Configuring the local network

Checking the connection to the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable

Once the network has been set up on a PC, you can check whether the PC has been successfully connected to the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. This can be done as follows:

◆Open Command prompt. This can be done by clicking on Start – Programs – Command prompt.

◆Enter the command ping 192.168.2.1.

i

If the router's IP address was changed, enter the new IP address.

The ping command sends data packets to the router with the specified IP address and checks whether the router responds. If this is the case, the command presents statistics about the connection, e.g. how many data packets were sent, how many received, how long the transfer took, etc. If you can see this information then the connection to the router is functioning properly.

If the command does not return any statistics, but ends with a time-out, then this means that the components cannot communicate with each other. Check the following points:

1.Is the Ethernet cable between the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable and the PC properly connected, or is there a wireless connection via a wireless network adapter?

The LED display for the LAN connections on the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable and link display for the network card in your PC must light up. For wireless connections the Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor must display connection information.

2.Has TCP/IP been properly configured on your computer?

If the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable has IP address 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address must be between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, the default gateway must have the address 192.168.2.1.

If you can successfully address the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable with the ping command, then the PC has been configured properly.
