WPS Setup

Cisco Small Business WAP121 and WAP321 Wireless-N Access Point with PoE

101

manually configures the device with the SSID, public shared key, and 
cryptography modes of the WPS-enabled WAP device. The device joins 
the network.

The PIN is either an eight-digit number that uses its last digit as a checksum value, 
or a four-digit number with no checksum. Each of these numbers may contain 
leading zeroes.

The WPS standard assigns specific roles to the various components in its 
architecture: 

•

Enrollee—A device that can join the wireless network.

•

AP—A device that provides wireless access to the network.

•

Registrar—An entity that issues security credentials to enrollees and 
configures APs. 

The WAP devices act as AP devices and support a built-in registrar. They do not 
function as an enrollee.

The administrator can enable or disable WPS on only one VAP. WPS is operational 
only if this VAP meets these conditions:

•

The WAP device is configured to broadcast the VAP SSID.

•

MAC address filtering is disabled on the VAP.

•

WEP encryption is disabled on the VAP.

•

The VAP is configured to use either WPA-Personal security or none. If 
WPA2-PSK encryption mode is enabled, then a valid pre-shared key (PSK) 
must be configured and CCMP (AES) encryption must be enabled.

•

The VAP is operationally enabled.

WPS is operationally disabled on the VAP if any of these conditions are not met. 

Disabling WPS on a VAP does not cause disassociation of any clients previously 
authenticated through WPS on that VAP.
