12.7.1 Connecting to a Wireless Network Using WPS

This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. The following
example uses the WAP6806 as the AP and NWD-211AN as the wireless client which connects to a
notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCI card).
The following WPS methods for creating a secure connection are described in the tutorial.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the WAP6806's interface. See
