Configuring Wireless Security
The front panel has a
WPS
button for configuring wireless security automatically. Pressing
this button for 5 seconds automatically configures wireless security. If the client device
supports WPS Push Button Configuration (PBC), press the button on the client within 60
seconds to automatically configure security on the client.
After pressing this button for 5 seconds, the
WPS
LED on the front panel flashes. When a
client joins the network successfully, the LED remains ON until the next WPS action or the
device reboots. If no client joins, the LED stops blinking after 4 minutes.
