Publisher’s description

Microsoft Windows Connect Now technology enables simple and secure configuration of wireless networks and provisioning of wireless hardware. Windows Connect Now-NET (WCN-NET) is the Microsoft implementation of the Simple Configuration Protocol, a new standard in the Wi-Fi Alliance. WCN-NET supports configuration of devices on out-of-band Ethernet and in-band wireless networks. Windows Connect Now-NET in Microsoft Windows Vista communicates with access points and wireless stations by using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), authenticates with them by using a Personal Identification Number (PIN), and provides wireless settings that are based on user selection. This paper defines the WCN-NET implementation details for devices that connect with systems running the Windows Vista operating system.
