All information related to WPS will be displayed here. It's helpful when you're setting up
connections by WPS.
WPS Status: Displays WPS status. If this access point's data encryption settings have never been
set, an unConfigured message will be displayed here. (see Section 3.7 for detailed information).
If data encryption settings have been set before, a Configured message will be displayed here.
Self PinCode: This is the access point's WPS PIN code. Use it when you need to build wireless
connection by WPS with other WPS-enabled wireless devices.
SSID: Displays the access point's SSID (ESSID).
Authentication Mode: The access point's wireless security authentication mode will be dis-
played here. If you don't enable the access point's security function before WPS is activated,
the access point will auto set the security to WPA (AES) and generate a set of passphrase keys
for WPS connection.
Passphrase Key: Displays the WPA passphrase. All characters will be replaced by asterisks for
security. If encryption is not set on this access point, nothing will be displayed here.
There are Registrar and Enrollee modes for the WPS connection. When Registrar is enabled,
the wireless clients will follow the access point's wireless settings for WPS connection. When
Enrollee mode is enabled, the access point will follow the wireless settings of wireless client for
WPS connection.
