • Aironet 350~~ Help Factory Settings must be RESTORED

    Hello,
    I am the proud and happy new owner of the Cico Aironet 350 wireless access point. Now the issue (acquired by the company's buyout of another one), needless to say when I get it there is no username/passwords included. Just the cable/power supply and the wireless access point it self. Has anyone here ever worked with this unit before and if you have, do you know how to reset to the factory defaults?

    Hi Joshua,
    Here is the method to do a factory reset;
    Reset the AP 350 That Runs Cisco IOS Software
    Complete the steps in this section in order to reset an AP 350 that runs Cisco IOS Software.
    Note: Cisco IOS Software-based APs have a default configuration that includes a username and password combination. Both the username and password are "Cisco", which is case-sensitive. After you reset to factory defaults, be prepared to give "Cisco" as both the username and password when you are prompted by either the GUI or the CLI.
    The AP350 does not have a MODE button to reset the AP to factory defaults. So, if neither the GUI or CLI is available with sufficient privileges in the AP350, complete these steps to delete the current configuration and return all access point settings to the factory defaults using the CLI.
    Reboot the access point by removing power and reapplying power. Let the access point boot until the command prompt appears and the access point begins to inflate the image. When you see these lines on the CLI, press ESC: Loading "flash:/" ...########################################################################### ################################################################################ ################################################################################ ####################
    Once you press ESC, this information is displayed on the CLI screen..

  • Windows 98 and Aironet 350 PCI Card

    I have a complicated question and would really appreciate any input anyone has. I have a network with 12 PC's that are running Windows 98 with Novell Netware. They all have Aironet 350 PCI cards in them. We recently decided to change an older PC out and took out it's Aironet card to install in the new PC which is a Dimension 4400. I install the card and the utilities and drivers and I can get the PC associated to the AP. I then install the Novell client and I can't get authenticated onto the network. I can't even get the Novell login to pop up. I can't even get out onto the internet which I can usually do even if I am not on the network. Neither my network admin nor I were here when these were originally deployed so maybe we are missing a step. Any help would be much appreciated. I would be glad to provide any additional info!
    Thanks
    Jamie

    Thanks for the further info John. I would usually say sure and do it. I am only leary because a week ago this card was happily working in another machine. A interesting point to mention is that when I go into the access point all of my machines on the AP having their IP address in a field called IP Addr./Name and the machine I am having an issue with says unassigned. The last time we had this particular issue we had the network on 40 bit WEP encryption and then got a new card for a machine that could only run 128 bit so we changed the encryption and everything has been fine since. Once again thanks for all of your help!

  • Aironet 350 Wireless Bridge Problem

    I have inherited a wireless link between two building that used a pair of Aironet 350 wireless bridges.  I say used because one took a lightning strike and is fried.  I need to see the configuration on the remaining bridge to set up the new bridge but no one knows the user name or password to access the remaining functioning 350.  How do I reset this old buzzard?  I have tried all the instructions I have found on this site and others.  There is no reset button.  I found this out by disassembling another Aironet 350 we had which has also taken a strike.  I cannot set up the new 1300 without knowing the config of what it will be talking to.  I have been able to connect to the 350 with a serial cable and I can see some of the information.  But the only thing I get is the ip address for fe0.  I have attached the file I captured to this post.  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

    If you know the IP of the 350, put a laptop on the same subnet and use a crossover cable to web to its GUI.  VxWorks CLI sucks!
    If you can get hold of a pair of 1231 APs, they can be configured to run in bridge mode and use the same antennas as the 350s.  Benefits are IOS and G radios.

  • Aironet 350 with pismo antenna?

    Hi people. I recently bought a cisco aironet 350 pccard wireless adapter for my pbg3 500. It works, i use os x 10.3.5. The problem is it doesnt reach very far. Last week a friend of mine came with his macbook and he had full signal at places where I could not even connect.
    Doing some research I found that removing the fat sticker placed on the part of the card that remains outside the powerbook, there are 2 antennas and a jack for an external one. So I tought I could use the one built-in the display that is meant for airport cards. The problem is they can not be conected directly (the cable doesnt reach and the conectors are different anyway. To make thinks worse, the powerbook cable doesnt even have the conector, just the wire. I tried making a bridge between this cable and the cisco jack (using a 15 cm cable) but doesnt improve the signal, so I think im doing something wrong, or the pismo antenna is no better than whats built into the cisco card. Maybe someone here has some experience on using a non airport card with the airport antenna.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Pepo

    Thanks Brent. I have a spare ibook display that I can use for testing the antena. Problem is I dont want to burn the pccard amplifier. I dont know how the antena works, or if there is already an amplifier in the display, so if I connect the output of the card to the airport antena, I may burn the card. If I touch the antena lead it has power, as well as the pc card, so I dont think they can be connected toghether.
    Also another doubt I have is actually how the antenna works. If I check the jack with a tester, I can see that the shield and the conductor of the wire arent isolated from each other, so then how do you wire them to the card when they are bridged already?
    Sorry, hope I explain myself a bit at least, my english is not good enough I think for this kind of things.
    Thanks again.

