■
PIN: The Mini Broadband Router, along with other WPS devices,
such as notebook PCs, cameras, or phones, all come with their own
eight-digit PIN code. When one device, the WPS enrollee, sends a
PIN code to the Mini Broadband Router, it becomes the WPS
registrar. After configuring PIN-Code information you must press
“Apply” to send the beacon, after which you have up to two minutes
to activate WPS on devices that need to join the network.
■
PBC: This has the same effect as pressing the physical WPS button
that is located on the front of the Mini Broadband Router. After
checking this option and clicking “Apply” you have up to two
minutes to activate WPS on devices that need to join the network.
