5.6.1 Wireless Network Overview
Wireless networks consist of wireless clients, access points and bridges.
• A wireless client is a radio connected to a user’s computer.
• An access point is a radio with a wired connection to a network, which can connect with numerous
wireless clients and let them access the network.
• A bridge is a radio that relays communications between access points and wireless clients, extending
a network’s range.
Traditionally, a wireless network operates in one of two ways.
• An “infrastructure” type of network has one or more access points and one or more wireless clients.
The wireless clients connect to the access points.
• An “ad-hoc” type of network is one in which there is no access point. Wireless clients connect to one
another in order to exchange information.
The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.
Select WPS
Method
•Select PBC to set up a WPS wireless network using Push Button Configuration (PBC).
If you select PBC, click Activate to add another WPS-enabled wireless device (within wireless
range of the LTE4506) to your wireless network. This button may either be a physical button on
the outside of device, or a menu button similar to the Connect button on this screen.
Note: You must press the other wireless device’s WPS button within two minutes of
pressing this button.
•Select PIN to set up a WPS wireless network by entering the PIN of the client into the LTE4506.
WPS PIN This field is available only when you set Select WPS Method to PIN.
Select this option and enter the PIN of the device that you are setting up a WPS connection with
and click Apply to authenticate and add the wireless device to your wireless network.
You can find the PIN either on the outside of the device, or by checking the device’s settings.
Note: You must also activate WPS on that device within two minutes to have it
present its PIN to the LTE4506.
