AP as Enrollee
If users know AP’s PIN and enter it into external registrar, the external registrar will configure AP with
a new wireless profile such as new SSID and new security settings. The external registrar does this
job either utilizing the in-band EAP (wireless) or out-of-band UPnP (Ethernet). During the WPS
handshake, a wireless profile is encrypted and transmitted to AP. If the handshake is successfully
done, AP will be re-initialized with the new wireless profile and wait for legacy stations or WPS
stations to join its network.
AP as Registrar
Wireless Gateway also has a built-in internal registrar. Whenever users enter station’s PIN into AP’s
webpage, click “Start PBC”, or push the physical button, AP will switch to registrar automatically. If
users apply the same method on station side and the WPS handshake is successfully done, SSID
and security settings will be transmitted to that station without the risk of eavesdropping. And then
the station will associate with AP in a security-enabled network.
AP as Proxy
At this state, AP is transparent to users. If users want to configure a station or any device that is
capable of being an enrollee, they have to enter device’s PIN into an external registrar and choose
an appropriate wireless profile. After the PIN is entered, the external registrar will inform AP this
event. AP then conveys the encrypted wireless profile between the device and the external registrar.
Finally, the device will use the wireless profile and associate with AP. However, the device may
connect to other APs if the wireless profile does not belong to the proxy AP. Users must carefully
choose the wireless profile or create a wireless profile on an external registrar.
Infrastructure-Client mode
In Infrastructure-Client mode, Wireless Gateway only supports enrollee’s role. If users click “Start
PIN”, click “Start PBC”, or press the physical button on Wireless Gateway, it will start to seek WPS
AP. Once users apply the same method on registrar side, Wireless Gateway will receive the wireless
profile upon successfully doing the registration protocol. Then Wireless Gateway will associate with
an AP.
