WPS Process
You can use the WPS Process page to use WPA to enroll a client station on the
network. You can enroll a client using a pin or using the push button method, if
supported on the client station.

Enrolling a Client Using the PIN Method

To enroll a client station using the PIN method:
STEP 1 Obtain the PIN from the client device. The PIN may be printed on the hardware
itself, or may be obtained from the software interface of the device.
STEP 2 Select Wireless > WPS Process in the navigation pane.
STEP 3 Enter the PIN of the client in the PIN Enrollment text box and click Start.
STEP 4 Within two minutes, enter the WAP pin on the software interface of the client
device. The WAP pin is configured on the WPS Setup page.
