The WPS Screen

Use this screen to configure WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) on your AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to

configure security settings manually. Set up each WPS connection between two devices. Both

devices must support WPS. See

Section 7.10.8.3 on page 115

for more information about WPS.

Note: The AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries applies the security settings configured in the

General screen (see

Section 7.2 on page 92

). If you want to use the WPS feature,

make sure you have set the security mode to

WPA2-PSK

or

No Security

The WDS Screen

An AP using the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) can function as a wireless network bridge

allowing you to wirelessly connect wired network segments. The

WDS

screen allows you to

configure the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries to connect to other APs wirelessly when WDS is enabled.

Use this screen to set up your WDS (Wireless Distribution System) links between the AMG1302/

AMG1202-TSeries and other wireless APs. You need to know the MAC address of the peer device.

Once the security settings of peer sides match one another, the connection between devices is

made.

Note: WDS security is independent of the security settings between the AMG1302/

AMG1202-TSeries and any wireless clients.

Register

Enter the PIN of the device that you are setting up a WPS connection with and click

Register

to authenticate and add the wireless device to your wireless network.

You can find the PIN either on the outside of the device, or by checking the device’s

settings.

Note: You must also activate WPS on that device within two minutes to have it present its

PIN to the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.
