First steps

Overview of the installation steps

1.

First install an Ethernet network card or a wireless

Network adapter

such as the

Gigaset PC Card 108 in the PCs you want to connect to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl.

The installation is described in the user guides for these products.

2.

Then make the necessary connections (PCs, phones, splitter) on the Gigaset SX763

WLAN dsl and activate the device (page 26).

3.

Before the PCs can communicate with the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and with each

other in a local network, you may have to change your network settings (page 37).

Configure these network settings on

one

PC first so that it can establish a connec-

tion to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. You can then use this PC to configure the de-

vice. To find out how to do this, refer to the section entitled "Configuring the local

area network" on the CD-ROM.

4.

With a wireless connection, you establish the link from the PC's wireless network

adapter to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. This is described in the user guide for the

network adapter. If the wireless network adapter provides WPS, you can establish

the connection with a simple click (see page 34).

5.

Then configure the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to activate the device's Internet access

(refer to the section entitled "Basic Setup Wizard" on page 44). To do this you will

need the access data for your Internet service provider.

6.

If you want to connect more PCs to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, configure their net-

work settings and set up the local area network accordingly (refer to the section en-

titled "Configuring the local area network" on the CD-ROM).

7.

If you want to use the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl for Internet telephony, you must con-

figure your VoIP provider's registration data (refer to the section entitled "Setting up

Internet telephony (VoIP)" on page 101).

8.

If you wish to use other functions of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, for example the

comprehensive security features, use the Security Setup (page 52) or the Advanced

Setup (page 62).

Please remember:

When installing wireless network adapters, use the preset

SSID

and key which are

shown at the label on the devices bottom.
