Configuring the Bridge for Ad-Hoc Mode You may use this bridge in a wireless-only network where the wireless devices are all set to AdHoc mode. By default, the bridge is set to Infrastructure mode; therefore, you'll need to change the Network Type on the Wireless Settings page. Note: In an Ad-Hoc network, all devices must have the same SSID, WEP settings, and IP network subset address with a unique identifying number (xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy). 1. Start your browser software. 2. Type http:// followed by the IP address for the bridge as the web address and press Enter (or Return). Note: The default value is 192.168.0.201. If you've set the bridge to use DHCP, check the router table to find out what the current address is for the bridge. 3. Type admin as the User ID and type the current password. (password is the default.) 4. Click OK. You'll see the Status page. 5. Click Wireless Settings. 6. If you are setting up the Ad-Hoc network, type a SSID for the network in the SSID (Service Set Identifier) box. OR If the Ad-Hoc network already exists, select the correct SSID in the SSID (Existing network) list. Note: You may also select the SSID on the Wireless Network Available page. 7. Select Ad-Hoc as the Network Type. 8. Select the correct channel/frequency for the Ad-Hoc network. 9. Click Apply. 10. If you are through making changes, click Logout. 16
