Initial configuration

Initial configuration

The purpose of initial configuration is to register the Teilnehmer station at the Basis station. You can only perform initial configu- ration with the configuration program. The Gigaset M101 Data can be operated at other PCs/operating systems once you have completed initial configuration.

Proceed as follows:

1.Disconnect both stations and the PC from the power sup- ply.

2.Connect one Gigaset M101 Data to the PC.

3.Connect the PC and both Gigaset M101 Data units to the power supply.

4.Start the program "Set Gigaset" at the PC.

5.Select the "Local station" tab.

6.Click the "Register" button.

The lokale Station is now switched to "Teilnehmer" operat- ing mode. Normally, you must enter the Basis station PIN before registration is possible. In the case of initial configu- ration, however, you can skip this step since the Basis sta- tion has the factory-set PIN "0000". This is automatically set by the program during initial configuration.

7.Press and hold down the black button on the Gigaset M101 Data (Basis station) not connected to the PC for approx. 10 seconds until the LEDs indicate by blinking in sequence that the system is ready for registration.

8.Click OK. The registration procedure starts and the mes- sage "The Teilnehmer logs on at the required Basis if this is ready for registration. Ensure that the Basis is ready for reg- istration." appears on the screen.

The two devices are automatically synchronised. An entry is now visible in the "Registered stations" windows.

9.Assign a suitable name to the lokale Station, e.g. "PC".

10.Open the "Partner station" window and assign a name to it, e.g. "Modem". The registered station now also appears in this window.

11.It may be useful to switch the operating mode from "AT commands, local" to one of the two other operating modes. This setting concerns the protocol on the serial interface, especially the speed adjustment. For details, see "Setting the operating mode" on page 14.

12.Close the program with "OK".

In the event of errors and for more information, see "Configura- tion program options" on page 12.
