Network Setup

This section determines if the Bridge's IP address is
obtained automatically from a DHCP server, such as your
network router (Automatic Configuration - DHCP), or set
manually (Static IP).
Bridge IP If your network has a DHCP server, such as your
network router, assigning IP addresses to your network
devices, then keep the default, Automatic Configuration
- DHCP. The Bridge will request an IP address from the
DHCP server (usually the network router). If no DHCP
server is found, then the Bridge will use its default static
IP address, 169.254.1.250, until it detects a DHCP server
and is assigned a dynamic IP address.
If you want to set a permanent static IP address for the
Bridge, then select Static IP.
If you select Static IP, then complete the following fields:
Static IP Address
Enter a unique IP address that will
•
be used to access the web-based utility.
Subnet Mask Enter the subnet mask of your wired
•
network.
Default Gateway
Enter the IP address of the default
•
gateway for your network (in most cases, this is your
router).

Setup and uses WPA or WPA2 security, then you can
use Wi-Fi Protected Setup to automatically connect the
Bridge.

Network Name (SSID) The SSID is the network name
shared among all points in a wireless network. The SSID
must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It
is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use
any characters on the keyboard). Make sure this setting
matches the setting on your wireless router or access
point. For added security, you should change the default
SSID (linksys) to a unique name.
Wireless Security
The Bridge supports the following wireless security
options: WPA Personal, WPA2 Personal, and WEP. WPA
(Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 are stronger security
methods than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). For more
information about wireless security, refer to Chapter
2: Wireless Security Checklist, page 2.
Security Mode
Select the security method for your wireless network. If
you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default,
Disabled.
NOTE: Remember that each device in your
wireless network MUST use the same security
method and passphrase/key, or else the wireless
devices will not be able to communicate with
each other.
