Step 2

Note
OL-1375-02
If your client adapter is experiencing poor throughput, you might want to restart the client adapter
to try to force it to disassociate from the access point to which it is currently associated in the hope
that it will reassociate to an access point with a stronger signal.
If you use LEAP and then disable it in ACU, you might want to restart the client adapter to ensure
that the adapter starts to use the static WEP key set in CEM instead of the dynamic WEP key
assigned during LEAP authentication.
When you click OK, the ACU screen closes. You have to re-open ACU to determine if the
client adapter is associated to an access point.
