AMG1202-TSeries 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).

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 AMG1302/

AMG1202-TSeries. A wireless client must also use the same PIN in order to download the wireless

network settings from the AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries.

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

Make sure that your AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries is turned on and your notebook is within the cover

range of the wireless signal.

pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the

first one.

The AMG1302/AMG1202-TSeries sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This
