Establishing A Radio Connection With A Wimax Network; Precisely Aligning The Antenna - Gigaset SE680 WiMAX User Manual

Establishing a radio connection with a WiMAX network

The Basic Setup Wizard will now scan the frequencies to establish an initial radio con-
nection to a WiMAX network.
The frequency scan begins automatically. A progress bar indicates how far the scan has
progressed. In addition, you will see in the Remaining time area roughly how much
time is still needed for the complete scan. Depending on how your Gigaset SE680
WiMAX modem has been preconfigured by your provider, the scan can last several min-
utes before the first radio connection is established.
During the scan, the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem or antenna must not
i
be moved; this is the only way to guarantee a complete scan with the cur-
rent antenna alignment.
As soon as a radio connection has been established with a WiMAX network, the scan will
end. The progress bar is fully filled in and the display in the Remaining time area jumps
to 0 seconds.
ì
If the scan has been successful, read on in Chapter "Precisely aligning the antenna"
on page 21.
If the scan has not been successful:
The integrated antenna is a directional antenna this means that it must at least be point-
ing roughly in the direction of a WiMAX network base station in order to establish a radio
connection. The access data must also have been entered correctly.
If the scan was not successful:
ì
First check your access data by going back to the WiMAX configuration page (see
page 20).
ì
If you have entered your access data correctly, adjust the Gigaset SE680 WiMAX
modem.
ì
Turn your Gigaset SE680 WiMAX modem by approx. 20°. Turn or move the device a
little at a time and note the signal strength display. Use this to move the antenna to
the position with the best signal strength.
