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.
