SBR-AC1200P: WPS Pin Entry Setup

The SBR-AC1200P supports two types of WPS: PIN Entry and PBC (Push Button Connection).  There are two methods to establish connection using WPS PIN Entry:

• Adding the SBR-AC1200P's generated WPS PIN into the WPS client  
• Adding a WPS client's pin into the SBR-AC1200P

This document describes the two methods to establish a connection using WPS PIN Entry.
