2.  Obtain the username and password for your authentication server account from your system 

administrator.  Note: The password is optional because not all host accounts on the authentication 
server are set up with a password. 

3.  Enter the username in the User Name field.  Usernames and passwords are case sensitive and can 

contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.  Note: If your RADIUS server account specifies a 
domain, enter the domain name before the username and separate the two with a forward slash (e.g., 
domain/username). 

4.  Enter the password in the Password field if the authentication server account was set up with a 

password.  Note: For security reasons, the characters entered for the password are displayed as 
asterisks. 

5. Click OK. If the username and password were entered correctly, they are written to volatile 

memory on the Aironet adapter. The username and password remain on the adapter until power is 
removed from the adapter, typically due to the adapter being ejected or the YEStablet powering 
down. 

6.  One of three scenarios occurs: 

a)  The client adapter authenticates to the authentication server using your username and password 

and receives a dynamic, session-based WEP key. The bottom of the ACU screen indicates that 
your client adapter is authenticated to an access point. 

b)  If you enter the username and password incorrectly or enter ones that are not valid, the Wireless 

Login Module screen reappears with a message indicating that your login was incorrect. You 
are able to retry immediately by re-entering the username and password. 

c)  The adapter times out while trying to authenticate, possibly because it is out of range of an 

access point. After 60 seconds, a message appears indicating that the first attempt to 
authenticate failed and that the adapter will continue trying.  Note: During the 60 seconds 
before the timeout occurs, WLM is running in the background. It is hidden and does not appear 
as a running program. If you try to start WLM during this time, nothing happens because it is 
already running. 

 

 
YEStablet properties are normally accessed and set up from the Control Panel, which can be accessed 
from My Computer Æ Control Panel or Start Æ Settings Æ Control Panel.  From the Control 
Panel, you can access over twenty different property categories, many of which are very similar to, or 
are a subset of, standard Windows PC properties.
