Figure 94 How WPS Works
The roles of registrar and enrollee last only as long as the WPS setup process is active (2 minutes). The
next time you use WPS, a different device can be the registrar if necessary.
The WPS connection process is like a handshake; only two devices participate in each WPS transaction.
If you want to add more devices you should repeat the process with one of the existing networked
devices and the new device.
Note that the access point (AP) is not always the registrar, and the WiFi client is not always the enrollee.
All WPS-certified APs can be a registrar, and so can some WPS-enabled WiFi clients.
By default, a WPS device is ‘un-configured’. This means that it is not part of an existing network and can
act as either enrollee or registrar (if it supports both functions). If the registrar is un-configured, the
security settings it transmits to the enrollee are randomly-generated. Once a WPS-enabled device has
connected to another device using WPS, it becomes ‘configured’. A configured WiFi client can still act
as enrollee or registrar in subsequent WPS connections, but a configured access point can no longer act
as enrollee. It will be the registrar in all subsequent WPS connections in which it is involved. If you want a
configured AP to act as an enrollee, you must reset it to its factory defaults.
8.10.7.4 Example WPS Network Setup
This section shows how security settings are distributed in a sample WPS setup.
The following figure shows a sample network. In step 1, both AP1 and Client 1 are un-configured. When
WPS is activated on both, they perform the handshake. In this example, AP1 is the registrar, and Client 1
is the enrollee. The registrar randomly generates the security information to set up the network, since it is
un-configured and has no existing information.
