WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection between the
wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode
and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless
connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router,
and WPS will do the rest for you.
The Push button on the WLX-5000 has 2 functions:
Client mode: If you push the button for 0-5 seconds the device acts as a WPS enrollee.
In this mode it’s set to connect to your existing Wireless network. You have to push the
button on your router within 2 minutes.
AP mode: If you push the button for 5-10 seconds the device acts as a WPS registrar. In
this mode it’s set to connect client devices to the WLX-5000. You have to push the button
on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client within 2 minutes.
If you want to use the PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client
and switch it to WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the
web configuration interface of the wireless router.
Check the box to enable the WPS function and uncheck it to disable the WPS function.
WPS Current Status If the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless
router is properly set, you’ll see a ‘Configured’ message here.
Otherwise, you’ll see ‘UnConfigured’.
Self Pin Code This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may
need this information when connecting to other WPS-enabled
wireless devices.
SSID This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router.
