• WPS Device Name—Provides a default device name. You can assign a
different name from 1 to 32 characters, including spaces and special
characters.
• WPS Global Operational Status—Whether the WPS operational status is
Up or Down on the WAP device.
• WPS Device PIN—A system-generated eight-digit WPS PIN for the WAP
device. The administrator may use this generated PIN to register the WAP
device with an external registrar.
You can click Generate to generate a new PIN. Generating a new pin is
advisable if network integrity has been compromised.
STEP 3 Configure the WPS instance parameters:
• WPS Instance ID—An identifier for the instance. As there is only one
instance, the only option is wps1.
• WPS Mode—Enables or disables the instance.
• WPS Radio—The radio to which this WPS instance applies (WAP561
devices only).
• WPS VAP—The VAP associated with this WPS instance.
• WPS Built-in Registrar—Enables the built-in registrar function. When
enabled, enrollees (typically WLAN clients) can register with the WAP
device. When disabled, the registrar functionality in the WAP device is
turned off and the enrollee needs to register with another registrar on the
network. In this case, another device on the network acts as the registrar and
the WAP device serves as a proxy for forwarding client registration requests
and the responses of the registrar.
• WPS Configuration State—Specifies if the VAP will be configured from the
external registrar as a part of WPS process. It can be set to one of these
values:
- Unconfigured—VAP settings are configured using WPS, after which the
state will be change to Configured.
- Configured—VAP settings are not configured by the external registrar
and will retain the existing configuration.
STEP 4 Click Save. The changes are saved to the Startup Configuration.
