WAP6806 User’s Guide

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 

.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 

. 

This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

The push button configuration function found in the interface is only available in AP mode. The WPS 
button, see 

, can also be used for PBC configurations in either AP or 

Repeater mode.

your network. 

Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. 

In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (Start or
