of your wireless network to the size you need, you also make electronic eaves-
dropping more difficult.

The Gigaset SE361 WLAN
Procedure for installation and configuration
1.
If your PC does not dispose of an integrated LAN or WLAN interface, first install an
Ethernet network card or a wireless
Network adapter
such as the Gigaset USB Stick
54 in the PCs you want to connect to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. The installation proc-
ess is described in the user guides for these products.
2.
Make the necessary connections (PCs, modem) to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and
switch the device on (see the section entitled "Connecting the Gigaset SE361 WLAN"
on page 20).
3.
Before the PCs can communicate with the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and with each other
in a local network, you must change their network settings. This will normally be the
case if you are using the Windows default settings. To find out how to do this, read
the section entitled "Configuring the local network" on page 76. First connect just
one
PC to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. You can then carry out the basic configuration.
After that you can connect further PCs.
In a wireless connection you establish the link from the PC's wireless network
adapter to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. This is described in the user guide for the net-
work adapter.
4.
Configure the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to activate the device's Internet access (refer to
the section entitled "Basic Setup Wizard" on page 28). To do this you will require ac-
cess data from your Internet service provider.
If you want to use the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's other functions, e.g. the comprehensive
security features, use the router's Security Setup (see page 32) or the
Advanced set-
tings
menu(see page 40).
Note:
When installing wireless network adapters: The default
SSID
for the Gigaset SE361
WLAN is
ConnectionPoint
