StartWPS method

Initiates a connection using Wifi Protected Setup (WPS). An existing connection will be disconnected before attempting to initiate a new connection. Failure in WPS pairing will trigger an error event.

If the method parameter is set to SERIALIZED_PIN, then RDK retrieves the serialized pin using the Manufacturer (MFR) API. If the method parameter is set to PIN, then RDK use the pin supplied as part of the request. If the method parameter is set to PBC, then RDK uses Push Button Configuration (PBC) to obtain the pin.
