Overview

This chapter provides tutorials for setting up your NBG5715.

•

Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS

•

Configure Wireless Security without WPS

Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS

This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses

the NBG5715 as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.

Wireless LAN 2.4G is used as the wireless mode in this example.

Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter

or PCI card).

There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do

both.

•

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

- create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a

button. See

Section 9.2.1 on page 57

.This is the easier method.

•

PIN Configuration

- create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN

(Personal Identification Number) in the NBG5715’s interface. See

Section 9.2.2 on page 59

. This

is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

9.2.1

Push Button Configuration (PBC)

1

Make sure that your NBG5715 is turned on. The wireless LAN is enabled by default. Check if WLAN

2.4G LED is on. If not, you can enable wireless LAN by pressing the

WLAN On/Off

button on the

device’s side panel or in the

Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G

screen. Make sure that the device is

placed within range of your computer.

2

Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and

utility in your notebook.

3

In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (

Start

or

WPS

button).

4

Log into NBG5715’s Web Configurator and press the

Push Button

in the

Configuration >

Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G > WPS Station

screen.

Note: Your NBG5715 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 which button is pressed first. You must press the second button

within two minutes of pressing the first one.

The NBG5715 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to

two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the NBG5715 securely.

The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a

button on both NBG5715 and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).

PIN Configuration

When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both NBG5715’s configuration

interface and the client’s utilities.

1

Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method

to get a PIN number.

2

Enter the PIN number to the

PIN

field in the

Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G >

WPS Station

screen on the NBG5715.

3

Click

Start

buttons (or button next to the PIN field) on both the wireless client utility screen and the

NBG5715’s

WPS Station

screen within two minutes.

The NBG5715 authenticates the wireless client and sends the proper configuration settings to the

wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate

with the NBG5715 securely.

The following figure shows you the example to set up wireless network and security on NBG5715

and wireless client (ex. NWD210N in this example) by using PIN method.