  • Aironet 350 Bridge associations

    Hi,
    I have 2 aironet 350 bridges that keep disassociating and then reassociating constantly. Is there any way to stop this form happening?

    Parent is "Root Bridge", end station is "Non-root bridge w/out clients." Thanks for pointing me to the Express setup page--that's the one I had in mind, but I haven't been there since day one. Now I need to figure out why, with those settings, it's allowing client connections...
    The only MAC address filtering I see is (per documentation) "allow or disallow the forwarding of unicast or multicast packets either sent from or addressed to specific MAC addresses." When I look at the actual Address Filters page, it only allows me to specify "Dest Address." Not much help if I don't want to allow other connections *to* the bridge...
    When I'm not in Express Setup, and go to the Setup page, I have the option at the bottom of the page (Network Ports | Bridge Radio or Network Ports | Root Radio) to go to an Advanced page. While there, I see a field called "Radio Cell role." The Root Radio Advanced page shows the Radio Cell role as "Access Point / Root." The other options would be "Client/Non-root" and "Repeater/non-root." The Bridge Radio Advanced page shows the role as "client/non-root." I am *assuming* that the Root radio here, although called an "access point" is not an access point for clients (i.e., its role is that of the access point for the far end(s) of the bridge).
    I can't find anyplace to stop broadcasting the SSID...
    Thanks for the help!

  • Aironet 350 Failure...Twice

    A couple of months ago, I installed three Aironet 350 Bridges, each connected to directional antenna via LMR400 cable. The directionals are pointed towards an access point at the front of the campus. After abou 36-48 hours of use, the ethernet ports on the bridges locks up, and actually dies in two of the instances. I figured that it was a bad group of bridges, so we replaced them with three more, only to have two of the replacements do the exact same thing. When the port crashes, the red light comes on and stays on, even after you remove the rj45 connector. Afterwards, you are unable to access the bridge via a browser, so there is little means of troubleshooting available. I haven't had a lot of luck with the reseller, and this customer has been down since March!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Aside from on-site consulting (possibly on a contingency basis), I can only suggest that you pull it all into a lab, check all the configs, upgrade all the firmware and confirm that it's reliable before putting it back in.

  • Aironet 350 PCMCIA WiFi CARD

    I'm having a problem with a Cisco Aironet 350 WiFi PCMCIA Card (speed has to be auto) installed in a Sony Camera and intermittently not connecting to a ZyXEL ZyAIR G-110 WiFi PCMCIA Card (speed set to b only (which is 11 MBPS))which is installed in a Dell Laptop. On startup (laptop first then camera) it sometimes connects and sometimes doesn't. The ZyAir card is always fully initialized first then the Aironet is initialized.
    What I also noticed that was strange is that if you toggle (fn + F2) the Centrino WiFi NIC (built into the laptop) on and then off the Aironet suddenly establishes connectivity.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If you use a non cisco card you can NOT use any Cisco enhancements to the standards including LEAP or 128 WEP. 40 Bit WEP will work fine as long as your card supports it.

  • AIRONET 350 - Duplicating configuration to a replacement

    I have a problem with one of our AP it's a aironet 350, what is the easiest way to copy it's configuration to a replacement device of the same type.
    I have just took over from out wireless guy who is off long term sick and I'm in at the deepend.
    Regards
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    I have actually never tried this myself, but here is a good doc that discusses this process. Maybe somebody else will weigh in as well :)
    Working with Configuration Files
    This section describes how to create, load, and maintain configuration files. Configuration files contain commands entered to customize the function of the Cisco IOS software. To better benefit from these instructions, your access point contains a minimal default running configuration for interacting with the system software.
    You can copy (download) configuration files from a TFTP, FTP, or RCP server to the running configuration of the access point for various reasons:
    To restore a backed-up configuration file.
    To use the configuration file for another access point. For example, you might add another access point to your network and want it to have a configuration similar to the original access point. By copying the file to the new access point, you can change the relevant parts rather than recreating the whole file.
    To load the same configuration commands on all the access points in your network so that all the access points have similar configurations.
    You can copy (upload) configuration files from the access point to a file server by using TFTP, FTP, or RCP. You might perform this task to back up a current configuration file to a server before changing its contents so that you can later restore the original configuration file from the server.
    From this AP350 doc;

  • Aironet 350 AP not sending signals to laptops !

