Important

Before you put the Gigaset M101 Data into service, the peripheral device that you want to operate as a cordless unit (modem, PABX) must be configured at the COM port on the PC side since it is to be used for transferring data. For information on configuration, see the appropri- ate documentation on the peripheral device and your computer’s operating system. This configuration is par- ticularly necessary for plug&play installations, as other- wise errors can occur depending on the installation rou- tine of the connected peripheral unit.

If you want to operate a modem, for example, via the ra- dio link, first connect the modem directly to the PC, con- figure it, set up a test connection, and then install the ra- dio link. To do this, disconnect the modem from the PC, connect the Gigaset M101 Data and perform the config- uration.

When choosing a location for the devices, read the "Notes on installation and operation" on page 20.
