The Giga762SX WLAN dsl
WPS provides two possibilities for registration:
u
Via registration button
The access point (e.g. the Giga762SX WLAN dsl) has a registration button. The reg-
istration button is available either:
– as hardware: a specific button (labelled Scan) is provided on the device's back
panel.
– as software: registration can be started via the WPS Registration page of the
user interface.
In the description that follows, the term registration button refers to both the Scan
button and the corresponding function in the user interface.
Depending on your hardware version, WPS registration may only be possible via the
user interface.
Once the registration button has been activated, the device allows the registration
of a WLAN client (repeater or wireless network adapter) during a two-minute inter-
val.

Pushing the registration button
(Scan) or activating WPS regis-
tration via software
The first time this button is pressed, the device automatically creates a SSID and a
pre-shared key, if these had not been already set on delivery or has been configured
before manually. If a client activates WPS registration within the two-minute inter-
val, the security data is exchanged and a connection is established. Only one client
may synchronise during the two-minute interval. After the successful synchroniza-
tion the registration is closed.
The automatically or manually created security data is valid for all further WPS reg-
istration processes. If you change this security data again manually or after a factory
reset the clients have to be registered again.
u
Via Personal Identification Number (PIN)
The PIN offers improved security for registration. No other device (e.g. in an adjacent
room) can log in unnoticed. A PIN is used for registration which must be identical on
both devices. If a client logs in with this PIN, the security data is synchronised. Usu-
ally the th PIN of the access point is used. For security reasons a new PIN can be cre-
ated.
It is also possible to create the PIN on one of the clients.
