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.

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 confi gures itself in seconds. Once AOSS has been run, 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-UC-G300N is in its
Client Manager software. 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.

Using AOSS to Connect to Your Network

• From the Status Screen, select the Profi 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 fl ash.

Using AOSS

11

Once AOSS is complete (about 30 seconds), the connection is archived as a profi 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 fi 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 fi rewalls on your PC,
such as ZoneAlarm or Microsoft Personal Firewall. These programs may be re-enabled after
AOSS has fi nished.
