5.3.9 WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple way to establish connections between WPS compatible devices.
WPS can be activated on compatible devices by pushing a WPS button on the device or from within the device’s
firmware/configuration interface (known as PBC or “Push Button Configuration”).
When WPS is activated in the correct manner and at the correct time for two compatible devices, they will
automatically connect. “PIN code WPS” is a variation of PBC which includes the additional use of a PIN code
between the two devices for verification.
