7.9 OTIST
In a wireless network, the wireless clients must have the same SSID and security settings as
the access point (AP) or wireless router (we will refer to both as “AP” here) in order to
associate with it. Traditionally this meant that you had to configure the settings on the AP and
then manually configure the exact same settings on each wireless client.
OTIST (One-Touch Intelligent Security Technology) allows you to transfer your AP’s SSID
and WEP or WPA-PSK security settings to wireless clients that support OTIST and are within
transmission range. You can also choose to have OTIST generate a WPA-PSK key for you if
you didn’t configure one manually.
"
OTIST replaces the pre-configured wireless settings on the wireless clients.
"
OTIST is not available in AP+Repeater or Bridge mode at the time of writing.
7.9.1 Enabling OTIST
You must enable OTIST on both the AP and wireless client before you start transferring
settings.
"
The AP and wireless client(s) MUST use the same Setup key .
