Install Options

The USB Keychain has a unique Auto Install feature. By default, this is enabled and the keychain

adapter will automatically load its driver and software from internal memory.

If the feature is disabled, it will be necessary to intall the adapter from the AirNavigator CD inserted into
your CD-ROM drive.

To disable the Auto Install feature, use a paperclip of other pointed object to move the small

switch to the far left. If the small switch is on the right side over the black circle, Auto

Client Manager Configuration

Client Manager Configuration

Use Client Manager to configure your wireless network. To assist in configuring
your wireless network, Client Manager consists of the Status page, the Survey
page, and the Profiles page. You can access each page by clicking the corre
sponding button on Client Manager. In addition to these pages, several dialog
boxes are available to meet specialized configuration needs. You can access
the Edit Profile dialog box, New Profile dialog box, IP Configuration dialog box,
or WEP Configuration dialog box using the Client Manager pages.

Status Page

Click the Status button to open this
page. By default, this page is dis­played when you start
Client Manager. This page displays
the status of the connection be
tween the wireless adapter and
another wireless device. This page
only displays connection information
no changes to the connection can be
made from this screen.

This page includes the following
components:

Client Manager Configuration

• Rate – The speed that the two wireless clients are communicating at. If the
Client Manager is not connected to a remote wireless device (access
another client) then no rate will be displayed.

• Channel – The channel that the two wireless clients are communicating at.
If the Client Manager is not connected to a remote wireless device (a
point of another client) then no channel will be displayed. The available chan
nels for use are 1-11.

• Security– The type of encryption that the two wireless clients are communicat-
ing with. If the Client Manager is not connected to a remote wireless device
(access point of another client) 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 remote wireless device (access
point of another client) or 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 com-
puter Client Manager is installed on. If no wireless device is present in the
computer, then no MAC Address will be displayed.

point. The SSID is the unique net
work name that functions as an iden
tifier for your wireless devices. All
wireless devices on a network must
use identical SSIDs to successfully
associate with other devices on the
network. buffalo_test is an example
of a valid SSID.

Wireless Zero Configuration Service (Windows XP)

Windows XP offers the Wireless Zero Configuration Service to support 802.11b
and 802.11g wireless networking. This ser vice 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 ac
cess points are found, you must manually add the access points.

n Note: The Wireless Zero Configuration Service and Client Manager do not
function properly together. If you want to use Client Manager, you must disable
the Wireless Zero Configuration Service.

Enabling the Wireless Zero Configuration Service

Troubleshooting / FAQ

Troubleshooting / FAQ

Use this section to locate answers to frequently asked questions.

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 versions of
Client Manager will not work properly with the G54 Wireless 54Mbps Desktop
PCI Adapter. Before updating Client Manager, you must uninstall all previous
versions of Client Manager. To update your Client Manager, load the Air
Navigator CD and select Install Client Manager.

Why won't all my network clients work?

Some operating systems support only a limited number of network clients.

Windows 98/Me: These operating systems support only four network clients. If
you install more than four network clients, only the first four clients you install
will work.

Will Client Manager support all operating systems?

Client Manager and the G54 Wireless 54Mbps Desktop PCI Adapter currently
support only Windows 98/ME/2000/XP. They do not currently support Windows
NT, Mac OS, or Linux. For more information, refer to the Mac OS and Linux page

23

Troubleshooting / FAQ

Why won't Client Manager function properly?

Windows XP – The Wireless Zero Configuration Service conflicts with Client Man­ager. Select Start»Control Panel»Administrative Tools»Services to open the Services
window. Select
Service to disable the Wireless Zero Configuration Service.

I have more than one Air Navigator CD. Do I need more than one CD?

No. You receive the same Air Navagator CD with each Buffalo Technology ac­cess point and wireless adapter. The CDs are identical and you only need one
copy.
