2.1.3 Before You Begin
• Make sure that you have already familiarized yourself with the NWD-270N’s features and
hardware, as described in
.
• You should have valid login information for an existing network Access Point, otherwise
you may not be able to make a network connection right away.
2.2 Connecting to an AP using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
This section gives you an example of how to set up your wireless network using WPS. This
example uses the NWD-270N as the wireless client, and ZyXEL’s NBG334W as the Access
Point (AP).
"
The Access Point must be a WPS-aware device.
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you both.
• Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing
a button. See
.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 NWD-270N’s interface. See
. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the
other.
2.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1 Make sure that your access point is turned on and that it is within range of the computer
with the NWD-270N installed.
2 Make sure that you have installed the NWD-270N’s driver and utility on your computer.
3 In the NWD-270N’s utility, click the Adapter tab, enable WPS and select PBC (Push
Button Configuration). In the screen that appears, click Start.
4 Log into the AP’s web configurator and locate its WPS settings section. On the
NBG334W, press the Push Button button in the Network > Wireless Client > WPS
Station screen.
"
It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second
button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The AP sends the proper configuration settings to the NWD-270N. This may take up to two
minutes. Then the NWD-270N is able to communicate with the AP securely.
