14.2.2 Wireless network connection (WLAN)

Depending on the network, there are a number of ways to
connect to it. Networks that support connection via WPS
(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) are identified in the list as [WPS].
Other connections are either open networks or connections
protected with a PSK, or Pre-Shared-Key.
WPS-/PSK-/ open network connection
WPS allows simple and nevertheless protected connection
of the radio to the network. Two options are available
for this purpose: The connection can be set up by means
of PBC, or Push-Button Confi guration, or by the PIN
procedure, in which the web interface of your router
prompts you to enter a randomly generated sequence of
numbers.
PBC setup
• Select your desired network. (Indicated by the prefix
[WPS]).
• In the WPS menu, choose the Push Button option and
confirm your selection by pressing [ENTER/NAVIGATE].
• Press the WPS button on your router or current access
point. This can often be done using the web interface,
as well.
• Consult the operating instructions of your router or
access point for details.
• Once the process has been started on the router or
access point, the radio should be able to find and
connect to the network.
