12.7.1 Connecting to a Wireless Network Using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. The following
example uses the WAP6806 as the AP and NWD-211AN as the wireless client which connects to a
notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
or PCI card).
The following WPS methods for creating a secure connection are described in the tutorial.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See Section 12.7.1.1 on page 70.This is the easier method.
• PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the WAP6806’s interface. See Section 12.7.1.2 on page 71.
This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
12.7.1.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
The push button configuration function found in the interface is only available in AP mode. The WPS
button, see Section 1.4 on page 12, can also be used for PBC configurations in either AP or
Repeater mode.

your network.
2 Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility.
