Wps Settings - HP PS110 Configuration And Administration Manual

WPS settings

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to be a convenient method to securely add new clients
to a wireless network. WPS has two basic modes of operation, Push-button Configuration (PBC)
and Personal Identification Number (PIN). The WPS PIN setup is optional to the PBC setup and
provides more security. You can use this mode by entering a PIN number on the web page.
Alternatively, the WPS button on the back of the router can be pressed to allow a single WPS-
compliant device to join the network.
This page includes the following settings:
WPS enable
Enables the WPS function on the router.
Configuration state
Allows the wireless security to be set manually for the router, or selected automatically by WPS.
•
Configured: Wireless security is manually set by the user.
•
Unconfigured: Wireless security is set automatically by WPS.
Lock
This function enables you to lock the WPS PIN setting, which prevents it being changed by any
external WPS registrar. Wireless clients can still be added to the network using the WPS push-
button configuration. It is still possible to manually change the router's wireless settings.
WPS Method
Selects the WPS method for clients wanting to join the network:
•
PIN: Uses the PIN setting method. Make sure the WPS function has been enabled on the
device. On the client side, start the WPS utility that is provided by your Wi-Fi card's vendor
and select the PIN method. You should have an 8-digit PIN number with the WPS utility.
