Basic Setup Wizard

Channel

ìIn Repeater Operating Mode you must set the channel of the access point for which you wish to increase the range with the repeater.

ìIn Access point Operating Mode select the Automatic option.Note:

If the basic settings for the channel are not displayed on this screen, Super G is preset as the transmission mode for the device (see chapter "Settings for the wireless net- work" on page 24). In this case, the channel is set automatically.

SSID

The SSID (Service Set Identifier) defines your wireless network.

Please remember that using the same SSID for several access points and repeaters means that you cannot influence which access point your PC will use to set up a connec- tion. This may cause problems if you wish to connect to a particular device for configu- ration, and it has not been properly integrated into the rest of the network. You may not be able to reach it as your PC automatically sets up a connection with the strongest access point. In this case, move to the immediate vicinity of the device you want to connect to, or connect your PC directly to the device in question by means of an Ethernet cable.

ìIf you want to use roaming, enter the same SSID as the one used by the access point you select.

In Access point operating mode, enter the SSID that you wish to use for your wireless network.

Make a note of this SSID, you also need to enter it into the network adaptors of the PCs of your wireless network.

Repeater (WDS) (is only displayed in repeater Operating Mode)

You can enter access points for which you wish to extend the range of the wireless net- work. If a connection to the access point exists, the Signal strength, the SSID and the Channel are displayed. If you wish to use the repeater, the WDS function must be activated on the access point. To do this, please refer to your access point's user guide.

ìEnter the MAC address of the access point or select an access point from the list of available access points by clicking on Add.

The MAC address of an access point in the Gigaset product range is shown on the nameplate on the underside of the unit.

ìEnter a name for the access point in the Description field. This name will assist you to identify the various devices more easily. The SSID is the default setting.

ìClick on Refresh to update the display.
