supported wireless networks. It
also allows for one touch setup and
configuration via AOSS.

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 the next page.

Alternatively, you can set up your wireless
connections manually:

• Click the Scan tab in Client Manager.

It will show you a list of available
networks.

• Choose the network 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.

Note: If you only have one encryption key,

enter it in the first (#1) field.

Using AOSS to Connect to Your Network

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

wireless clients to a wireless router or 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. Once AOSS has been setup, your

other devices will need to be connected to the wireless network by performing
AOSS or by manually adding the device to the wireless network. Please consult
the user manual that came with your AOSS Wireless Router or Access Point to
retrieve the necessary connection information.

The AOSS button for the WLI-PCI-G300N 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.

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.

• Now, press the AOSS button on the Access Point. Hold it down 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.
