Other connections areeither open networks or connections
protected with aPSK, or Pre-Shared-Key.
WPS /PSK /open network connection
WPS allows simple and nevertheless protected connection
of the radio to the network. Twooptions areavailable for
this purpose:
The connection can be set up by means of PBC, or Push-
Button Conguration, or by the PIN procedure, in which
the web interface of your router prompts you to enter
arandomly generated sequence of numbers.

entered into the web or user interface of your router
or access point.

conguring the router or access point.
Skip WPS /Pre-Shared Key(PSK) conguration

Open network /unsecured network
Note
• We recommend against establishing unsecured
connections and advise you to always protect your
network against unauthorised access.

select the network from the list of available networks
and conrm. The radio then connects immediately with
the access point.
