Connecting the Gigaset Powerline Adapter 200

Before you start to connect PCs to your Gigaset Powerline Adapter 200, make sure that
an Ethernet LAN port is available. If a PC does not have a LAN port, an Ethernet
adapter can be connected to the PC. Please read the operating instructions that come
with the adapter. The latest PCs and notebooks have wired adapters built in at the fac-
tory.

Connecting devices to the LAN port

ì
Connect the LAN port on the back of the Gigaset Powerline Adapter 200 to the
Ethernet connection on the device you want to connect, e. g. the PC, ADSL router or
IPTV set-top box.
To do this, use an Ethernet cable with RJ-45 jacks (CAT5). The supplied Ethernet
cable can be used.
To connect a router to your Powerline network, always use the Gigaset
Powerline Adapter 200 which operates as the access point (see page 4).
You can recognise the Gigaset Powerline Adapter 200 which comes pre-
!
configured as the access point by the red MAC address label on the bot-
tom (see page 11).
If necessary, you can manually change the operating mode of a Gigaset
Powerline Adapter 200 via the user interface (see page 19).
