Installing Client Manager

directions to install the Client Manager
software.

want to use AOSS to connect to your
wireless network. Turn to page 8.

If you’re going to be configuring your
network manually, turn to page 7.

Using Client Manager to Connect to Your Wireless Network

If your router/AP supports AOSS, you can
set up your wireless network by pushing
two buttons. Turn to page 8.

To set up your connection manually, click
the Scan tab in Client Manager. It will
show you a list of available networks.

Choose the network that you want to
connect to and click Connect.

If the chosen wireless network is encrypted, select the
Encryption Method, enter one or more encryption keys,
and click Connect.

Using AOSS to Connect to Your Network

AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System) is a simple way to connect wireless

clients to an access point while enforcing the most secure encryption possible.
Users no longer need to worry about choosing the proper security protocols, IP

addresses, or SSID. AOSS determines the optimal connection and congures

itself in seconds.

The AOSS button for the WLI-CB-G240 is in its Client Manager software, which
you installed on page 6. 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.

Note: If you prefer to congure your network with

the Windows XP Zero Configuration tool, consult the
User Manual on your AirNavigator CD for instructions,
or consult your Windows XP documentation.

8

Using AOSS

• From the Status Screen, select the Proles tab.

• Click the blue AOSS button on the Client Manager’s screen. The AOSS wizard

will appear.

• Hold down the AOSS button on your router/AP for a few seconds or until the

AOSS LED begins to ash.

9

Using AOSS

Once AOSS is complete (about 30 seconds), the connection is archived as a prole 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.
