First steps
Connecting wireless to the PC
Wireless via WPS
If you are using WPS (see page 15), you can easily make a wireless connection to other
WLAN devices via the Scan (registration) button.
ì
Press the registration button (Scan) for at least two seconds on the device’s back
panel or activate the corresponding function in the user interface to start WPS reg-
istration (see page 87).
ì
During the two-minute interval, activate WPS registration of the wireless network
adapter on the PC. The client receives the security data for the Giga762SX WLAN dsl
(SSID and pre-shared key) and is thereby registered.
Only one client may register during an individual registration phase. If the device indi-
cates by means of the WLAN LED that more than one client has tried to register, there is
no client registerd. You can start WPS registration again after a short time.
If the LED indicates a successful WPS registration, the desired client, however, has no
connection the Giga762SX WLAN dsl and has not been registered successfully, an exter-
nal device may have connected to your WLAN. In this case, you should modify the WPA-
PSK key as quickly as possible (see page 88) or perform a factory reset (see page 26) and
perform WPS registration for the clients using a PIN (see page 87).
For additional WPS registration options see chapter "WPS Registration" on page 48.
For the wireless connection of additional PCs without WPS function see page 36.
Wireless without WPS
A wireless connection is made using a wireless network adapter that must be installed
in your PC. This can be an 802.11g or 802.11b-compatible wireless network adapter.
Owing to the superior range and the high data throughput, we recommend that you use
the Gigaset PC Card 54 or the Gigaset USB Adapter 54.
A wireless network is defined by assigning an identical SSID to all the devices.
ì
You should therefore enter the SSID for the Giga762SX WLAN dsl in your network
adapter configuration. The default SSID for the Giga762SX WLAN
dsl is shown at the label on the bottom of the device.
If you use a wireless network adapter from the Gigaset range,
enter the SSID using the Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor.
The Giga762SX WLAN dsl is delivered with preset individual encryp-
tion (WPA2-PSK/ WPA-PSK with pre-shared Key). You will find this key
at the label on the devices bottom.

First steps
ì
Choose the encryption method WPA2-PSK/ WPA-PSK in the configuration settings of
your network adapter and enter the pre-shared key of you Giga762SX WLAN dsl.
If one of your network adapters do not provide this encryption method, you must
change the encryption method at the Giga762SX WLAN dsl (see page 88) and then
configure the encryption appropriatly for all network adapters. The settings at the
Giga762SX WLAN dsl should be performed only with a wired connected PC)
If the correct SSID and encryption has been entered in your PC's wireless network
adapter, the wireless link will be established automatically.
Checking the operating state
Your Giga762SX WLAN dsl is now ready for use. The LED displays on the front panel of
the Giga762SX WLAN dsl provide information about the operating state (see page 22).
When the device is ready for use, the LEDs light up as follows:
u
The
Power
LED on the front lights up.
u
The
ADSL
LED flashes to indicate that the DSL connection is being synchronised.
Once this process is complete, the ADSL LED lights up permanently.
u
The
WLAN
LED lights up to indicate that the Giga762SX WLAN dsl is ready to estab-
lish wireless connections.
The radio link to a PC that is connected by means of a wireless network adapter is
opened automatically provided the network adapter has been configured with the
same SSID as the Giga762SX WLAN dsl. It can take a few seconds for the wireless
connection to be established. The
WLAN
LED flashes when data is sent or received
via this connection.
u
The
LAN
LEDs light up if a device is connected to the corresponding LAN port.
If this is not the case, refer to the section entitled Troubleshooting on (page 157).

First steps
Network configuration of the PCs
In order to communicate via the Giga762SX WLAN dsl, the
network configuration
may
have to be set up on the connected PCs.
With
u
Windows Vista
or
u
Windows XP
or
u
Windows 2000
operating systems, this usually takes place automatically provided you have not made
any changes to the standard settings for the network configuration.
With
Windows 98/SE
, you have to carry out the network configuration.
The description of the network configuration can be found on the CD-ROM.
Making the basic settings
You can now make the basic settings for Internet access using the user interface of the
Giga762SX WLAN dsl (page 42).
If you want to connect additional PCs to the Giga762SX WLAN dsl, please read the next
section.

First steps
Connecting and configuring additional PCs (optional)
Once you have configured one PC as described above you can connect additional PCs to
the Giga762SX WLAN dsl. You will need an additional cable for each PC you want to con-
nect via cable. For the wireless connection of additional PCs, you will need a wireless
network adapter.
Wireless
ì
Install wireless network adapters in each other PC as described in the corresponding
user guide, making sure that the SSID of all wireless network components
(Giga762SX WLAN dsl and network adapters) is
identical
.
If you have not changed the SSID in the Basic Setup Wizard wizard or via WPS, the
default setting can be found at the label on the bottom of the device. Else you will
find the created SSID in the
Advanced Settings
of the user interface (see page 85).
You can see the preset pre-shared key at the label on the bottom of the device or also
via the user interface in the
Advanced Settings
menu (see page 88). You use this
information to manually configure PCs without WPS.
PCs with WPS can be connected wirelessly via WPS (see page 33 and page 87).
ì
If necessary, set up the network for each newly connected PC (page 35).
Wired
ì
Connect the network cards of each additional PC to a free LAN port (
LAN1
LAN4
)
on the Giga762SX WLAN dsl using an Ethernet cable.
ì
Make sure that the corresponding LAN LED on the front of your Giga762SX WLAN
dsl flashes.
ì
If necessary, set up the network for each newly connected PC (page 35).
ì
Reboot the additional PCs.

The user interface
The user interface
You have connected a PC to the Giga762SX WLAN dsl and possibly made the settings in
the local area network. You can now configure the Giga762SX WLAN dsl using this PC
from the user interface of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl. We recommend for initial configu-
ration that you connect the PC in wired mode. As Internet browser we recommend
Microsoft Internet Explorer V 6.0 or higher, or Mozilla Firefox V 1.0 or higher.
Starting the user interface
To access the user interface of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl:
ì
Start your Internet browser.
ì
Enter the IP address of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl in the browser's address field:
http://sx762
or
The login screen appears:
For your security, the configuration program is protected with a pass-
word. The default password generally required is
admin
.
ì
Enter the password.
Note:
To start the configuration environment, you may need to deactivate the HTTP proxy
for your browser.
If you use Window Vista or Windows XP Service Pack 2, you will need to configure the
popup blocker.
You will find additional information on these two points on "Deactivating HTTP proxy
and configuring a pop-up blocker" on page 163.
If you use a firewall, it must allow connection to the Giga762SX WLAN dsl. For details,
refer to the user guide for your firewall. If necessary, deactivate the firewall while you
configure your Giga762SX WLAN dsl.
