Configuring Wi-Fi Protected Setup
The i38HG supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is a standard for easy and secure establishment of
a wireless home network. Using WPS simplifies the process of connecting any home device to the wireless
network. As an AP
, the i38HG issues and revokes credentials to a network. The i38HG provides a push
button on the front panel to enable the synchronization between the AP and the client (analogous to the
pairing of the garage door opener and remote control).
WPS supports both push button and PIN-based configuration methods with the access point functions as a
standalone registrar. When either method is enabled, the gateway automatically detects the presence of a
WPS-enabled client device. Both methods require WPA or WPA2 security enabled and the predefined
passphrase is provided to the WPS device.
Using the Push Button Method
The gateway provides a push button on the front panel (
Figure 10
) to enable the synchronization between
the AP and the client (analogous to the pairing of the garage door opener and remote control). The push
button method has the advantage that no other device needs to be first connected to the gateway. You
simply push the button on the gateway followed by pushing the button on the client device.
Figure 10: WPS Location
Note:
For the WPS to work, the wireless client device must support the WPS
function. The installation and configuration vary among the device
manufacturers, refer to your client documentation for instructions.
