Instructions of AP’s and Client’s operations
At this state, AP is transparent to users. If users want to congure a station or any
device that is capable of being an enrollee, they have to enter device’s PIN into an
external registrar and choose an appropriate wireless prole. After the PIN is en-
tered, the external registrar will inform AP this event. AP then conveys the encrypted
wireless prole between the device and the external registrar. Finally, the device will
use the wireless prole and associate with AP. However, the device may connect to
other APs if the wireless prole does not belong to the proxy AP. Users must carefully
choose the wireless prole or create a wireless prole on an external registrar.
This device supports Push Button method and PIN method for WPS. The following
sub-paragraphs will describe the function of each item. The webpage is as below. To
access the WirelessNetworkWPSpage:
From the left-hand Wireless menu, click on WPS. The following page is dis-
played:
Field Description
Disable WPS Check to disable the Wi-Fi protected Setup.
WPS Status When AP’s settings are factory default (out of box), it is set to open
security and un-congured state. “WPS Status” will display it as
“UnCongured”. If it already shows “Congured”, some registrars
such as Vista WCN will not congure AP. Users will need to go
to the “Backup/Restore” page and click “Reset” to reload factory
default settings.
Self-PIN Number “Self-PIN Number” is AP’s PIN. Whenever users want to change
AP’s PIN, they could click “Regenerate PIN” and then click “ Apply
Changes”. Moreover, if users want to make their own PIN, they
could enter four-digit PIN without checksum and then click “ Apply
Changes”. However, this would not be recommended since the
registrar side needs to be supported with four-digit PIN.
