Example Connection to AP using WPS: PBC Method
5.3.2 Connecting to an AP with the WPS PIN Method
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both the configuration interface of
the AP and the WRE2206’s configuration interface.
1
Log into WRE2206’s Web Configurator and navigate to the
Network
>
Wireless LAN
>
WPS
Station
screen. Select
Enrollee
in
Config Mode
to get a PIN number.
2
Enter the PIN number in the WPS PIN field of the AP’s configuration interface.
3
Click the
Start PIN
button on the WRE2206 and the Start button (or the button next to the PIN
field) on the AP’s configuration interface within about one minute, then wait two minutes for the
WPS configuration to complete.
The AP authenticates the WRE2206 and sends the proper configuration settings to the WRE2206.
This may take up to two minutes. Then the WRE2206 is able to communicate with the AP securely.
The following figure shows an example of how to set up wireless network and security on the AP
and WRE2206 by using PIN method.
