The Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable
Procedure for installation and configuration
1.
First install an Ethernet network card or a wireless
Network adapter
such as the
Gigaset PC Card 108 or the Gigaset USB Adapter 108 in the PCs you want to connect
to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable. The installation is described in the products'
user guide.
2.
Then make the necessary connections (PCs, modem) to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN
dsl/cable and switch the device on (see section "Connecting the Gigaset SE551
WLAN dsl/cable" on page 20).
3.
Before the PCs can communicate with the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable and with
each other in a local network, you have to change their network settings. Configure
these network settings on
one
PC first so that it can establish a connection to the
Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable. You can then use this PC to configure the device.
To find out how to do this, read the document entitled “Network configuration” on
the CD.
4.
In a wireless connection you establish the link from the PC's wireless network adapt-
er to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable. This is described in the user guide for the
network adapter.
5.
Then configure the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable to activate the device's Internet
access (refer to the section "Basic Setup Wizard" on page 29). This will require the
access data from your Internet service provider.
u
If you want to connect more PCs to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable, configure
their network settings so as to set up the local network (refer to the document enti-
tled “Network configuration” on the CD).
u
If you want to use the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable's other functions e.g. the com-
prehensive security features, use the router's Security Setup (see page 34) or the
Advanced Settings menu (see page 43).
Please remember:
When installing wireless network adapters, use the default
SSID
for the Gigaset
SE551 WLAN dsl/cable:
