Connecting Wireless Clients to your Network
Buffalo supports three different
methods for connecting your wireless
client device to your network.
If your AP supports it, use the simple,
utterly secure AOSS to connect.
Install the Client Manager from your
AirNavigator CD (page 6) and turn to
page 12.
You may also use the Client Manager
software from your AirNavigator CD to
configure your network manually. See
page 15 for more on Client Manager.
If you’re running Windows XP or Vista
on your PC, you may use their built-in
wireless tools to connect to your router/
AP. See page 22 for more on XP or 26
for more on Vista.
11
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.
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 congures
itself in seconds. If your router doesn’t
support AOSS, turn to page 6 to
congure your connection manually with
Client Manager or Wireless Zero Cong.
Using AOSS
12
• From the Status Screen, select the Proles tab.
• Click 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 ash.
Using AOSS
13
Once AOSS is complete (about 30 seconds), the connection is archived as a prole 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 nding
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, temporarily disable all personal rewalls on
your PC, such as ZoneAlarm or Microsoft Personal Firewall. These programs may be re-
enabled after AOSS has nished.
