4.1 WPS Automatic confi guration
Double-click the circled icon in the illustration to open the Hama Wireless LAN utility.
WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) is a function that makes the security confi guration of
the Wireless LAN connection easier. In order to be able to use the function, the
router/access point and the remote station (WLAN USB stick, PCI card or PCMCIA
card) must have the WPS function. To carry out the security confi guration,
proceed as follows:
The router/access point specifi es which encryption and which key is used. The
encryption entered here applies to all users of the network.
There are two methods:
a) Confi guration using the button
Press the WPS button on the router/access point. Within two minutes, you must press the PBC button on the WPS tab page in
the WLAN adapter’s confi guration program. The connection is now established automatically.
b) Pin code
Make a note of the pin code , which is displayed in the WLAN adapter’s confi guration program. Select the target network in the
upper list and then click PIN . Switch to the user interface of the router. If your router supports this method, you will fi nd an entry
fi eld for the pin code in the WPS settings. Enter the code you noted earlier and start the transmission. The connection is now
established automatically.
If the connection is successful, a profi le is created, which is restored automatically when you reconnect.

The found networks are displayed now. Select the correct network and click “ Connect ”.
Remark concerning hidden networks: the name is not shown in this case. Instead of that, it is
called “ Unnamed Network ”. When the connection has been established, you are asked for the
