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.
12
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
13
• 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
14
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.
Using AOSS
15
You may use Client Manager to congure your wireless network. Client Manager consists
of the Status page, the Survey page, and the Proles page. You can access each page by
clicking the corresponding button on Client Manager. In addition to these pages, several
dialog boxes are also available. You can access the Edit Prole dialog box, New Prole
dialog box, IP Conguration dialog box, or WEP Conguration dialog box using the Client
Manager pages. You may also initiate AOSS.
Status Page
Click Status to open this page. By
default, this page is displayed when
you start Client Manager. Details of

• Channel – The channel that the two wireless clients are using for communication. If
the Client Manager is not connected to a remote wireless device, no channel will be
displayed. Channels 1-11 may be used.
• Security – The type of encryption in use. If the Client Manager is not connected to a
remote wireless device, then ‘No Encryption’ will be displayed.
• IP Address – The IP address of the machine the Client Manager is installed on. If the
Client Manager is not connected to a network with DHCP, then no IP address will be
displayed.
• MAC Address – The MAC address of the wireless client device inside the computer
Client Manager is installed on. If no wireless device is present in the computer, then no
MAC Address will be displayed.

the wireless networks.
• Encryption – Displays whether the wireless
network is using any sort of encryption.
Click Connect to connect to a highlighted SSID,
or Refresh to update the list of available wireless
devices.

This dialog will open for you to enter any necessary encryption information.
The correct encryption type should already be
selected automatically in the Encryption Method
drop down list. Only change this setting if
necessary.
The Encryption Key is where the actual key for
the wireless network should be entered. Some
wireless networks allow you to enter multiple
keys; four separate elds are available for this. If
your network only uses one encryption key, then
please use the rst eld (#1) to enter your key.
The Register Prole option will store this
wireless network in your proles. You will then
automatically connect to this network when
inside its range. This is recommended if you plan
on using this wireless network again.
Press the Connect button once you have completed entering encryption information.

connect to that network when you are in
that location. The Proles page allows you
to add, delete, and edit your proles, as
well as import and export data.
• Connect – Click the Connect button
to connect to the selected prole and
return to the Status page.
• Edit – Click the Edit button to edit the
selected prole’s settings. The Edit

Wireless Zero Conguration Service (Windows XP)
Windows XP offers the Wireless Zero Conguration Service to support 802.11b and
802.11g wireless networking. This service automatically polls the area for available
wireless access points. If an available wireless access point is found, Windows attempts
to connect to the access point. If no available wireless access points are found, you must
manually add the access point information to connect (for example when the SSID is not
broadcasted).
Note: The Wireless Zero Conguration Service and Client Manager do not function
properly together. If you want to use Client Manager, disable the Wireless Zero
Conguration Service.
Enabling the Wireless Zero Conguration Service
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services to open the Services

Troubleshooting / FAQ
What should I do if I already have a version of Client Manager on my PC?
Update your Client Manager to the version on the CD. If you do not update your Client
Manager, there could be a loss of functionally, as some older versions of Client Manager
will not work properly with the AG300N Wireless Notebook Adapter. Before updating
Client Manager, uninstall any previous versions of Client Manager. To update your Client
Manager, load the Air Navigator CD and select Install Client Manager. Proles can rst
be exported from the Proles tab of Client Manager and then imported back into Client
Manager after installation.
Why won't Client Manager function properly?
The Wireless Zero Conguration Service in Windows XP conicts with Client Manager. If
you use Windows XP, make sure that the Wireless Zero Conguration Service is disabled.
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services. Select Disabled in
the Startup Type eld of Wireless Zero Conguration Service to enable the Wireless
Zero Conguration Service. The default value of Wireless Zero Conguration Service is
Automatic.
I have more than one Air Navigator CD. Do I need more than one CD?
No. The same Air Navigator CD works with all Buffalo Technology access points and
wireless adapters. Please use the newest CD you have, with the highest revision number
on it.
