First Steps
To the PC
You can connect wired or wireless PCs to your Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable to create
a local network (
LAN
).
Wireless
A wireless connection is made using a wireless network adapter that must be installed
in your PC. This can be, for example, a Gigaset PC Card 108, a Gigaset USB Adapter 108
or another Super G, 802.11g or 802.11b-compatible wireless network adapter.
You define a
Radio network
by assigning all the devices an identical
SSID
. You should
therefore assign the SSID of the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable to the network adapters.
The factory set SSID is
ConnectionPoint
.
If the correct SSID has been entered in your PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless
link will be established automatically once you connect your Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/
cable to the mains power supply (see page 20).

First Steps
Wired
ì
Connect one of the LAN sockets (
LAN1
LAN4
) on the back of the Gigaset SE551
WLAN dsl/cable to the Ethernet connection on a PC. To do this, use an Ethernet cable
with RJ-45 jacks (CAT5). This can also be done with the supplied Ethernet cable.
The four LAN sockets can automatically set the transmission speed to 10
Mbps
Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet and the transmissions mode to
Half duplex
or
Full duplex
depending on the performance of the network adapter in your PC.

First Steps
To the mains power supply
ì
Connect the mains adapter cable to the
12V DC
socket on the Gigaset SE551 WLAN
dsl/cable.
ì
Plug the mains adapter into a mains socket.
Your Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable is now ready for use.
u
The
power
LED on the front lights up.
u
The
WLAN
LED lights up to indicate that the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable is ready
to open 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 Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable (see page 21). It can take a few sec-
onds 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 connection
by means of an Ethernet cable.
In order to communicate via the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable, the network must be
configured on the connected PC. This usually takes place automatically.
You will find information on how to operate devices on the USB port of the Gigaset
SE551 WLAN dsl/cable on page 110 for printers, on page
83 for external bulk memories,
and in the document "Gigaset WLAN. Practical tips" on the supplied CD.
Please remember:
Only use the router with the mains adapter (12V 1A DC) that is supplied.

The user interface
The user interface
Once you have configured the network settings on a PC in your local network, you can
then use that PC to configure the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable with the Gigaset SE551
WLAN dsl/cable's user interface. You can use any browser for the configuration,
e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, Mozilla Firefox 1.0 or higher.
Launching the user interface
To access the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable's user interface:
ì
Launch your Web browser.
ì
Enter the IP address of the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable in the browser's address
