First steps
Connecting wirelessly to a PC without WPS
A wireless connection is made using a wireless network adapter that must be installed in your PC. For example, this can be a Gigaset PC Card 300 or another 802.11n, 802.11g or
You define a Radio network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID and setting the same encryption.
Assign the SSID of the Gigaset SE366 WLAN to the network adapters. The factory set 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 Gigaset SE366 WLAN to the mains power supply (see page 25). You should then configure encryption on the Gigaset SE366 WLAN and the wireless network adapter.
Your Gigaset SE366 WLAN is now ready for use:
uThe power LED on the front lights up.
uThe WLAN LED lights up to indicate that the Gigaset SE366 WLAN is ready to open wireless connections.
The radio link to a PC that is connected by means of a wireless network adapter is established automatically if the network adapter has been configured with the same SSID as the Gigaset SE366 WLAN (see page 25). It can take a few seconds for the wireless connection to be established. The WLAN LED flashes when data is sent or received via this connection.
uThe LAN LEDs light up if a device is connected to the respective LAN port by means of an Ethernet cable.
In order to communicate via the Gigaset SE366 WLAN, the network must be configured on the connected PCs. This usually happens automatically. To find out more about this, refer to the document “Configuring the local network” on the CD.
