2.2 Use WEC Button to Setup Wireless Profiles
WEC Button is Wireless Easy Connection. There are 2 purposes for this Button.
One is to switch AP into Master or Slave Mode.
However, Main purpose of Slave AP is to get Wireless profile of Master AP to extend
connective distance w/o login configured Web.
Access Point is in Master Mode
Generally speaking, the settings of Master AP can work in your Network environment.
When System is ready: (without click button.) Status LED in Solid : In Master Mode
※Device Network IP Address depend as current Settings.
Access Point is in Slave Mode
New deployed or reset-to-default Access points have to configure Wireless setting so
that can work current network environment.
When System is ready: (without click button.) Status LED in Flash: In Slave Mode
※Device Network IP Address is DHCP Client in Slave Mode.
Please check if DHCP Server exists in your Network Environment.
If Not, please change to Master Mode after getting Wireless Profiles, it will be Default IP
“Static IP”.(Due to New deployed or reset-to-default Access point.)

WPA-6101 300Mbps Wireless Ceiling Gigabit PoE Access Point
Configure Slave AP via WEC Button
Step 1
Check WiFi LED of Access Point which acts as Master Mode.
(Press Reset/WEC button 5~10 sec then release Button to change Mode .When System
is ready Status LED in Solid : It is in Master Mode)
Step 2
Check WiFi LED of Access Point which acts as Slave Mode.
(Press Reset/WEC button 5~10 sec then release Button to change Mode .When System
is ready Status LED in Flash : It is in Slave Mode)
Step 3
Click WEC Button (about 1second) of master AP and any slave AP as one pair
simultaneously
Step 4
WiFi LED of Master and Slave AP will flash and Negotiate WiFi Profile Configuration. This
Process will finish within 20~30 sec.
Then Check WiFi LED:
LED in Slow flash: Wireless Connection doesn't establish.
LED in Solid : Wireless Connection established successfully.
※If Negotiation failed or Master or Slave AP don’t existed, WiFi LED will Flash 2 min.
Please try again.
※WEC Application bases on WiFi WPS Technology and only supports to use
“AES”encryption to negotiate, currently. Please notify before configuring AP in
Master Mode.
