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
Lnksys
.
Devce 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
WET00
.

Enter the name of the administrator responsible
for the system.
Locaton
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
Statc IP Address
(default) or
Automatc
Confguraton-DHCP
.
Automatc Confguraton-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.
Statc IP Address
To assign a static IP address to
the Bridge, select this option and fill in the
IP Settings
