The Instance Status area shows the following information about the selected WPS
instance:
•WPS Operational Status—Whether or not the WPS instance is operational.
•AP Lockdown Status—Whether the AP is in lockdown mode, in which
external registrars are blocked from registering with the AP. When in
lockdown status, this field reports the start time of the lockdown, whether it
is temporary or permanent, and if temporary, the duration of the lockdown
period. When not in lockdown mode, the status appears as Disabled.
•Failed Attempts with Invalid PIN—The number of times an external
registrar has tried and failed to register with the WAP device.
When in lockdown status, the following fields appear:
•AP Lockdown Duration—The duration in minutes for which the WAP is

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.
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.
NOTE Apart from WPS-compliant eight-digit device PIN (which may contain leading
zeroes), “stop” can also be entered in the PIN Enrollment box to stop the enrollment.
