Configure Wireless Security Using Wps; Wps - Push Button Technology - Conceptronic C300APRA2 Guía De Instalación Rápida

6. Configure wireless security using WPS

The Conceptronic C300APRA2 supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). WPS is a standard for easy and secure
establishment of a wireless network. With WPS you can setup and protect your wireless network in just a
few easy steps.
Note: To use WPS with the C300APRA2, you need to have wireless clients which support WPS. If you
have one or more wireless clients without WPS support, it is advised to secure your network
manually as explained in Chapter 7.

The C300APRA2 supports two ways to activate and establish a WPS connection:
- Push Button technology
- Pin Code technology
6.1 WPS – Push Button technology
The WPS Push Button technology requires a (virtual) button on your wireless client to establish a
connection between the C300APRA2 and your wireless client.
Some wireless clients work with a real button to activate the WPS Push Button technology; some wireless
clients use a software-based virtual button.
Follow the steps below to activate and establish a WPS connection with the Push Button technology:
A. Press the WPS button on the front of the C300APRA2 until the WPS LED blinks.
B. Press the WPS button on your wireless client. This can be either a hardware button or a virtual
button in the software of your wireless client.
The C300APRA2 will activate WPA security in your wireless network and accept the wireless connection of
your wireless WPS client.
Note: The C300APRA2 will keep the WPS authentication active for 120 seconds. If there is no connection
within these 120 seconds, the WPS authentication process will be stopped.
If the WPS feature has not been used before, the wireless network will still be unencrypted.
If the authentication of the wireless client has succeeded, the WPS LED will burn steady blue for 5
seconds. After these 5 seconds, the LED will turn off.
Your wireless client is now connected to the C300APRA2 and your network is secured with WPA
encryption.
You can add more wireless WPS clients without losing the connection to previous wireless WPS clients.
If you want to add more wireless clients using the WPS Push Button technology, repeat steps A and B.
Note: The WPA key generated by the C300APRA2 is random.
