Connecting Cables

The Gigaset Gateway provides ports for either a USB or an Ethernet connection to your primary
computer. Select the interface you will use to connect the Gateway, and follow the step-by-step
instructions below for your chosen installation method.
Ethernet Installation Method
To connect the Gigaset Gateway via the Ethernet interface, your
computer must have an Ethernet adapter (also called a network interface
card, or "NIC") installed.
If your computer does not have this adapter, install it before proceeding
further. Refer to your Ethernet adapter documentation for complete
installation instructions.
2. Connect the DSL cable
1) Connect the DSL cable (resembles a telephone cord) to the DSL port on the Gateway.
2) Plug the other end of the DSL cable into the phone jack.
3. Connect the power
1) Connect the power adapter to the rear of the Gateway.
2) Plug the power adapter into the electrical wall outlet.
3) Flip the power switch to power on the Gigaset Gateway.
4) Power on all connected computers.
4. Check the LEDs
1) For each active Ethernet connection, the LAN Link LED for the corresponding port number
should be lit.
2) The DSL and Power LEDs should be lit. (For more information, refer to the
Chapter 1.)
When using the Ethernet installation method, you do not have to install any software. Refer to your
Internet Service Provider's instructions for installing their software and/or connecting to the Internet. You
can now configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in the next chapter.
1. Connect the Ethernet cable(s)
1) With your computer powered off, connect the Ethernet
cable to an Ethernet port (1-4) on the Gateway.
2) Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port on your computer.
3) If desired, use standard 10/100 CAT5 Ethernet cables
to connect additional computers to the remaining
Ethernet ports on the Gateway.
