Introduction

Introduction

What is a Gigaset M101 Data?

Your Gigaset M101 Data is a cordless V.24/RS232 serial inter- face consisting of two stations: the lokalen Station and the Part- nerstation.

The station connected to the PC is known as the "lokale Station".

The "Partnerstation" is connected to a peripheral device, e.g. a modem.

Radio link

Local station

Partner station

The connection between the PC and the peripheral device is routed via the radio link between the lokalen Station and the Partnerstation.

In addition to both stations, the application features a configura- tion program.

Of the two stations,

●one is a "Basis" type station; this is usually the Partnersta- tion,

●the other is a "Teilnehmer" type station; this is usually the lokale Station.

All Gigaset M101 units are "Basis" type stations by default. When the device is configured for the first time, the Gigaset M101 Data connected to the PC automatically switches to a "Teilnehmer" type station. The Teilnehmer station must be reg- istered at the Basis station.

Every Gigaset M101 Data can be operated either as a lokale Sta- tion or as a Partnerstation.

Safety precautions

Research has shown that in certain cases, medical equipment can be affected by activated DECT devices. A distance of at least one metre should therefore be maintained between Gigaset M101 Data and the medi- cal equipment. When using cordless telephones in the vicinity of medical equipment, the regulations of the rel- evant institution must be observed.

Only use the power supply unit supplied (C39280-Z4- C59/C39280-Z4-C168).
