AP mode
For AP mode, Wireless Gateway supports three roles, registrar, proxy, and enrollee in registration protocol.
At different scenarios, Wireless Gateway will automatically switch to an appropriate role depending on the
other device’s role or a specific configuration.
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.
Instructions of AP’s and Client’s operations
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.
