WEP

WEP

- To use WEP encryption, select 64-bits or 128-bit characters from the drop-down menu, and enter a

passphrase or key.

WEP Key

- The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. If you are using 64-bit

WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit

WEP encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters. Valid hexadecimal

characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.

Passphrase

- Instead of manually entering a WEP key, you can enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so

a WEP key is automatically generated. This case-sensitive passphrase must match the passphrase of your

other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If you have any non-

Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.)

TX Key

- The default transmit key number is 1. If your network’s access point or wireless router uses transmit

key number 2, 3, or 4, select the appropriate number from the

TX Key

drop-down box.

Authentication

Auto

Shared Key

or

Open

Shared

Key is when both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for authentication. Open key is when the

sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for authentication. All points on your network must use the

same authentication type.

Overview

This chapter explains how to connect the Bridge to your home entertainment center’s audio receiver or to

portable audio speakers. Before starting this chapter, make sure that you have set up and connected the Bridge

to your PC, as explained in Chapter 3: Setting up the Wireless-G Music Bridge.

Connecting to Portable Audio Speakers

To connect the Music Bridge to portable audio speakers, connect the speaker’s cable into the Line Out port on the

back of the Music Bridge. Connect the power adapter to the Bridge and electrical outlet, if it is not connected.

Chapter 4: Connecting the Wireless-G Music Bridge

Connecting to your Audio Receiver

Wireless-G Music Bridge

Connecting to your Audio Receiver

Three connection methods are shown. One uses the standard audio cables supplied with your Wireless-G Music

Bridge. The other two methods use digital cables. If you have a digital surround sound system, you will want to

use optical digital or digital coaxial cables for better sound quality.

Using Standard Audio RCA Cables

This method uses the supplied analog RCA audio cables. Connect the cable’s left and right connectors from the

Wireless-G Music Bridge’s left and right Audio Out to the audio receiver’s left and right Audio In. Connect the

power adapter to the Bridge and electrical outlet, if it is not connected.
