AirStation Connected Computer

Decide on a Mode for Initial Connection to the AirStation

Buffalo recommends using a wired connection for initial configuration, meaning

your computer is physically connected to the AirStation with an Ethernet cable

plugged into the LAN port of the WLA2-G54C and to a network computer. This

type of setup will eliminate possible wireless setup problems due to any issues

with the wireless adapter on the computer being used to configure the bridge.

If there is not an Ethernet adapter available on the computer being used to

configure the bridge, wireless configuration may be performed using a correctly

installed 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter (see the next page for instructions

on this).

Configuring the AirStation using a wired connection

When using a wired connection, the first step is to manually configure an IP

address for the network adapter on your computer. This is done by:

Windows 98SE

- Right-click on Network Neighborhood or

My Network Places and select Properties

- Select the Configuration tab, scroll down

to TCP/IP- -> Wireless LAN Adapter

and press Properties

- Specify an IP address

- IP address = 192.168.11.2

- Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

- Click OK to close Internet Protocol (TCP/

IP) Properties

- Close the Network Connections window

Windows 2000/ME/XP

- Right-click on the Network Connection

inside of the Network Connections win-

dow and select Properties. Network

Connections can be found in the PC's

Control Panel.

- Scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

and press Properties

- Select Use the following IP address

- IP address = 192.168.11.2

- Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

- Click OK to close Internet Protocol (TCP/

IP) Properties

- Close the Network Connections window

Decide on a Mode for Initial Connection to the AirStation

Configuring the AirStation using a Wireless connection

Please consult with your wireless client card manufacturer on the proper setup

and operation of your client card. You will need to wirelessly associate to the

WLA2-G54C by connecting to its SSID (Refer to Page 2 of this Quick Setup

Guide for more Information).

Before you attempt to connect to the AirStation's Configuration Pages, you must

first manually configure an IP address on your computer. This is done by:

Windows 98SE

- Right-click on Network Neighborhood or

My Network Places and select Properties

- Select the Configuration tab, scroll down

to TCP/IP- -> Wireless LAN Adapter

and press Properties

- Specify an IP address

- IP address = 192.168.11.2

- Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

- Click OK to close Internet Protocol (TCP/

IP) Properties

- Close Network Connections window

Windows 2000/ME/XP

- Right-click on Wireless Network

Connection and select Properties

- Scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

and press Properties

- Select Use the following IP address

- IP address = 192.168.11.2

- Subnet mask = 255.255.255.0

- Click OK to close Internet Protocol (TCP/

IP) Properties

- Close Network Connections window

After you have configured the network adapter properties and are connected

or associated to the wireless bridge, Basic and Advanced configurations can

be made to customize internal and external connections. A convenient web

browser interface is included on the bridge to allow these modifications. Launch

a web browser window such as Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator to

configure the AirStation. In the Address field of the web browser window,

type in http://192.168.11.100 and click “Go” or enter to access the browser

configuration interface. If you have previously modified the LAN IP address,

enter the custom IP address instead. If

the IP address has been lost / forgotten

press the red INIT button on the bottom

face of the AirStation for several seconds

until the red DIAG light illuminates. This

will restore the bridge to default factory

settings.

Note: If you cannot access the interface, verify that you have correctly

connected the AirStation’s cables and followed the previous steps. Otherwise,

please contact Buffalo Technical Support through one of the options listed at the

end of this guide.

AirStation Configuration

At this point, you will need to enter a User name and password. Enter “root ”

as the User name and leave the password field blank. Click OK to enter the

configuration page.

From here you can configure LAN IP settings, encryption, etc.

Note: If you cannot access the interface, verify that you have correctly

connected the AirStation’s cables and followed the previous steps. Otherwise,

please contact Buffalo Technical Support through one of the options listed at the

end of this guide.

This completes the basic AirStation Configuration. To change advanced

settings consult the Online Manual on the AirNavigator CD-ROM or your ISP for

more information.

Once configuration has been completed and the AirStation is configured

properly, it is important to return the network properties back to "Obtain an

IP address automatically". This can be done by accessing the Network

Connection info as seen on Page 4 and Page 5 of this Quick Setup Guide, and

selecting, "Obtain IP address automatically" from the TCP/IP options.

Using AOSS

AOSS (AirStation One-Touch Secure System™) is a simple, one-touch setup for

connecting wireless clients to an access point while setting up the most secure

possible connection. Users no longer need to worry about choosing the proper

security protocols, IP addresses, or ESS-ID's. The intelligence of AOSS

determines the most optimal connection and configures itself in seconds.

Note: AOSS automatically creates a secure connection between your AOSS Access

Point and client. You must have a Buffalo AOSS enabled wireless client device to use the

AOSS features of your AOSS Access Point/Router.

◗Configure your WLA2-G54C's network connection by referring to the above

mentioned instructions.

◗Once the WLA2-G54C has been configured, follow the directions to install

your wireless client device and its drivers if necessary. Certain wireless client

adapters require client software to configure them. If your device has a Client

Manager, then install it as well.

Note: If the wireless client adapter is

installed on a PC, then the AOSS client

manager will need to be installed as

well. If your wireless client adapter is a

standalone device that does not require a

PC, then just power up the device.

Standalone Devices:

Ethernet Converters and

Access Point Bridges

Client Manager Devices:

CardBus, USB, and PCI Adapters.

Using AOSS

continued

Note: AOSS mode will stay active for a period of two minutes. This is the time-slot

required to initiate the wireless client adapter.

◗Refer to your wireless client adapter's AOSS supplement to initiate the

wireless client adapter's AOSS mode.

◗Once the client adapter has begun communicating with the AOSS router, the

AOSS client will report a successful AOSS connection. This indicates that the

AOSS process has begun and the two devices are configuring themselves.

At this time, the AOSS Light on the WLA2-G54C will become solid. Please

refer to your wireless client adapter's supplement for the remainder of the

setup.

Additional AOSS Information:

◗Only one AOSS wireless client adapter can be configured to the AOSS

access point at a time. Thus, the button will need to be repressed for each

additional AOSS wireless client adapter that will be connected.

◗It is not necessary to AOSS client devices that have already been configured

via AOSS, unless significant changes have been made to the wireless

network.

◗Do not attempt to configure two separate AOSS networks at the same time,

as it may cause undesired configurations.

◗If an undesired client has connected via AOSS, it can be disconnected from

within the WLA2-G54C's advanced configuration AOSS menus.

◗Now that the WLA2-G54C and wireless

client adapter are installed, you can use

AOSS to configure them.

◗To begin the configuration, press the AOSS

button on the side of the WLA2-G54C

chassis until the AOSS LED on the front

begins to flash.

AOSS Mode is now active.
