This example uses the NBG5715 as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook. Wireless LAN 2.4G is used as the wireless mode in this example. Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter or PCI card). There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do both. • Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See Section 9.2.1 on page 57.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 NBG5715's interface.
