1.2.6 Button Definition
There is one multi-function push button WEC/Reset in this device. According to different button pressed duration, the device will take specific reaction. For ease of interacting with the device, you can also check the Status and WiFi LED to determine when to release the button. The Reset/WEC buttons behavior is defined below:
Function Button Description
There are two alternative AP modes defined for the device to operate with WEC (Wireless Easy Connection) feature. One is Master Mode (by default), and the other is Slave Mode. Please manually configure the Wireless Setting for the Master AP through web UI first, and also prepare a Slave AP that already been set to Slave Mode. Press the WEC/Reset button of the Master AP for 1~3 seconds, release it to trigger the WEC process. Then, WiFi Green LED flashes fast. Press the WEC/Reset button of the Slave AP for 1~3
seconds, release it to trigger the WEC process. Then, Easy Configuration (Master to Slave)
WEC/Reset (Press 3 sec)
WiFi Amber LED flashes fast.
Note: The Slave AP must be an un-configured one, if it
has already been paired and configured before, please
reset its Slave configuration first.
After a few seconds (normally about 30~60 seconds).
The Master and Slave APs can be paired automatically,
and auto-duplicates the VAP1 wireless setting of the
Master AP as that of the Slave AP.
(If there is something wrong during paring the two
devices, the process will be finished in 2 minutes.)
Once the easy configuration process completed, the
Status LED will be recovered to its original behavior
(prior to you triggered it). And the WiFi LED will be
Solid when Slave AP is connected to the network.
DG-WM2005SI User Manual
Besides the above Master to Slave configuration,
the easy configuration process also supports Slave to
Slave configuration.
Press the WEC/Reset button of the first Slave AP (say
Slave1 that has been paired and configured) for 1~3
seconds, release it to trigger the WEC process. Then, the
WiFi LED flashes fast.
Press the WEC/Reset button of the second Slave AP
(say Slave2 that is an un-configured Slave AP) for 1~3 Easy Configuration (Slave to Slave)
WEC/Reset (Press 3 sec)
seconds, release it to trigger the WEC process. Then, the
WiFi LED flashes fast.
After a few seconds (normally about 30~60 seconds).
The Slave1 and Slave2 APs can be paired automatically,
and auto-duplicates the wireless setting of the Slave1 as
that of the Slave2.
(If there is something wrong during paring the two
devices, the process will be finished in 2 minutes.)
Once the easy configuration process completed, the
Status LED will be recovered to its original behavior
(prior to you triggered it).
AP Mode Toggling
There are two alternative AP modes defined for the

2.2 Use WEC Button to Setup Wireless Profiles
WEC (Wireless Easy Connection) is an easy configuration feature that is similar to well-known WPS function. It can be used to duplicate one devices wireless configuration to the other AP devices from the same manufacture by clicking one button for both devices.
There are two alternative AP modes defined for the device to operate with WEC (Wireless Easy Connection) feature. One is the Master Mode (by default), and the other is the Slave Mode. Before starting to use WEC to configure your AP devices, you have to learn how to identify and set the device in the Master Mode, or the Slave Mode (As stated in Section 1.2.4 and 1.2.5).
