To set up a WPS-enabled device in the network:
STEP 1 Choose Wireless > WPS.
STEP 2 Choose the WPS setup method:
• Setup Using a PIN—In the WPS Setup Method section, in the Station PIN
field, enter the personal identification number (PIN) of the device you want
to connect to the network. You must log in to that device to obtain its WPS
PIN. Then click Configure via PIN. After clicking this button on the Cisco
RV120W, on the WPS-enabled device, select the necessary option to begin
WPS. The device should begin communication with the Cisco RV120W.
• Setup Using a WPS Button—If the device you want to connect has a WPS
button, push the button on the device. Then, on the Cisco RV120W, click
Configure via PBC (push button configuration).
Configuring a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
A Wireless Distribution System (WDS) is a system that enables the wireless
interconnection of access points in a network. It allows a wireless network to be
expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to
link them.
WDS peers are other access points in the network connected in the WDS. All
base stations in a WDS must be configured to use the same radio channel, method
of encryption (none, WEP, or WPA) and encryption keys.
To configure a WDS:
STEP 1 Choose Wireless > WDS.
STEP 2 Check the Enable box to enable WDS in the Cisco RV120W.
STEP 3 Enter a WPA Key (password) for authentication.
STEP 4 Click Save.
