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.
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
Configuration-DHCP.
Automatic Configuration-DHCP • The WET200 will
obtain its IP address automatically from a DHCP server.
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.
IP Settings If you set the IP Address Type field to Static IP
Address, complete the following fields.
Local IP Address • Enter the IP address of the Bridge
(default 192.168.1.226) into this field.
Subnet Mask • Enter the subnet mask into this field.
Default Gateway • IP address of the gateway router
(default 0.0.0.0) on the current IP subnet, used to
reach other IP networks.
Primary DNS Server • Enter the IP address of the DNS
server (default 0.0.0.0) into the field.
