Enabling WEP Security on the Bridge

To prevent others from accessing your wireless network, you may want to enable WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy) security in your wireless router or access point. If you do so, you’ll need to

enable WEP security in the bridge, too. If you filled in the parameters on page 5, you may

want to refer to them for this procedure.

Note: The default security setting has WEP security disabled.

Bridge>Smart Navigator from the Start menu.

2. Select the bridge in the device list.

3. Click Connection Settings.

4. To enable WEP security click the Use WEP

Encryption check box.

Create with Passphrase, type the phrase in the

Passphrase box, and select a key length of 64 bits

or 128 bits.

If you entered specific keys for your wireless

router or access point, select Enter Key

Manually, select a Key number, type the

hexadecimal value for that key, and select a key

length of 64 bits or 128 bits.