    Hi all,
    This is the 1st time I use this service...I hope someone / Cisco can help me.
    Background
    We have Airnonet 350 AP system + PCI adapter + PCMCIA. We live in a 2 story house. The Server (Win XP) is downstairs connected to the Livebox ( France Telecom )for internet conncetion. All PC downstairs connect to this livebox and work very well. But, upstairs the portable PC receive weak signals, so internet is slow or often none at all. We installed the Aironet 350 AP upstair in a central location to receive signals from the Server which is in turn equipped with a PCI adapter to send to the 350 AP on 1st floor. It works beautifuly and efficiently for 4 years already..
    NOW
    Last week I changed the Server PC to a newer one, also running on Win XP. I transfered the PCI adapter to it, and installed the software for adapter from Cisco website (Win-Client-802.11a-b-Ins-Wizard-v1701). The Associations between the Server / PCI adpter, Airnonet 350 AP, and 2 laptops on 1st floor are excellent. But, the Laptops on 1st floor just could not have access to internet ! I have tried many different manipulations.. but no success.
    Has anyone come across this pbs ? Do we need to do something to the 350 AP ? if yes, what is it ? Is there an upgarade of s/w for the AP 350 ? Etc ...
    I'd loved to hear from you to help me to solve my pbs, otherwise my 2 daughters just do not have internet connections !
    Thank you in advance.
    Joseph
    email : [email protected]

    Tks John for your suggestion.
    However, the 2 laptops were working well already while they were connected wirelessly to the old server, except the speed was not so fast.
    Seeing the new server giving us connection pbs for upstairs, I have gone backward, and put back the PCI adapter to my old server which sends signals to the Cisco AP upstairs. Now, both laptops upstairs are receiving internet and working correctly. To improve the speed up of this old server, I have removed all unnecessary programs etc ...so the speed is better. The girsl are happy.
    The only down side is that I have got this brand new server / PC which is not doing what it is bought for ..
    Frankly, I am still at a loss why the new server does not work with the Cisco AP !
    Do you still have some other ideas ..?
    Thank you in advance.

  • [solved] Cisco Aironet 350 package

    Hi guys,
    Is there a package for the Cisco Aironet 350 anywhere? I have to set up a thinkpad x31 that has one, but I can't find any package for the driver, neither in the normal repo, nor in the AUR. Maybe it's too early in the morning ;-)

    omg I shouldn't wake up, go to the PC, turn it on, read some stuff and don't check the wireless drivers that ship with the kernel.
    It's already there...

  • Aironet 350 Installation without ActiveSync

    I have a custom WinCE 4.1 platform that does not have the ActiveSync service manager built into the kernel. Is there an alternative way to install the Aironet 350 software (WinCE-PCMCIA-LMC-272.exe) on this device? It has CF card access and NE2001 support (w/eVC++ 4.0 development environment). Thanks.

    workaround that could help you achieve what you are looking for is to unzip the CiscoWinCE300v200.exe file to your local hard drive. There will be a number of .cab files unzipped. Copy the CiscoPpc3mips.cab file to the BE-300 using the manufacturers recommended procedure. Once the file is on the CE device, click on it to execute it. The driver and utilities will install correctly.

  • Aironet 350 Access Point needs security

    I have been asked to help a fledgling school lock down their wireless network.  The network is currently setup as 3 Aironet 350 Access Points with operating on the same subnet distributed around the school.
    These have NOT been updated or touched since the day they were installed, by all acounts.  I think they are running VXworks.  My issue is that most support links that might prove helpful seem to be broken.
    A few simple questions:
    Can the Aironet 350 be secured and then used with a simple shared key?  This link seems to say no, that you must have Cisco software on the user computer as well.  that certainly can't be right, can it?
    I'm clearly out of my comfort zone with these, but they just don't have anyone to do this for them.  It looks like they need to be flashed to IOS and then able to use WPA but not WPA2?  I'm having trouble finding a firmware lik for the 350 as well because it's EOL.
    Basically, any help or information is welcome!  I'm ready to just pull the plug on them and call them secure!

    350 APs (not bridges) can be converted to IOS.  Then they can do WPA-PSK TKIP.  Downside is they only have 802.11b radios.  The latest IOS they can run is old but could probably be setup with WDS using an internal RADIUS server on one.
    The upgrade tool and image are still available for download.  I'm attaching a .pdf of instructions.
    You need these files:
    Aironet-AP-Cisco-IOS-Conversion-Tool-v2.1.exe
    AP350-Cisco-IOS-Upgrade-Image-v2.img
