  • Page 10: Connecting Stations

    Putting into service Connecting stations To avoid damaging your Gigaset M101 Data and the PC, the V.24/RS232 cable should only be connected when the pow- er supply is switched off. Connect a Gigaset M101 Data to the V.24/RS232 interface of the PC (COM port). Some V.24 plugs have a plastic pro- trusion and cannot be properly arrested.
  • Page 11: Initial Configuration

    Initial configuration Initial configuration The purpose of initial configuration is to register the Teilnehmer station at the Basis station. You can only perform initial configu- ration with the configuration program. The Gigaset M101 Data can be operated at other PCs/operating systems once you have completed initial configuration.

    Why set a mode? Technical background Serial interfaces are more than plug-in connections. They have an integrated data flow control, control lines, data lines and an adjustable speed function. Serial interfaces are used for trans- porting data in various formats. Modems are usually controlled with AT commands or company- specific protocols commands that they receive via their serial in- terface.
