14.2.2 Wireless network connection (WLAN)
Depending on the network, there are a number of ways to
connect to it. Networks that support connection via WPS
(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are identified in the list as [
WPS
].
Other connections are either open networks or connections
protected with a PSK, or Pre-Shared-Key.

WPS allows simple and nevertheless protected connection
of the radio to the network. Two options are available
for this purpose: The connection can be set up by means
of PBC, or Push-Button Confi guration, or by the PIN
procedure, in which the web interface of your router
prompts you to enter a randomly generated sequence of
numbers.

Select your desired network. (Indicated by the prefix
[
WPS
]).
•
In the WPS menu, choose the
Push Button
option and
confirm your selection by pressing [
ENTER/NAVIGATE
].
•
Press the WPS button on your router or current access
point. This can often be done using the web interface,
as well.

Consult the operating instructions of your router or
access point for details.

Once the process has been started on the router or
access point, the radio should be able to find and
connect to the network.
