Overview of the installation steps

1. First install an Ethernet network card or a wireless

the device. To find out how to do this, refer to the section entitled "Configuring the
local network" on page 111.

er to the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl. This is described in the user guide for the network
adapter.
5. Then configure the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl to activate the device's Internet access
(refer to the section entitled "Basic Setup Wizard" on page 30). To do this you will re-
quire the access data from your Internet service provider.

work settings so as to set up the local network (refer to the section entitled
"Configuring the local network" on page 111).
