4.3 Configuring Wireless Security Using WPS

This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS.
This example uses the WAP3205 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).
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
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a
wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the WAP3205's
interface. See

3
button (Start or WPS button)
Log into WAP3205's Web Configurator and press the Push Button button in the
4
Network > Wireless Client > WPS Station screen.
Note: Your WAP3205 has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button
in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can
use one or the other.
Note: It doesn't matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second
button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The WAP3205 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 WAP3205 securely.
