quickly connect to a Wi-Fi network without the use of a keyboard.

If the WPS is enabled by selecting Enable, then WPS Summary and WPS Progress
sections are displayed, as shown in Figure 23 above. You can select either PIN mode
or PBC mode.
WPS mode Definition
PIN When this mode is selected, you need to enter a PIN on both
the wireless client and your AirCard Hub to enable a secure
wireless connection. For instructions on displaying the PIN, see
the user manual of your wireless device.
PBC When the PBC (Push Button Configuration) mode is enabled
you need to press the WPS button on the AirCard mobile
hotspot to initiate the process to enable a secure wireless
connection.
Note: The WPS feature is available on many more recent products, such as cameras, printers,
smart phones, and laptops. Check the user guide that came with your device to find out if this
feature is supported and to configure your device.
