AMG1202-TSeries as the AP and ZyXEL NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to the

notebook.

Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter

or PCMCIA card).

There are two WPS methods to set up the wireless client settings:

•

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

- simply press a button. This is the easier of the two

methods.

•

PIN Configuration

- configure a Personal Identification Number (PIN) on the AMG1302/

AMG1202-TSeries. A wireless client must also use the same PIN in order to download the wireless

network settings from the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

Make sure that your AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries is turned on and your notebook is within the cover

range of the wireless signal.

screen.

Note: It doesn’t matter which button (on the client or the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries) is

pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the

first one.

The AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This

may take up to two minutes. The wireless client is then able to communicate with the AMG1302/

AMG1202-TSeries securely.
