Ralink STA as an Enrollee or external Registrar supports the configuration setup using PIN configuration method or PBC 43 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. Rescan: Issue a rescan command to wireless NIC to update information on surrounding wireless network. Information: Display the information about WPS IE on the selected network. List Information includes Authentication Type, Encryption Type, Config Methods, Device Password ID, Selected Registrar, State, Version, AP Setup Locked, UUID-E and RF Bands. PIN Code: 8-digit numbers. It is required to enter PIN Code into Registrar using PIN method. Each NIC Wireless has only one PIN Code of Enrollee. Config Mode: Our station role-playing as an Enrollee or an external Registrar. WPS Profile List: Display all of credentials got from the Registrar. List information includes SSID, MAC address, Authentication and Encryption Type. If STA Enrollee, credentials are created as soon as each WPS success. If STA Registrar, RaUI creates a new credential with WPA2-PSK/AES/64Hex-Key and doesn’t change until next switching to STA Registrar. Control items on WPS Profile List: Î Detail: Information about Security and Key in the credential Î Connect: Command to connect to the selected network inside credentials. The active selected credential is as like as the active selected Profile. Î Rotate: Command to rotate to connect to the next inside credentials Î Disconnect: Stop WPS action and disconnect this active link. And then select the last 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. Ϫʳ When 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. WPS associate IE: Send the association request with WPS IE during WPS setup. It is optional for STA. WPS probe IE: Send the probe request with WPS IE during WPS setup. IT is optional for STA.
