Windows XP includes the Zero Configuration Service, a

built in serrvice to configure your wireless clients from

within Windows. Turn to page 15 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 CardBus 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.

Right click the networking icon in the taskbar and

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

network. See page 23 if you need to enter an SSID

network name or WEP/WPA encryption key.
