Synchronising the TCP/IP settings with the Gigaset SE361 WLAN

You have now configured your PC so that it is ready to be connected to the Gigaset

SE361 WLAN. You now have to release the old TCP/IP settings and synchronise them

with the settings of your Gigaset SE361 WLAN.

ì

On the Windows Desktop, click on

Start

–

Programs

–

Accessories

–

Command

prompt

.

ì

Then enter the

ipconfig /release

command and press the ENTER key.

ì

Then enter the

ipconfig /renew

command and press the ENTER key.

If the default IP address (192.168.2.1) of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN has not been

changed, the IP address should now read 192.168.2.x (with x being a number

between 2 and 255). The

Subnet Mask

must always be 255.255.255.0 and the

Standard Gateway

must have the IP address of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN

(192.168.2.1). These values confirm that your Gigaset SE361 WLAN is working.

ì

Enter

exit

and press the ENTER key.

Checking the connection to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN

Once the network has been set up on your PC, you can check whether the PC is correctly

connected to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. This can be done as follows:

ì

Open

Command prompt

. To do this, click on

Start

–

Programs

–

Command

prompt

.

ì

Enter the command

ping 192.168.2.1

.

The

ping

command sends data packets to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN with the specified

IP address and checks whether the router responds. If this is the case, the command

presents statistics about the connection, e.g. how many data packets were sent, how

many received, how long the transfer took, etc. If you can see this information, then the

connection to the router is functioning correctly.

If the command does not return any statistics but ends with a time-out, this means that

the components cannot communicate with each other. Check the following points:

1.

Is the Ethernet cable between the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and the PC correctly con-

nected or is there a wireless connection via a wireless network adapter?

The LED for the LAN connections on the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and the link display

for the network card in your PC must light up. For wireless connections the Gigaset

WLAN Adapter Monitor must display connection information.

2.

Is TCP/IP configured correctly on your PC?

If the Gigaset SE361 WLAN has the IP address 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address must

be between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.255. The default gateway must have the

address 192.168.2.1.

3.

Does the IP address match the defined subnet mask?

As the

Subnet mask

for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN is set to 255.255.255.0 the PC’s IP

address may differ from the routers’ IP address only in the last address field.

If you can successfully address the Gigaset SE361 WLAN with the

ping

command, then

the PC has been configured correctly.

Note:

192.168.2.1 is the default IP address for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. If the IP

address has been changed, enter the new IP address.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

This section describes common problems and their solutions. The Gigaset SE361 WLAN

is easy to monitor thanks to its LED displays. Problems can be quickly identified. If you

cannot solve connection problems after checking the LED displays, please consult the

other sections shown in the following table.

Symptom

Possible cause and remedial actions

Power lamp does not light

up.

No power supply.

ì

Check whether the mains adapter is connected to

the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and a power outlet.

ì

Check whether the power outlet and the mains

adapter are working properly. If the mains adapter

is not working properly, contact our customer care

unit (see page 99).

The LAN LED on a connected

device does not light up.

No LAN connection.

ì

Make sure that the connected device is switched

on.

ì

Check whether the Ethernet cable is plugged in.

ì

Check that you are using the right cable type

(CAT5) and that the cable is not too long (<100 m).

ì

Check that the network card on the connected

device and the cable connections are not defective.

If necessary, replace a defective network card or

cable.

ì

Use the Windows device manager (

My Computer

–

Properties

) to check whether the network card is

functioning. If you see a red cross or a question

mark, then the driver may not have been installed

or there is a resource conflict. Follow the Windows

instructions to remedy the problem.
