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.
