Wireless-B Media Adapter

Channel - Enter the channel setting of your wireless network ONLY if your network uses ad-hoc mode.

WEP Encryption - If your network uses 64-bit encryption, then select 64 bits, and press the Select button. If your network uses 128-bit encryption, then select 128 bits, and press the Select button. If your network’s WEP encryption is disabled, then select Disabled, and press the Select button.

Passphrase - If your network uses WEP encryption, you can enter a Passphrase instead of manually entering a WEP key. Then click the on-screen Enter key, and a WEP key will then be automatically generated. The Passphrase is case-sensitive and should have 16 alphanumeric characters or fewer. It must match the passphrase of your wireless network and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only.

WEP Key - If you want to manually enter a WEP key, enter it in this field, and then click the on-screen Enter key. For 64-bit WEP, the key includes exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit WEP, the key includes exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal characters are “0”-“9” and “A”-“F”.

Authentication Type - This setting allows the Adapter to authenticate communication with the wireless devices in your network. If you select the Open System setting, any device can join a network without performing any security check. If you select the Shared Key setting, all wireless devices must have the same WEP keys so that the Adapter and host computer can authenticate each other and start transmitting data. After making your selection, press the Select button. If you are unsure about which setting to use, keep the default setting, Open System.

4.When finished, press the Setup button on the remote. The Adapter will save the settings and restart itself.

SSID: your wireless network’s name.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): a method of encrypting data transmitted on a wireless network for greater security.

Passphrase: used much like a password, a passphrase simplifies the WEP encryption process by automatically generating the WEP encryption for Linksys products.
