Linksys WET54G

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-

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”.
