6.2.1 WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard that simplifies wireless security
setup for certified network devices. Every WPS certified device has a PIN number
accessed through device software. The AR-5389u has a virtual button accessible
from the web user interface (WUI).
Devices with the WPS logo (shown here)
support WPS. If the WPS logo is not present
on your device it still may support WPS, in
this case, check the device documentation
for the phrase “Wi-Fi Protected Setup”.
NOTE:
WPS is only available in Open, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and Mixed
WPA2/WPA-PSK network authentication modes. Other authentication
modes do not use WPS so they must be configured manually.
To configure security settings with WPS, follow the procedures below. You must
choose either the Push-Button or PIN configuration method for Steps 6 and 7.
I. Setup
Step 1: Enable WPS by selecting Enabled from the drop down list box shown.
Step 2: Set the WPS AP Mode. Configured is used when the AR-5389 will assign
security settings to clients. Unconfigured is used when an external
client assigns security settings to the AR-5389.
NOTES: Your client may or may not have the ability to provide security settings to
the AR-5389. If it does not, then you must set the WPS AP mode to
Configured. Consult the device documentation to check its capabilities.
In addition, using Windows Vista, you can add an external registrar using
the StartAddER button (
Appendix D - WPS OPERATION ) has detailed
instructions).
