Configuring the network

Before the PCs can communicate with the Gigaset SE366 WLAN and with each other in
a local network, you must change their network settings. This will normally be the case
if you are using the default settings. For further information in this regard, please refer
to the document entitled "Configuring the local area network" on the CD. First connect
just one PC. You can then carry out the basic Gigaset SE366 WLAN configuration. After
that you can connect further PCs.
Configuring the Gigaset SE366 WLAN
You now need to make a few configuration settings so that you can use your Gigaset
SE366 WLAN to operate a local network and establish a connection to the Internet. The
Gigaset SE366 WLAN provides a user interface which you can access with a Web
browser. Carry out the following steps:
ì
Launch the Web browser on your PC.
ì
Enter the IP address of the Gigaset SE366 WLAN in the browser's address field:
http://192.168.2.1
ì
Confirm the welcome screen with Next >.
ì
Choose the country in the Regional Options window. You can make the settings for
the clock to change automatically to summer time and/or to the time zone as you
wish.
ì
Confirm your entry with Next >.
ì
Select your Internet service provider and enter the access data you received from
your Internet service provider in the appropriate fields.
ì
Select the way your Internet connections are to be established:
– Select Always on if the connection is to remain set up when the Gigaset SE366
WLAN is switched on.
– Select Connect on demand if applications such as a Web browser or an e-mail
program are allowed to connect to the Internet automatically.
– In the Idle time before disconnect field, enter a period of time after which the
Internet connection is to close down automatically if no data is transmitted
(default setting: 3 minutes, range: 1 to 99 minutes).
This time setting only applies to the Connect on demand option.
