Cisco Small Business WAP121 and WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with PoE
Backward Compatibility with WPS Version 1.0
Although the WAP121 supports WPS version 2.0, the WAP device interoperates
with enrollees and registrars that are certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance to conform to
version 1.0 of the WPS protocol.

Configuring WPS Settings

You can use the WPS Setup page to enable the WAP device as a WPS-capable
device and configure basic settings. When you are ready to use the feature to
enroll a new device or add the WAP device to a WPS-enabled network, use the
WPS Process page.
For security reasons, it is recommended, but not required, that you use an HTTPS
connection to the web-based configuration utility when configuring WPS.
To configure the WAP device as a WPS-capable device:
Click Wireless > WPS Setup in the navigation window.
The WPS Setup page shows global parameters and status, and parameters and
status of the WPS instance. An instance is an implementation of WPS that is
associated with a VAP on the network. The WAP device supports one instance
only.
Configure the global parameters:
• Supported WPS Version—The WPS protocol version that the WAP device
supports.
• WPS Device Name—A default device name displays. You can assign a
different name of up to 32 characters, including spaces and special
characters.
• WPS Global Operational Status—Whether the WPS protocol is enabled or
disabled on the WAP device. It is enabled by default.
• WPS Device PIN—A system-generated eight-digit WPS PIN for the WAP
device. The administrator may use this generated PIN to register the WAP
device with an external registrar.
You can click Generate to generate a new PIN. This is advisable if network
integrity has been compromised.
