NOTE The registration process can also configure the WAP device as specified in the VAP
Configuration Changes section, if the WAP device has declared within the WPS-
specific IEs of its beacon frames or UPnP messages that it requires such
configuration.
The WAP device can serve as a proxy for up to three external registrars
simultaneously.
Any one VAP on the WAP device can be enabled for WPS. At most, one WPS
transaction (for example, enrollment and association of an 802.11 client) can be in
progress at a time on the WAP device. The WAP device administrator can
terminate the transaction in progress from the web-based AP configuration utility.
The configuration of the VAP, however, should not be changed during the
transaction; nor should the VAP be changed during the authentication process.
This restriction is recommended but not enforced on the WAP device.
Although WAP devices support WPS version 2.0, the WAP device interoperates
with enrollees and registrars that are certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance to conform to
version 1.0 of the WPS protocol.
You can use the WPS Setup page to enable the WAP device as a WPS-capable
device and configure basic settings. When you are ready to use the feature to
enroll a new device or add the WAP device to a WPS-enabled network, use the
WPS Process page.

connection to the web-based AP configuration utility when configuring WPS.

status of the WPS instance. An instance is an implementation of WPS that is
associated with a VAP on the network. The WAP device supports one instance
only.
STEP 2 Configure the global parameters:
• Supported WPS Version—The WPS protocol version that the WAP device
supports.
