First Steps

Creating a LAN connection

You can connect PC's to your router in wireless or wired mode and so set up a local area network (LAN).

Wireless

A wireless connection is established by a wireless network adapter installed in your PC. This can be a Gigaset PCI Card 54, Gigaset PC Card 54 or other 802.11g or 802.11b compatible wireless network adapter.

You define a Wireless network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID. Assign the router's SSID to the network adapters. The factory setting for the router's SSID is ConnectionPoint.

If the correct SSID has been entered in your PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless link will be established automatically once you connect your router to the mains power supply (see page 17).
