Checking the connection to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN

Once the network has been set up on your PC, you can check whether the PC is correctly
connected to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. This can be done as follows:
ì
Open Command prompt. To do this, click on Start – Programs – Command
prompt.
ì
Enter the command ping 192.168.2.1.
Note:
192.168.2.1 is the default IP address for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. If the IP
address has been changed, enter the new IP address.
The ping command sends data packets to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN 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 correctly.
If the command does not return any statistics but ends with a time-out, this means that
the components cannot communicate with each other. Check the following points:
1. Is the Ethernet cable between the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and the PC correctly con-
nected or is there a wireless connection via a wireless network adapter?
The LED for the LAN connections on the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and the 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. Is TCP/IP configured correctly on your PC?
If the Gigaset SE361 WLAN has the IP address 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address must
be between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.255. The default gateway must have the
address 192.168.2.1.
3. Does the IP address match the defined subnet mask?
As the Subnet mask
address may differ from the routers' IP address only in the last address field.
If you can successfully address the Gigaset SE361 WLAN with the ping command, then
the PC has been configured correctly.
