  • Page 2: Basic Setup

    System Requirements • Desktop or Notebook computer with an RJ-45 Ethernet port (for configuration) • Web Browser (Firefox 1.0 or later, Mozilla 5.0 or later, or IE 5.0 or later) • 802.11b or 802.11g access point (Infrastructure Mode) OR a different computer with an 802.11b or 802.11g wireless adapter (Ad-hoc Mode).
  • Page 3: Aoss Installation

    AOSS Installation If your Wireless Router/Access Point supports AOSS, then AOSS can configure your wireless network for you. To use AOSS to connect your Ethernet converter to your wireless network: • Confirm that the Wireless Router/Access Point and the Ethernet Converter are both powered on.
  • Page 4: Manual Configuration

    Manual Configuration If your wireless router/access point doesn't support AOSS, you'll need to configure the access point manually. There are two ways to do this: you can use the Ethernet Converter Manager software if you have a Windows PC on the network (98/ME/2000/XP only), or you may use a web browser.
  • Page 5 Configuration with Ethernet Converter Manager Click on Ethernet Converter Manager. The Ethernet Converter Manager software will run. If the search doesn't begin automatically, select the Search for an Ethernet Converter option from the Edit drop down menu. The Ethernet Converter Manager will search for all Buffalo Ethernet Converters on your network.
  • Page 6 The IP Address Setup window will open. Check the box next to Use DHCP and press the OK button. The Ethernet Converter will reboot; this process may take as long as a minute. The Ethernet Converter Manager will then re-scan the network for Ethernet Converters.
  • Page 7 Configuration without Software You may also enter the Web-based Configuration Tool without using the software. This may be necessary to configure the converter without the use of a Windows PC. Use this method with Linux, Macintosh, other other non-Windows PCs to access the Web-based Configuration Tool. Refer to your operating system documentation on how to configure a Static IP address.
  • Page 8: Web-Based Configuration

    Web Based Configuration Welcome to Web-based Configuration, where changes to the Ethernet Converter's configuration are made. In Web Based Configuration, you can change the wireless network the Ethernet Converter is associated with, the IP address of the Ethernet Converter, and other important settings. After logging in on the previous pages, you will be greeted by the main configuration page.
  • Page 9 After selecting a wireless network to connect to, you will be returned to the main Web Based Configuration page. The SSID field will be filled in now. To communicate with your access point, the Encryption Mode must be set to use the same type of encryption as the rest of your network.
  • Page 10 Congratulations! Your Ethernet Converter is set up. For information on Advanced Settings, please see the User Manual located on the Ethernet Converter Utility CD-ROM. You may also download the latest version of the manual from www.buffalotech.com. To begin using your Ethernet Converter immediately, disconnect the Ethernet Converter from the network and power adapter, and move it to the desired location.
