Meet your ARIS Wireless Card
The first step to getting ARIS connected to your wireless
network is to insert your ARIS Wireless Card for Windows®.
It goes into the slot on the back of ARIS.
The card includes an Ethernet port, which you may not
need to use. More important are the WPS Button and the
Link Status Light.
In most cases, the status light and the WPS are the keys to
connecting ARIS to your wireless network. (More on network
set up in the next section.)
The card also has a Reset Button in case you need a “do
over.” This lets you reset the card to its factory settings.
So go ahead, slide that puppy in there.

Give ARIS some power
With the Wireless Card safely installed, it’s time to power up
your ARIS.
Insert the power cord into the back of ARIS.
Plug the other end into an outlet. ARIS has an internal
power supply that works with 120V to 240V AC power. ARIS
senses the proper voltage;!you don’t need to change
settings or flip switches for your type of power.
Switch the power button, also on the back of ARIS, to the
on position. The three LEDs on the front will light up and
then dim.
You’ll also notice that the Link Status Light on the Wireless
Card will light up and flash slowly. This means ARIS is ready
to connect to your wireless network.
Connect to a wireless network
One last step gets ARIS on your wireless network. You can
do this step the easy way or the even easier way. It’s really
up to your wireless router. You can also connect ARIS to a
wired network.
Easy way
If your router isn’t WPS compliant, don’t fret. You’ll connect
ARIS to your wireless network using your PC or a
smartphone.
Even easier way
If you have a WPS-compliant wireless router, you’ll just press
two buttons and be done. Most newer routers are WPS
compliant.
Next, we’ll give you details on set up of these connection
options.
You can also connect ARIS to a wired network by way of an
Ethernet cable. This option is easy to set up, too. More info
follows.
