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).
