Connecting Wireless To The Pc - Siemens Giga762SX User Manual

Connecting wireless to the PC

Wireless via WPS
If you are using WPS (see page 15), you can easily make a wireless connection to other
WLAN devices via the Scan (registration) button.
ì
Press the registration button (Scan) for at least two seconds on the device's back
panel or activate the corresponding function in the user interface to start WPS reg-
istration (see page 87).
ì
During the two-minute interval, activate WPS registration of the wireless network
adapter on the PC. The client receives the security data for the Giga762SX WLAN dsl
(SSID and pre-shared key) and is thereby registered.
WLAN LED display during WPS registration:
On (300 sec)
Flashing slowly
Flashing quickly
Flashing quickly with interruption
Only one client may register during an individual registration phase. If the device indi-
cates by means of the WLAN LED that more than one client has tried to register, there is
no client registerd. You can start WPS registration again after a short time.
If the LED indicates a successful WPS registration, the desired client, however, has no
connection the Giga762SX WLAN dsl and has not been registered successfully, an exter-
nal device may have connected to your WLAN. In this case, you should modify the WPA-
PSK key as quickly as possible (see page 88) or perform a factory reset (see page 26) and
perform WPS registration for the clients using a PIN (see page 87).
For additional WPS registration options see chapter "WPS Registration" on page 48.
For the wireless connection of additional PCs without WPS function see page 36.
Wireless without WPS
A wireless connection is made using a wireless network adapter that must be installed
in your PC. This can be an 802.11g or 802.11b-compatible wireless network adapter.
Owing to the superior range and the high data throughput, we recommend that you use
the Gigaset PC Card 54 or the Gigaset USB Adapter 54.
A wireless network is defined by assigning an identical SSID to all the devices.
ì
You should therefore enter the SSID for the Giga762SX WLAN dsl in your network
adapter configuration. The default SSID for the Giga762SX WLAN
dsl is shown at the label on the bottom of the device.
If you use a wireless network adapter from the Gigaset range,
enter the SSID using the Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor.
The Giga762SX WLAN dsl is delivered with preset individual encryp-
tion (WPA2-PSK/ WPA-PSK with pre-shared Key). You will find this key
at the label on the devices bottom.
