Zero Configuration Service - Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54S User Manual

Zero Configuration Service

Windows XP includes the Zero Configuration Service, a
built in serrvice to configure your wireless clients from
within Windows. Turn to page 7 if you would rather use
Buffalo's Client Manager to configure your wireless client.
•
If the Wireless Zero Configuration Service is activated,
Windows will scan for available wireless access points
once the Wireless PCI Adapter is properly installed.
If Windows detects one or more access points, a
networking icon appears within the system tray. "One
or more wireless networks are available" will appear as
a caption accompanying the icon.

To start Wireless Zero Configuration manually, click
Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >>
Services. Select Automatic in the Startup Type field of
Wireless Zero Configuration Service.

select View Available Wireless Networks. Select an
SSID and click Connect. You may need to check the
box indicating you are connecting to an unsecured
