This option does not appear if Connection Options is set to Push Button.
PAIR Button
If Connection Options is set to Push Button, click this button and push the WPS button on the wireless client to create the
wireless connection. The wireless connection is made within two minutes. You can also press the WPS button on the front

WPS Lock Status
lock_status
A read-only field that shows the Gateway’s lock status. WPS is a method for setting up a new wireless Gateway using a
push button or PIN.WPS has a vulnerability that makes a PIN susceptible to brute force attempts. The Gateway protects
itself after several failed attempts to authenticate via a PIN by entering a lock state. During the lock state, all WPS
attempts using the Gateway PIN will not work. While the Gateway is in a lock state, users can still use the WPS button
method to connect to the wireless network. Clicking UNLOCK returns the Gateway from the lock state.
