Shut down Windows and turn off your computer. Unplug the power cord from the surge
protector or the power supply. Using a grounding wrist-strap attached to a metal part of the
PC’s chassis, install the AirStation Card into an open PCI slot in your PC. You will probably
have to remove a panel from your PC to access the PCI slots. Consult your PC’s user manual for
instructions on adding a PCI card.
After the card is installed and the PC’s case reassembled, screw each of the WLI-PCI-G300N’s
antenna connectors to one of the RP-SMA connectors on the back of the card.

Installing Client Manager
Buffalo’s Client Manager software lets
you survey and connect to any supported
wireless networks. It also allows for one
touch setup and configuration via AOSS.

antenna) to use it.

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 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.
Using AOSS to Connect to Your Network

•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.
•Hold down the AOSS button on your router/AP for a few seconds or until the
AOSS LED begins to ash.
Using AOSS

11
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.
