[. . . ] Gateway IP Adress: Enter the IP address of your network's gateway (also known as router). This field lets you type in the network name (SSID) you want this Bridge to connect to. For instance, if the name (SSID) of the wireless network that you will be connecting to is "belkin54g", enter "belkin54g" in the SSID field. The default SSID of "ANY" will connect your Bridge to the closest network automatically. You can also click the Site Survey button to see available networks around you. Mode · Infrastructure - When this option is selected, the Bridge will attempt to connect to an available network (access point) in the area. · Ad-Hoc (Computer-to-Computer) - When this option is selected, the Bridge will attempt to connect to an available computer or device in the area that's also using (Ad-Hoc). Access points will be excluded from the list of available networks when this option is selected. Channel: If you chose to connect in Ad-Hoc mode, you will need to specify the channel number. WEP Encryption: From the Encryption drop-down menu, select "none", "64-bit", or "128-bit" according to your wireless network's setting. Select "none" if you have not configured your wireless network to use encryption. Using encryption will make your network more secure, but will slow down the network performance. Although network performance will be reduced, it is likely the change will not be detectable to users of the network. Authentication Mode: This setting allows the Bridge to authenticate communication with the wireless devices in your network. With "Shared only" mode, all wireless devices must have the same WEP keys so that all wireless devices can authenticate each other and start transmitting data. The default "Open + Shared" setting will automatically detect whether a wireless device is set to "Open" or "Shared Key" and transmit data using the appropriate authentication type. You will need to select "Shared only" mode if your wireless network is also set to "Shared only" mode. 17 CONNECTING THE BRIDGE USING THE WEB-BASED INTERFACE k. Key ID: Select the network key (1-4) that will be used to authenticate. Network Key: Enter a network key only if you have encryption enabled in your wireless network. Type your WEP key in the Network Key box using passphrase or hex key format. · Passphrase - For 64-bit encryption, your key lengths will be five characters (ASCII text). For 128-bit encryption, your key length will be 13 characters (ASCII text). [. . . ] Nevertheless, the device shall be used in such manner that the potential for human contact normal operation is minimized. When connecting an external antenna to the device, the antenna shall be placed in such a manner to minimize the potential for human contact during normal operation. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation. Federal Communications Commission Notice This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. [. . . ]
