First steps
Checking the operating state
Your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is now ready for use. The LED displays on the front panel
of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl provide information about the operating state (see
page 23).
When the device is ready for use, the LEDs light up as follows:
u
The
Power
LED on the front lights up.
u
The
ADSL
LED flashes to indicate that the DSL connection is being synchronised.
Once this process is complete, the ADSL LED lights up permanently.
u
The
WLAN
LED lights up to indicate that the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is ready to
establish wireless connections.
The radio link to a PC that is connected by means of a wireless network adapter is
opened automatically provided the network adapter has been configured with the
same SSID as the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. It can take a few seconds for the wireless
connection to be established. The
WLAN
LED flashes when data is sent or received
via this connection.
u
The
LAN
LEDs light up if a device is connected to the corresponding LAN port.
If this is not the case, refer to the section entitled Troubleshooting on (page 164).

First steps
Connecting and configuring additional PCs (optional)
Once you have configured one PC as described above you can connect additional PCs to
the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. You will need an additional cable for each PC you want to
connect via cable. For the wireless connection of additional PCs, you will need a wireless
network adapter.
Wireless
ì
Install wireless network adapters in each other PC as described in the corresponding
user guide, making sure that the SSID of all wireless network components (Gigaset
SX763 WLAN dsl and network adapters) is
identical
.
If you have not changed the SSID in the Basic Setup Wizard wizard or via WPS, the
default setting will be
ConnectionPoint
.
If you have connected a PC via WPS, you will find the created SSID in the
Advanced
Settings
of the user interface (see page 87). You can see the preset pre-shared key
at the label on the devices bottom or also via the user interface in the
Advanced Set-
tings
menu (see page 87). You use this information to manually configure PCs with-
out WPS.
PCs with WPS can be connected wirelessly via WPS (see page 34 and page 90).
ì
If necessary, set up the network for each newly connected PC (page 37).
Wired
ì
Connect the network cards of each additional PC to a free LAN port (
LAN1
LAN4
)
on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl using an Ethernet cable.
ì
Make sure that the corresponding LAN LED on the front of your Gigaset SX763
WLAN dsl flashes.
ì
If necessary, set up the network for each newly connected PC (page 37).
