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. The INIT switch initiates AOSS mode now. If you want to restore the factory default settings, hold the INIT switch up to 5 seconds when turn the unit on. 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. Standalone AOSS Device Client Manager Device 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 in the WLA2G54C's configuration. The AOSS menus can be found under the `Advanced' Configuration, Management, AOSS.
