Registering Clients via the Association Button

Proceed as follows to register new wireless network clients via the association button:

1Push the Registration button on the Thomson Gateway front panel and hold it for at least two seconds.

2The WLAN LED toggles between green and red.

3The Thomson Gateway unlocks the Access Control List for one minute. Wireless clients configured with the correct wireless settings that try to connect to the Thomson Gateway will be added to the list of allowed devices.

Some wireless clients do not automatically join a wireless network. If that is the case, follow the instructions for the wireless client software to initiate the association.

4Depending on your wireless client adapter, a wireless icon may become green or a message similar to the following may appear: “Successfully joined Wireless network Thomson123456”.

5After one minute, the Thomson Gateway locks the Access Control List again.

The registration procedure can be repeated as often as needed.
