First steps

Overview of the installation steps

The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is supplied in two different versions for Internet and telephone connection, depending on the connection type used in the respective country: Annex A (ADSL) and Annex B (DSL). Installation is described for both versions.

1.First install an Ethernet network card or a wireless Network adapter such as the Gigaset PC Card 108 in the PCs you want to connect to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. The installation is described in the user guides for these products.

Please remember:

When installing wireless network adapters, use the default SSID for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl: ConnectionPoint.

2.Then make the necessary connections (PCs, phones, splitter) on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and activate the device (page 20).

3.Before the PCs can communicate with the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and with each other in a local network, you may have to change your network settings (page 30). Configure these network settings on one PC first so that it can establish a connec- tion to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. You can then use this PC to configure the de- vice. To find out how to do this, refer to the section entitled "Configuring the local area network" on the CD-ROM.

4.With a wireless connection, you establish the link from the PC's wireless network adapter to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. This is described in the user guide for the network adapter.

5.Then configure the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to activate the device's Internet access (refer to the section entitled "Basic Setup Wizard" on page 37). To do this you will need the access data for your Internet service provider.

uIf you want to connect more PCs to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, configure their net- work settings and set up the local area network accordingly (refer to the section enti- tled "Configuring the local area network" on the CD-ROM).

uIf you want to use the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl for Internet telephony, you must con- figure your VoIP provider's registration data (refer to the section entitled "Setting up Internet telephony (VoIP)" on page 86).

uIf you wish to use other functions of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, for example the comprehensive security features, use the Security Setup (page 44) or the Advanced Setup (page 53).
