Preparing To Configure the WGE101

Bridge

If the default settings don’t work in your wireless network, if you are in a country or region

other than the United States, or if you have multiple WGE101 bridges on the network, you

need to configure the bridge.

Identifying Your Wireless Network Settings

You may want to print this page separately, fill in the configuration parameters, and put it in a

safe place for possible future reference. For an existing wireless network, the person who set up

the network will be able to provide this information.

Note: For wireless devices and the bridge to communicate with each other, each must be

configured with the same SSID, WEP security settings, and the same IP subset address.

• Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the

wireless local area network. Any is the default WGE101 SSID. If you have named your

wireless network with a different SSID, write your network’s SSID on the line below.

Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________

• Bridge IP Address: Your Ethernet network has an IP subset address given as a set of three

numbers plus a last set of unique numbers (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy) to identify each device on the

network. The default IP address for the bridge is 192.168.0.201. To communicate to your

Ethernet network, each bridge must have a unique address consistent with your network’s IP

subset address. If you need to change the bridge’s IP address, write down the new address.

Bridge’s IP address: ______________________________

• WEP Security Encryption key: The default WEP encryption mode of the bridge is

disabled. If you have set up WEP security on your wireless network (through the router or

access point), you’ll need to configure the bridge using the same WEP security parameters.

WEP Encryption Key Length, circle one: 40/64 or 128 bits

WEP Encryption Passphrase, if used: ___________________

A passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key.

Otherwise, you will have to manually enter up to four hexadecimal numbers.

WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________
