The user interface

The user interface
Your Gigaset SE365 WLAN comes supplied with factory settings that normally allow it
to be used as a repeater without comprehensive adjustments being necessary. How-
ever, you still have to set up the connection to the access point whose range you wish
to extend with the Gigaset SE365 WLAN. If you wish to use your Gigaset SE365 WLAN
in a different operating mode (see page 4), you need to configure it.
If you use encryption in your wireless network, you must also use encryption and set
the keys on the repeater.
You can use a browser-based configuration program that can be opened from a PC to
carry out the configuration steps and to monitor operations. Detailed information is
provided about the steps required. Necessary configuration steps are carried out
automatically.
Please note:
u
For initial configuration we suggest that you connect the Gigaset SE365 WLAN
with an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the PC on which you wish to make
the configuration. The Ethernet card should also be set to "Obtain an IP address
automatically" (see document "Configuring the local network" on the product CD).
u
To start the configuration interface, you may need to deactivate the HTTP proxy
for your browser (see page 79).
u
If you use the Mozilla Firefox browser or if you use Internet Explorer together with
Windows XP Service Pack 2, you need to configure the popup blocker (see
page 80).

Launching the user interface

As described in the chapter "First Steps" on page 10, you have connected your
Gigaset SE365 WLAN and made any changes necessary to the Ethernet card's network
configuration. Your Gigaset SE365 WLAN is connected to the mains power supply, the
Power LED lights up, as does the WLAN LED. The LED for the local network lights up
if you have connected a device directly using an Ethernet cable.
