Exclusive Operation of WPS Transactions
Any one VAP on the WAP device can be enabled for WPS. At most, one WPS
transaction (for example, enrollment and association of an 802.11 client) can be in
progress at a time on the WAP device. The WAP device administrator can
terminate the transaction in progress from the web-based configuration utility. The
configuration of the VAP, however, should not be changed during the transaction;
nor should the VAP be changed during the authentication process. This restriction
is recommended but not enforced on the WAP device.
Backward Compatibility with WPS Version 1.0
Although WAP devices support WPS version 2.0, the WAP device interoperates
with enrollees and registrars that are certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance to conform to
version 1.0 of the WPS protocol.
Configuring WPS Settings
You can use the WPS Setup page to enable the WAP device as a WPS-capable
device and configure basic settings. When you are ready to use the feature to
enroll a new device or add the WAP device to a WPS-enabled network, use the
WPS Process page.
CAUTION For security reasons, it is recommended, but not required, that you use an HTTPS
connection to the web-based configuration utility when configuring WPS.
To configure the WAP device as a WPS-capable device:
STEP 1 Select Wireless > WPS Setup in the navigation pane.
The WPS Setup page shows global parameters and status, and parameters and
status of the WPS instance. An instance is an implementation of WPS that is
associated with a VAP on the network. The WAP device supports one instance
only.
STEP 2 Configure the global parameters:
• Supported WPS Version—The WPS protocol version that the WAP device
supports.
