Thomas can now use the WPS feature to establish a wireless connection between his notebook and
the Device (see
Section 2.2.2 on page 16
). He can also use the notebook’s wireless client to search
for the Device (see
Section 2.2.3 on page 20
).
2.2.2
Using WPS
This section shows you how to set up a wireless network using WPS. It uses the Device 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), which can be identified by the WPS logo:
.
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 Device. A wireless
client must also use the same PIN in order to download the wireless network settings from the
Device.

Note: Your Device has a WPS button located on its front panel as well as a WPS button in
its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function: you can use
one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter if the WPS button on the wireless client or AP is pressed first. You
must press the button on the second device within two minutes of pressing the
button on the first device.
The Device 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 Device securely.
