Wireless-G Ethernet Bridge

The Password screen lets you change the Bridge’s Password and restore the fac-

tory default settings.

• Administrative Password - It is strongly recommended that you change

the factory default password of the Bridge, which is admin. All users who

try to access the Bridge’s Web-based Utility will be prompted for the

Bridge’s Password. The new Password must not exceed 12 characters in

length and must not include any spaces. Enter the new Password a second

time to confirm it.

• Restore Factory Defaults - Click the Ye s radio button to reset all configu-

ration settings to their default values. If you do not want to restore the fac-

tory defaults, then keep the default setting, No.

To save your changes, click the Apply button. Click the Cancel button to can-

cel your changes. Click the Help button for additional on-screen information.

Password

• Default Key - Select which WEP key (1-4) will be used when the Bridge

sends data. Make sure the other wireless-equipped devices are using the

same key.

• WEP Encryption - In order to use WEP encryption, select 64-Bit (10 hex

digits) or 128-Bit (26 hex digits) from the drop-down menu.

• Passphrase - Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a

Passphrase. This Passphrase is used to generate one or more WEP keys. It

is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters.

(The Passphrase function is compatible with Linksys wireless products

only. If you want to communicate with non-Linksys wireless products, you

will need to enter your WEP key(s) manually on the non-Linksys wireless

products.) After you enter the Passphrase, click the Generate button to cre-

ate WEP key(s).

• Keys 1-4 - If you are not using a Passphrase, then you can enter one or more

WEP keys manually.

In each key field, manually enter a set of values. (Do not leave a key field

blank, and do not enter all zeroes. These are not valid key values.) If you are

using 64-bit WEP encryption, then each key must consist of exactly 10

hexadecimal characters in length. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption,

then each key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters in length.

Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.
