Connecting Wireless Clients to your Network Buffalo supports three different methods for connecting client devices like the WLI-PCIG300N to your wireless network: Buffalo Client Manager - Install Buffalo’s Client Manager software to survey and connect to any supported wireless networks. Client Manager allows for detailed profiles to be configured for each connection. Please see page 8 for Client Manager installation instructions. AOSS - Buffalo’s pushbutton wireless setup technology allows for easy, secure connection to any AOSS compatable Router or AP. You will need to install Client Manager to use AOSS; please see page 8. After installation, please see page 11 for instructions on using AOSS. Windows XP Wireless Zero Config - Windows XP’s built in wireless configuration utility. This requires no additional software but doesn’t offer detailed profiles or AOSS. NOTE: Zero Config is only available on Windows XP. Please see page 21 for Zero Config instructions. Client Manager Client Manager can be used to survey and connect to available access points, configure WPA/WEP encryption, and create connection profiles. It also lets you use AOSS. Note: When Client Manager is installed, Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration is automatically disabled. Installing Client Manager Insert the AirNavigator CD into the CDROM drive of you computer. If the Air Navigator Setup Wizard does not launch automatically, launch it manually by clicking Start and then Run. Enter D:\ Setup.exe in the dialog box that appears. Click OK. Select Install Wireless Client Manager. Client Manager • Once the Client Manager Installer launches, click Next. • Press Agree to accept the license agreement and continue installation. Client Manager • Click OK when Client Manager installation is complete. • Press Exit Setup to exit AirNavigator. • Client Manager is now installed and running. Right-click on its icon (the black antenna) to use it. 10 Using AOSS AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) is a simple, one-touch setup for connecting wireless clients to an access point while enforcing the most secure possible connection encryption type. Users no longer need to worry about choosing the proper security protocols, IP addresses, or SSID. AOSS determines the optimal connection and configures itself in seconds. If your router doesn’t support AOSS, turn to page 7 to configure your connection manually with Client Manager or Wireless Zero Config. The AOSS button for this wireless client is in its Client Manager software. Start Client Manager by right clicking on the black antenna icon in your System Tray, or by launching the Client Manager from your Start Menu: Programs >> Buffalo >>AirStation Utility >> Client Manager. 11 Using AOSS • From the Status Screen, select the Profiles tab. • Initiate AOSS by clicking the blue AOSS button on the Client Manager’s screen. The AOSS wizard will appear. • Now, press the AOSS button on the Access Point. Hold it down until the AOSS LED begins to flash. 12 Using AOSS Once AOSS is complete (about 30 seconds), the connection is archived as a profile for later use. To minimize Client Manager to the system tray, click the ‘X’ in the top right corner. Notes: AOSS will scan for an AOSS partner for about two minutes. If it times out before finding one, just press the AOSS buttons again. Output power is reduced to 25% of normal during AOSS for security reasons. If you’re having trouble making an AOSS connection, temporarily move the devices closer together. AOSS will automatically use the highest level of security available for all currently connected wireless devices. If you have trouble connecting with AOSS, temorarily disable all personal firewalls on your PC, such as ZoneAlarm or Microsoft Personal Firewall. These programs may be re-enabled after AOSS has finished. 13 Client Manager Configuration You may use Client Manager to configure your wireless network. Client Manager consists of the Status page, the Survey page, and the Profiles page. You can access each page by clicking the corresponding button on Client Manager.
