Setup
The Setup tab contains one screen, the Setup screen. The Setup screen contains basic information for the Bridge.
Host Name This is the host name assigned to the Bridge. This host name will be published to your DNS server if the Bridge is configured to acquire its IP address through DHCP. In that case, Linksys recommends following company policy for host name assignment. The default name is Linksys.
Device Name You may assign any device name to the Bridge. This name is used only by the Bridge administrator for identification purposes. Unique, memorable names are helpful. The default name is WET200.
Advanced Configuration
Contact Enter the name of the administrator responsible for the system.
Location This field is used for entering a description of where the Bridge is located, such as 3rd floor.
IP Address Type Select how the WET200 will obtain its IP address, either Static IP Address (default) or Automatic
•• Automatic
NOTE: If the DHCP server is not connected to the Bridge ports but will be accessed via the wireless interface, you must first create a wireless connection before attempting to enable DHCP on the WET200. Otherwise, the device will not be able to obtain an IP address and the web- based utility will be inaccessible. For detailed information on creating a wireless connection, see the “Wireless > Basic settings” section.
•• Static IP Address To assign a static IP address to the Bridge, select this option and fill in the IP Settings fields. You should make sure that this IP address does not conflict with the IP addresses of any other devices on the network.
