Instant Wireless® Series 5. The Network Setting screen (Figure 7-12) will appear. If your network has a DHCP server, click the radio button next to Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP). Click the Next button to continue, or click the Back button to return to the previous screen. If your network does not have a DHCP server, click the radio button next to Specify the IP address. Enter an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS appropriate for your network. Enter each address in this format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (the x's represent the numbers that make up each address). You must specify the IP Address and Subnet Mask on this screen. If you are unsure about the Default Gateway and DNS addresses, then leave these fields alone. IP Address - This IP Address must be unique to your network. Subnet Mask - The Adapter's Subnet Mask must be the same as your wired network's Subnet Mask. Default Gateway - Enter the IP address of your network's Gateway here. DNS - Enter the DNS addresses of your Ethernet (wired) network here. Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen. Wireless-B PCI Adapter 6. The Security Settings screen (Figure 7-13) will appear. Enable or disable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption for your wireless network. If you enable WEP, enter a Passphrase or WEP key. Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen. WEP (Disabled/64-bit WEP/128-bit WEP) - If you do not want to use WEP encryption, choose Disabled. To use WEP encryption (recommended to increase network security), select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP from the dropdown menu, and enter either a Passphrase or WEP key. Passphrase - Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter a Passphrase, so that a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must match the passphrase of your wireless network and is compatible with other Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any nonLinksys wireless products, enter the WEP key(s) manually on those products.) Key 1 - This WEP key must match the WEP key of your wireless network. If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are "0" to "9" and "A" to "F". Figure 7-12 26 Figure 7-13 27
