There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do
both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See Section 7.3.1 on page 54 .This is the easier method.
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the WAP5705’s interface. See Section 7.3.2 on page 55 . This
is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
7.3.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1
Make sure that your WAP5705s are turned on and that they are within range of each other.
2
Make sure the WPS ( ) buttons of both WAP5705s are on.
3
Press the WPS buttons for more than three seconds. The WPS LEDs blink.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
Note: Your WAP5705 has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in
its Web Configurator. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can also
log into the Web Configurator and press the Push Button in the AP’s
Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN > WPS Station screen and the PBC
Start button in the client’s Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN > WPS
screen.
The AP sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two
minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the AP securely.
