(PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS)-enabled access
point (or wireless router) respectively.
The Personal Identification Number (PIN) method helps you
connect your machine to a wireless network by entering the
supplied PIN information on a Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS)-
enabled access point (or wireless router).
Factory default in your machine is PBC mode, which is
recommended for a typical wireless network environment.
