Thomas can now use the WPS feature to establish a wireless connection between
his notebook and the ZyXEL Device (see
Section 4.2.2 on page 41
). He can also
use the notebook’s wireless client to search for the ZyXEL Device (see
Section
4.2.3 on page 46
).
4.2.2
Using WPS
This section shows you how to set up a wireless network using WPS. It uses the
ZyXEL 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).
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
ZyXEL Device. A wireless client must also use the same PIN in order to
download the wireless network settings from the ZyXEL Device.
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1
Make sure that your ZyXEL Device is turned on and your notebook is within the
cover range of the wireless signal.
2
Make sure that you have installed the wireless client driver and utility in your
notebook.
3
In the wireless client utility, go to the WPS setting page. Enable WPS and press
the WPS button (
Start
or
WPS
button).

Push and hold the
WPS
button located on the ZyXEL Device’s rear panel for more
than 5 seconds. Alternatively, you may log into ZyXEL Device’s web configurator
and click the
Push Button
in the
Network
>
Wireless LAN
>
WPS Station
screen.
Note: Your ZyXEL Device has a WPS button located on its rear 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 ZyXEL 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 ZyXEL Device securely.

PIN Configuration
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both the ZyXEL
Device’s web configurator and the wireless client’s utility.
1

select the PIN method to get a PIN number.
2
Enter the PIN number in the
PIN
field in the
Network
>
Wireless LAN
>

screen on the ZyXEL Device.
3
Click the
Start
buttons (or the button next to the PIN field) on both the wireless
client utility screen and the ZyXEL Device’s
WPS Station
screen within two
minutes.
The ZyXEL Device authenticates the wireless client and 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 ZyXEL Device securely.
