Password - Cisco Linksys WET11 User Manual

Wireless-B Ethernet Bridge
• 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 create 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".

The Password screen, shown in Figure 7-5, lets you change the Bridge's Password and restore the factory default
settings.
• Administrative Password - It is strongly recommended that you change the Bridge's default password
(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 Yes radio button to reset all configuration settings to their default values.
If you do not want to restore the factory defaults, then keep the default setting, No.
