Enable WPS
WPS is enabled by default, but it is disabled if SSID is configured [
is not NULL] or if the device
is connected in Soft AP mode.
To use WPS with the Commissioning button, enable it by configuring
D0 (DIO0/AD0/ CB Configuration)
to 1.
Use WPS
To invoke WPS:
1. Press the Commissioning button twice if
D0 (DIO0/AD0/ CB Configuration)
is set to 1.
or
1. Enter
CB2
to use the
command.
2. Then, you must press a corresponding WPS button on a nearby WPS-capable access point (AP) ,
which allows the security parameters to be exchanged and the connection to the AP to occur.
Pre-shared key (PSK) mode security
Pre-shared key (PSK) mode, also known as Personal mode, is designed for home and small office
networks that do not require the complexity of an 802.1X authentication server. Each wireless
network device encrypts the network traffic using a 256 bit key. You can enter this key either as a
string of 64 hexadecimal digits, or as a passphrase of 8 to 63 printable ASCII characters. If you use
ASCII characters, the 256 bit key is calculated by applying the PBKDF2 key derivation function to the
passphrase, using the SSID as the salt and 4096 iterations of HMAC-SHA1.
