command and press the ENTER key.

If the default IP address of the router/access point (192.168.1.1) was not changed, the

IP address should now read 192.168.1.x (with x being a number between 2 and 254).

The

router/access point (192.168.1.1). These values confirm that your Gigaset SE587 WLAN

dsl is working.

The

ping

command sends data packets to the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl with the

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

command shows statistics about the connection, for example 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 timeout, this means that

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

1.

Is the Ethernet cable between the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl and the PC properly

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

The LED display for the LAN connections on the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl and link

display for the network card in your PC must be illuminated. For wireless

connections, the WLAN monitor on your PC must display connection information.

2.

Has TCP/IP been properly configured on your PC?

If the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has the IP address 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address

must be between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254. The default gateway must have

the address 192.168.1.1.

If you can successfully address the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl with the

ping

command,

then the PC has been configured correctly.

Establishing the IP and MAC addresses in the network

You will need the IP address or the MAC address of the relevant computers for some of

the settings.

The MAC address (Media Access Control) is used for the globally unique identification

of a network adapter. It comprises six parts (hex digits), e. g. 00-90-96-34-00-1A. With

many components, you will find the MAC address on the nameplate of the device.

Windows Vista

This is how you determine the IP and MAC address of PCs:

ì

Click the network icon in the taskbar

.

ì

Click

Network and Sharing Center

.

ì

Click

View status

next to the network connection used to connect your PC to the

Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl.

ì

Click

Details

.

Please remember:

If the IP address of the router/access point has been changed, enter the new IP

address.

Please remember:

If the command does not end with a timeout, press the key combination Crtl-C.
