Getting to Know Your Gateway
Configuring Wireless Security
The front panel has a WPS button for configuring wireless security automatically. Pressing
this button for 5 seconds automatically configures wireless security. If the client device
supports WPS Push Button Configuration (PBC), press the button within 60 seconds to
automatically configure security on the client.
After pressing this button for 5 seconds, the
WPS LED on the front panel flashes. When a
client joins the network successfully, the LED goes ON until the next WPS action or the
device reboots. If no client joins, the LED stops blinking after 4 minutes.
Rear Panel
The rear panel of your SMCD3GN Wireless Cable Modem Gateway contains a reset button
and the ports for attaching the supplied power adapter and making additional connections.
