or external Registrar supports the configuration setup using PIN configuration method or PBC
44
configuration setup using PIN configuration method or PBC configuration method through an
internal or external Registrar.
WPS AP List: Display the information of surrounding APs with WPS IE from last scan result.
List information includes SSID, BSSID, Channel, ID (Device Password ID), Security-Enabled.

profile at the Profile Page of RaUI if exist. If there is an empty profile page, the driver will
select any non-security AP.
Î Delete: Delete an existing credential. And then select the next credential if exist. If
there is an empty credential, the driver will select any non-security AP.
PIN: Start to add to Registrar using PIN configuration method. IF STA Registrar, remember
that enter PIN Code read from you Enrollee before starting PIN.
PBC: Start to add to AP using PBC configuration method.
ϪʳWhen you click PIN or PBC, please don’t do any rescan within two-minute
connection. If you want to abort this setup within the interval, restart PIN/PBC or
press Disconnect to stop WPS connection.
