Because it is a radio device, the bridge can communicate beyond the physical boundaries of your building. Configure some combination of these security features to protect your network from intruders: • A unique SSID that are not broadcast in the bridge beacon (see Chapter 7, "Configuring SSIDs" • WEP and WEP features (see Chapter 9, "Configuring WEP and WEP Features") • Dynamic WEP and bridge authentication (see Chapter 10, "Configuring Authentication Types") Using the IP Setup Utility IPSU enables you to find the bridge's IP address when it has been assigned by a DHCP server. You can also use IPSU to set the bridge's IP address and SSID if they have not been changed from the default settings. This section explains how to download the utility from Cisco.com and install it, how to use it to find the bridge's IP address, and how to use it to set the IP address and the SSID. Note IPSU can be used only on the following operating systems: Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, or XP. Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide 2-8 OL-4059-01
