Deciding on a Mode for Initial AirStation Configuration
Wired Connection (recommended)
Wireless Connection
Do not connect the AirStation to your existing network
until configuration of the AirStation is complete!
Step
Connect your computer to the AirStation
Buffalo recommends using a wired connection, meaning your computer is physically
connected to the AirStation with an CAT5 cable plugged into the LAN port. This
type of setup will eliminate possible setup problems due to any issues with the wireless adapter on the computer being used to configure the AirStation.
A Web browser version 4.5 or later should be used to configure the
AirStation.
Using the provided CAT5 Ethernet Cable, connect one end to the 10/100Mbps
port on the AirStation and the other to your computers available Ethernet port.
