Wps Setup Using A Pin - ZyXEL Communications P-330W - V1.90 User Manual

6.11.1 WPS Setup Using a PIN

Each WPS-enabled device has its own PIN (Personal Identification Number). The PIN is
located either on the outside of the device or in the configuration utility. The P-330W's WPS
default PIN can be found in the web configurator.
Use the PIN method instead of the push-button configuration (PBC) method if you want to
ensure that the connection is established between the devices you specify, not just the first two
devices to activate WPS in range of each other. However, you may need to log into the
configuration interfaces of both devices to use the PIN method.
When you use the PIN method, you must enter the PIN from one device (usually the wireless
client) into the second device (usually the Access Point or wireless router). Then, when WPS
is activated on the first device, it presents its PIN to the second device. If the PIN matches, one
device sends the network and security information to the other, allowing it to join the network.
Take the following steps to set up a WPS connection between the P-330W and another WPS-
enabled device (called a wireless client) using the PIN method.
1 Find the P-330W's WPS PIN. You can locate this by going into the web configurator and
clicking WPS under the Wireless menu.
2 Look for the WPS PIN on the wireless client; it will be displayed either on the device, or
in the WPS section of the client's configuration interface (see the device's User's Guide
for how to find the WPS PIN).
3 Enter the P-330W's PIN in the configuration interface of the wireless client. You can
also enter the PIN of the client into the P-330W's web configurator - it does not matter
which method you use.
4 Start WPS on both devices within two minutes (for example, by clicking Start or Apply).
Use the configuration utility to activate WPS, not the push-button on the device
itself. Also, you cannot press the WPS button on one device and use the PIN
on another device to connect the two devices.
5 On a computer connected to the wireless client, try logging into the P-330W's web
configurator. If you can connect, WPS was successful.
If you cannot connect, check the list of associated wireless clients in the AP's
configuration utility. If you see the wireless client in the list, WPS was successful.
If you cannot connect using WPS, check both devices' configuration interfaces
to ensure WPS is enabled on both devices. If that doesn't work, check you are
using the correct PIN.
