4.3.7 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is one of the international
encryption standards developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance
for easily and quickly setting up a secure wireless net-
work. The encryption keys of the respective Wi-Fi devic-
es are transmitted automatically and continuously to
the other Wi-Fi device(s) in the wireless network. The
dLAN 550 WiFi offers two different variants for trans-
mitting these encryption keys:
WPS via PBC (Push Button Configuration):
Start the encryption

either by pressing the Wi-Fi button on the
front panel of the device or
by pressing the Start setup button on the
user interface under Wi-Fi configuration
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS).
Then either press the WPS key of the Wi-Fi device
you are adding or enable the WPS mechanism in
the Wi-Fi settings of the Wi-Fi device. Now the
devices exchange their encryption keys and estab-
lish a secure Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi LED on
the front panel indicates the synchronisation pro-
cess by flashing.
WPS via PIN:
To interconnect Wi-Fi devices in your wireless net-
work securely by means of PIN variants, enter an
individualised key in the configuration interface
under Wi-Fi configuration
Setup (WPS) PIN and start the encryption pro-
cess by pressing the Start setup button.
Open the configuration interface of the Wi-Fi cli-
ent to be added and transmit the PIN selected on
the dLAN 550 WiFi. Confirm the encryption pro-
cess as described there. Now the devices
exchange their encryption keys and establish a
process on the
secure Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi LED on the
front panel indicates the synchronisation process
by flashing.
Use of the WPS method implies the use of the WPA/
WPA2 encryption standard. Therefore take note of the
following automatic settings:
