| Install the PCI or ISA Client Adapter |
1. Turn off the PC and all its components.
2. Remove the computer cover.
3. Remove the screw from the top of the CPU back panel above an empty expansion slot. This screw holds the metal bracket on the back panel.
 | Caution Static electricity can damage your client adapter. Before removing the adapter from the anti-static packaging, discharge static by touching a metal part of a grounded PC. |
4. Tilt the adapter to allow the antenna connector and LEDs to slip through the opening in the CPU back panel.
5. Press the client adapter into the empty slot until the connector is firmly seated.
| Caution Do not force the adapter into the slot as this could damage both the adapter and the expansion slot. If the adapter does not insert easily, remove and re-insert it. |
6. Reinstall the screw on the CPU back panel and replace the computer cover.
7. Attach the 2 dBi antenna finger-tight, positioned straight up for best reception. Do not overtighten.

| Set the DIP Switches (ISA Adapters Only) |
The ISA client adapter has DIP switches for setting the Plug and Play mode (PnP), I/O Base Address, and Interrupt Levels (IRQ). the default settings for all switches is off, which sets PnP mode to on. In PnP mode (the normal setting for Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows 2000 systems), the Base Address and IRQ settings do not apply. In Windows NT systems, you cannot operate in PnP mode.
Because expansion cards in a computer cannot share the same Base Address or IRQ, it may be necessary to manually set the DIP switches to avoid address conflicts. In non-PnP mode on any operating system, the default settings will probably result in address conflicts.
DIP switches are factory-set for PnP mode (DIP switch 6 off), the recommended setting for Windows 95, 98, and 2000 systems. When DIP switch 6 is off, the other DIP switch settings do not apply.
| DIP Switch 6 | |
On=Non-PnP mode | Off=PnP mode (default) |
The ISA client adapter occupies 64 I/O address locations, with an I/O Base Address that can be set to the addresses in the table below. The default factory setting is 340; a recommended setting would be 180. The I/O Base Address is set with DIP switches 4 and 5. When DIP switch 6 is off (PnP mode enabled), switch 4 and 5 settings do not apply.
| DIP Switch 4 | DIP Switch 5 | Base Address |
On | On | 140 |
Off | On | 180 |
On | Off | 300 |
Off | Off | 340 (default) |
The IRQ (Interrupt) level is set using DIP switches 1 through 3. The default factory setting is 15; recommended settings would be 5 or 11. When DIP switch 6 is off (PnP mode enabled), the settings for DIP switches 1, 2, and 3 do not apply.
| DIP Switch 1 | DIP Switch 2 | DIP Switch 3 | IRQ Level |
On | On | On | 5 |
Off | On | On | 7 |
On | Off | On | 9 |
Off | Off | On | 10 |
On | On | Off | 11 |
Off | On | Off | 12 |
On | Off | Off | 14 |
Off | Off | Off | 15 (default) |
The FCC with its action in ET Docket 96-8 has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC certified equipment. Cisco Aironet 340 Series products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio according to the instructions found in this manual and the users guide on the Cisco Aironet 340 Series PCI/ISA Client Adapter product CD will result in user exposure that is substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
