7.3.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
The push button configuration function found in the interface is only available in AP mode. The WPS
button, see Section 1.3 on page 10, can also be used for PBC configurations in either AP or
Repeater mode.
1 Make sure that your WRE6505 v2 is turned on and that it is connected to your network.
2 Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility.
3 In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (Start or
WPS button).
4 Log into WRE6505 v2’s Web Configurator. Make sure WPS is enabled in the Network > Wireless
LAN > WPS screen.
5 Navigate to Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G or Wireless LAN 5G > WPS Device and press the
WPS button.
Note: Your WRE6505 v2 has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button
in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can
use one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The WRE6505 v2 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to
two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the WRE6505 v2 securely.
The following figure shows you how to set up wireless network and security by pressing a button on
both WRE6505 v2 and wireless client (the NWD-211AN in this example).
