Connecting Wireless Clients to your Network
Buffalo supports 3 different methods for
connecting your wireless device network.
Buffalo Client Manager - Install Buffalo’s Client
Manager software to survey and connect to any
supported wireless networks. Client Manager
allows for detailed profiles to be configured for
each connection. Please see page 7 for Client
Manager installation instructions.
AOSS - Buffalo’s push button wireless setup
technology allows for one touch wireless
connection setup (including security) with any
compatible AOSS Wireless Router or AP. This requires installing Client Manager. Please
see page 7 for Client Manager installation instructions. After installation, please see
page 10 for AOSS setup.
Windows XP Wireless Zero Config - Windows XP’s built in wireless configuration
utility. This requires no additional software installation but doesn’t offer detailed
profiles or AOSS. NOTE: Zero Config is only available on Windows XP. Please see page
20 for Zero Config instructions.

Client Manager
Client Manager can be used to survey and connect to available access points, configure
WPA/WEP encryption, and create connection profiles.
Note: Client Manager does not function properly if the Windows XP Wireless Zero
Configuration Service is enabled. When Client Manager is installed, Windows XP
Wireless Zero Configuration is automatically disabled.
Installing Client Manager
Insert the AirNavigator CD into the CD-
ROM drive of you computer. If the Air
Navigator Setup Wizard does not launch
automatically, launch it manually by
clicking Start and then Run. Enter D:\
Setup.exe in the dialog box that appears.
Click OK. Select Install Wireless Client
Manager.

Using AOSS
AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure
System) is a simple, one-touch setup for
connecting wireless clients to an access
point while enforcing the most secure
possible connection encryption type.
Users no longer need to worry about
choosing the proper security protocols,
IP addresses, or SSID. AOSS determines
the optimal connection and configures
itself in seconds. If your router doesn’t
support AOSS, turn to page 6 to
configure your connection manually with
Client Manager or Wireless Zero Config.
The AOSS button for this wireless client 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
• From the Status Screen, select the Profiles tab.
• Initiate AOSS by pressing the AOSS button on the Access Point. Hold it down until the
AOSS LED begins to flash.
• Now, click the blue AOSS button on the Client Manager’s screen. The AOSS wizard will
appear.

Using AOSS
Once AOSS is complete (about 30 seconds), the connection is archived as a profile 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 finding
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, temorarily disable all personal firewalls on your
PC, such as ZoneAlarm or Microsoft Personal Firewall. These programs may be re-enabled
after AOSS has finished.

Wireless Zero Configuration
Wireless Zero Configuration Service (Windows XP)
Windows XP offers the Wireless Zero Configuration Service to support 802.11b and
802.11g wireless networking. This service 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 access points are found, you must
manually add the access point information to connect (for example when the SSID is not
broadcasted).
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
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services to open the Services
configuration window. Select Automatic in the Startup Type field of Wireless Zero
Configuration Service to enable the Wireless Zero Configuration Service and click apply.

Troubleshooting / FAQ
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 older versions of Client Manager
will not work properly with the G300N Wireless Notebook Adapter. Before updating
Client Manager, uninstall any previous versions of Client Manager. To update your Client
Manager, load the Air Navigator CD and select Install Client Manager. Profiles can first
be exported from the Profiles tab of Client Manager and then imported back into Client
Manager after installation.
Why won't Client Manager function properly?
The Wireless Zero Configuration Service in Windows XP conflicts with Client Manager. If
you use Windows XP, make sure that the Wireless Zero Configuration Service is disabled.
Click Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Services. Select Disabled in the
Startup Type field of Wireless Zero Configuration Service to enable the Wireless Zero Con-
figuration Service. The default value of Wireless Zero Configuration Service is Automatic.
I have more than one Air Navigator CD. Do I need more than one CD?
No. The same Air Navagator CD works with all Buffalo Technology access points and
wireless adapters. Please use the newest CD you have, with the highest revision number
on it.
