 Connecting Cables and peripherals to the AirStation 54Mbps

Carefully following the instructions for connecting cables to your 

AirStation is

key to a quick and simple initial setup. Please pay attention to the order and port

in which cables are attached to ensure proper communications between your

computer, the 

AirStation and the Internet connection.

You can configure the 

AirStation with an Ethernet connection or via a

wireless connection.

• For Ethernet, you must connect an Ethernet cable (CAT5) from one of the

AirStation’s LAN ports to your computers Ethernet port

• For wireless, your Macintosh must have Apple’s Airport Software installed

and enabled, an Airport Extreme or Airport card or third party

802.11b/802.11g compatible client installed and functioning.

Power down the CATV or DSL modem and the computer which will be used

with the 

AirStation router.

Plug the CATV or DSL’s LAN Ethernet cable into the 

AirStation’s WAN 

port. Initially, you may need to unplug this cable from your computer, hub or

other router.

Plug the provided Ethernet cable into a LAN port on the 

AirStation and 

plug the other end into your computer Ethernet adapter’s (NIC) port. If 

you plan to initially configure the 

AirStation via a wireless connection, you

may skip this step.

Power on your CATV or DSL modem, wait one full minute, power on the 

AirStation, wait one full minute and then power on the computer which 

will be used to configure the

AirStation. If the red DIAG light on the 

AirStation is lit or flashing after several minutes of being powered on,

please consult Buffalo Technical Support.
