Using the USB port

Instructions for setting up a printer on the PC

Once you have installed the printer port you still cannot start printing. The printer port

is nothing more than an additional interface on your PC, comparable with the USB port.

It means that any printer you install on this port is also regarded as a local printer even

though it is located in the network and possibly not directly near you.

You still need to connect the printer to this port and configure it.

ì

Connect the printer to the USB port on your Giga762SX WLAN dsl.

The printer is installed in the same way as any other printer:

ì

Go through

Start

–

Settings

–

Printers

and click

Add Printer

.

ì

In the window that opens click

ì

Proceed as instructed by the Add Printer Wizard. Please note:

In the window in which you are prompted to specify the location of the printer you

should select

Local printer

(usually the default setting).

ì

Then click

ì

Continue to install the printer. Select your printer and click

ì

When the window in which you are prompted to enter the type of connection

appears, double-click the port name

Gigaset_port

.

ì

Then continue to install the printer and finish the installation.

Note:

The printer server of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl does not work bi-directionally. It does

not evaluate any of the printer's response messages. For this reason please make sure

that your printer is also only configured uni-directionally.

Using the USB port

Using the data on a USB mass storage device

To view directories and files which are shared via the Giga762SX WLAN dsl file server on

the USB port within the Windows network, some parameters on your PC must be set cor-

rectly.

For most PCs these settings are already defined correctly on delivery, i.e. you usually do

not have to do anything. The following sections give some diagnosis information in case

problems do occur.

The following description is based on the Windows Vista operating system. The proce-

dure is similar for the other Windows systems. You will find a detailed description of the

network configuration for the different Windows systems on the CD-ROM delivered with

the device.

Checking network services

The following services/protocols must be activated for the network connection used:

u

Internet protocol (TCP/IP)

u

File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft networks

You can check it via the

Properties

of the network connection.

ì
