Connecting Wireless Devices Using AOSS
You can use the physical AOSS button on your AirStation to easily connect wireless devices that support AOSS or WPS.
Consult your wireless device’s documentation for the location of its AOSS or WPS button.
If you already have a wireless network that was configured without using AOSS or WPS, connecting a new device with
AOSS will change its settings, disconnecting any previously connected wireless devices.
Push Button Configuration
Easily connect other wireless devices using the physical AOSS button.
1 Power on the AirStation.
2 Hold the physical AOSS button down for two seconds, then release it.
3 For the next 2 minutes, the AOSS LED will flash and the AirStation will automatically search for a nearby AOSS/WPS
device. The AirStation will automatically return to normal if a device isn’t found after 2 minutes.
4 Push the AOSS/WPS button on the wireless device. It should be automatically connected within 2 minutes.
You can repeat this for all AOSS/WPS devices you are attempt to connect with. If setup doesn’t work, open Settings and
ensure that the AOSS physical button is enabled.
Setting Up a VPN Server
You can configure a PPTP (VPN) server with either a dynamic DNS hostname or a static IP address.
Currently the AirStation supports both DynDNS and TZO. If you have a DynDNS or TZO account, you can enter the login
and hostname information under [Advanced Settings] > [Internet] > [Dynamic DNS].
PPTP Settings on the AirStation
Your computer should be directly connected to the AirStation.
