STANDARD SETTINGS

3. 1 Introduction

Setting up the AirStation parameters us-
ing Buffalo's utility tool, Client Manager,
requires basic wireless confi guration
knowledge. Setup includes manual wire-
less confi guration and basic administra-
tive management.
For explanation of each parameter and
its use, see Chapter 4.

3.2 Setup Preparation

Make note of the WBR-G54's wired MAC
address (found on the back of the WBR-
G54). It is also recommended you record
any other broadband access information
such as global IP address, subnet mask
address, default gateway address, DNS
server address and PPPoE parameters.

3.3 Setup Overview

The WBR-G54 CD contains the Client
Manager program. The Client Manager is
used for setting up and confi guring the
access point and for monitoring the wire-
less signal between the AP and client.
Specialized setups for security, fi ltering
and other features will be explained in
later sections.
