Configuration program options

"Connection" tab

Upper section: connecting to the PC

You can set the COM port of the PC at which the lokale Station is connected in the upper section of the tab.

It is easiest to leave the option No automatic detection deacti- vated (as shown). The program then checks the existing COM ports and determines where the station is connected. Manual interface selection is only recommended if there is more than one Gigaset M101 Data unit connected to the PC.

As soon as the program finds a station or identifies the manually selected interface, it sends it the configuration command via the control lines. The station is thus switched to configuration status. This is indicated by the Status display in the dialog box. Gigaset M101 Data can only be configured under these condi- tions. At the end of the program, your Gigaset M101 Data will automatically switch the station back to operating mode.

Lower section: radio connection

This sections indicates whether a radio connection exists and if so, to which partner station. It also indicates the quality of the connection.

A station must be registered before it can be selected here.
