Using the WPS Feature of the C300BRS4A
The Conceptronic C300BRS4A supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). WPS is a standard for easy and secure
establishment of a wireless network. With WPS you can setup and protect your wireless network in just a
few easy steps.
Note:
To use WPS with the C300BRS4A, you need to have Wireless Clients which supports WPS. If you
have 1 or more Wireless Clients without WPS support, it is advised to secure your network
manually using the Setup Wizard, explained in
Chapter 5.3
.
Note:
For more (technical) information about WPS, you can visit the following website:

The C300BRS4A supports 2 ways to activate and establish a WPS connection:
-
Push Button technology
-
Pin Code technology
6.1
WPS – Push Button technology
The WPS Push Button technology requires a (virtual) button on your Wireless Client to establish a
connection between the C300BRS4A and your Wireless Client.
Some Wireless Clients work with a real button to activate the WPS Push Button technology; some Wireless
Clients use a software-based virtual button.
Follow the steps below to activate and establish a WPS connection with the Push Button technology:
A.
Press the WPS Button at the front of the C300BRS4A until the WPS LED blinks.
B.
Press the WPS Button at your Wireless Client. This can be a hardware button or a virtual button in
the software of your Wireless Client.
The C300BRS4A will activate WPA security over your wireless network and accepts the wireless connection
of your Wireless Client.
Note:
The C300BRS4A will keep the WPS authentication active for 120 seconds. During this process, the
WPS LED will blink. If there is no connection in these 120 seconds, the LED will turn off and the
WPS authentication process is stopped.
If the WPS feature is not used earlier, the wireless network will still be unencrypted.
If the authentication of the Wireless Client is succeeded, the WPS LED will burn steady blue for 5 minutes.
After these 5 minutes, the LED will turn off.
Your Wireless Client is now connected to the C300BRS4A and your network is secured with WPA
Encryption.
You can add more Wireless WPS Clients without loosing the connection to previous Wireless WPS Clients.
If you want to add more Wireless WPS clients, repeat step
A
&
B
.
Note:
The WPA Key generated by the C300BRS4A is random.
