Configuration
On the Configuration tab, you can choose the general basic settings and the security options for operating the Gigaset USB Adapter 300. The Configuration tab is divided into three sections:
uOn the Common tab, you can choose the Registration Mode for the security set- tings and you can make settings for data traffic depending on the selected Registra- tion Mode.
uOn the Security tab, the security settings are displayed following successful WPS registration. If you do not use WPS, you can set up the system here to encrypt data transfer and thus protect your network from unauthorised eavesdropping (see page 31).
uIn the upper section, you can set various profiles for use in different networks. (see page 35).
Configuration with WPS
If the access point you want to use to set up a wireless connection to the Gigaset USB Adapter 300 supports WPS, the WLAN and security settings of the Gigaset USB Adapter 300 may be created automatically via WPS.
One press of a button on the access point and one click of the mouse in the configuration window of your Gigaset USB Adapter 300 is enough to establish the WLAN connec- tion.
WPS is only possible in Infrastructure mode. You cannot use WPS if other components in your wireless network only support WEP encryption.
There are three possibilities for setting up the WPS connection:
uWithout PIN (via the WPS key on the access point or the registration button on Gigaset devices),
uWith PIN created on the client and u With PIN from the access point.
You have to choose the Registration Mode according to the settings on your access point. Please check these settings first or make the settings on the access point as described in the instructions for this device.
