•Push Button Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See Section 5.2.1.1 on page 68.This is the easier method.

•PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the NBG-460N’s interface. See Section 5.2.1.2 on page 69. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.

5.2.1.1Push Button Configuration

1Make sure that your NBG-460N is turned on and that it is within range of your computer.

2Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and utility in your notebook.

3In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (Start or WPS button)

4Log into NBG-460N’s Web Configurator and press the Push Button button in the Network > Wireless Client > WPS Station screen.

Note: Your NBG-460N has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other.

Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one.

The NBG-460N sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the NBG-460N securely.
