| Setting up a secure wireless network can be too complicated. Most
computer users are aware of the advantages of using wireless at home
and at the office. Furthermore, most are aware that wireless networks
are especially vulnerable to hackers and therefore, special security
measures must be implemented. However, setting up these secure connections
often involves several tedious steps, requiring a certain level of
expertise to complete. |

Buffalo’s AirStation
OneTouch Secure System (AOSS™). With AOSS, users can
set up secure wireless connections. AOSS automatically detects
and configures other AOSS enabled wireless devices and clients
and seamlessly creates secure connections. As you add additional
devices, security is negotiated at the highest level possible
for all devices on the network. |

The above diagram shows two different
types of client devices connecting to the wireless network via AOSS.
Notebook Adapter to Router:
• Press AOSS button (1) on the router to initiate the AOSS
session.
• Click the AOSS button (2) in the Buffalo Client Manager Software.
• DONE – A secure connection is automatically established between
the Router and Notebook.
Ethernet Converter to Router:
• Press AOSS button (1) on the router to initiate the AOSS
session.
• Press the Reset button on the Ethernet Converter (3).
• DONE – A secure connection is automatically established between
the Router and the Ethernet Converter. |

| When two or more AOSS clients attach
to the AOSS network, the client and router automatically negotiate
the highest level of security that the clients and router can support.
In the above example, one of the AOSS clients supports both WEP and
WPA level encryption(TKIP and AES), while the other supports only
WEP. AOSS automatically adjusts the security to a level that both
clients support. |
