Approval and conformity
Your Siemens Gigaset M101 Data has been certified by the German Federal Office of Telecommunication Approval (BZT). This
equipment has been approved in accordance with the EU directive 91/263/EC Telecommunication Terminals.
This data terminal complies with the requirements of the EU directives:
Notes on PC and modem operation
Notes on Gigaset Repeater
89/336/EC EMC Directive
72/23/EC Low Voltage Directive
and thus carries the CE mark.
When using a modem, software malfunctions in the PC
(e.g. an operating system crash or program errors in the
application software) can prevent the cleardown of a
modem connection from a telephone line. You incur
connection costs for trunk lines that you seize!
Since your Gigaset M101 Data only replaces a serial cable, malfunctions of this kind can also occur here. If such
a problem occurs, check the status of your modem and,
if applicable, reset it.
In the case of one-sided interruption of the mains supply
or complete interruption of your Gigaset M101 Data’s
hop, the interface’s status lines are reset to the initial
status in the partner station within 2 minutes (a modem
then clears down the connection).
Whenever possible, operate the station registered as
user at your PC (lokale Station), since any malfunctions
on the user side can be displayed, for technical reasons,
more quickly than at the base, see "LEDs and buttons"
on page 19.
Should the graphic or sound card be affected by interference from Gigaset M101 Data, rotate Gigaset M101
Data until the interference is removed.
The Gigaset Repeater cannot be used to extend the
radio range.
The repeater was designed for use behind Gigaset 2000
base stations.

Introduction
What is a Gigaset M101 Data?
Your Gigaset M101 Data is a cordless V.24/RS232 serial interface consisting of two stations: the lokalen Station and the Partnerstation.
The station connected to the PC is known as the "lokale Station".
The "Partnerstation" is connected to a peripheral device, e.g. a
modem.
The connection between the PC and the peripheral device is
routed via the radio link between the lokalen Station and the
Partnerstation.
In addition to both stations, the application features a configuration program.
Of the two stations,
● one is a "Basis" type station; this is usually the Partnersta-
tion,
● the other is a "Teilnehmer" type station; this is usually the
lokale Station.
All Gigaset M101 units are "Basis" type stations by default.
When the device is configured for the first time, the Gigaset
M101 Data connected to the PC automatically switches to a
"Teilnehmer" type station. The Teilnehmer station must be registered at the Basis station.
Every Gigaset M101 Data can be operated either as a lokale Station or as a Partnerstation.
Safety precautions
Local station
Partner station
Radio link
Research has shown that in certain cases, medical
equipment can be affected by activated DECT devices.
A distance of at least one metre should therefore be
maintained between Gigaset M101 Data and the medical equipment. When using cordless telephones in the
vicinity of medical equipment, the regulations of the relevant institution must be observed.
Only use the power supply unit supplied (C39280-Z4C59/C39280-Z4-C168).

Operating instructions 1 1
Before you put the Gigaset M101 Data into service, the
peripheral device that you want to operate as a cordless
unit (modem, PABX) must be configured at the COM
port on the PC side since it is to be used for transferring
data. For information on configuration, see the appropriate documentation on the peripheral device and your
computer’s operating system. This configuration is particularly necessary for plug&play installations, as otherwise errors can occur depending on the installation routine of the connected peripheral unit.
If you want to operate a modem, for example, via the radio link, first connect the modem directly to the PC, configure it, set up a test connection, and then install the radio link. To do this, disconnect the modem from the PC,
connect the Gigaset M101 Data and perform the configuration.
When choosing a location for the devices, read the
"Notes on installation and operation" on page 20.

Connecting stations
● To avoid damaging your Gigaset M101 Data and the PC, the
V.24/RS232 cable should only be connected when the power 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 protrusion and cannot be properly arrested. If this is the case,
use the cable supplied as an extension.
● Connect both stations to the plug-type AC adapters
(C39280-Z4-C59/C39280-Z4-C168) and insert these adapters in 230V AC 50Hz sockets.
You can now perform initial configuration, see "Initial configuration" on page 11.

Initial configuration
The purpose of initial configuration is to register the Teilnehmer
station at the Basis station. You can only perform initial configuration with the configuration program. The Gigaset M101 Data
can be operated at other PCs/operating systems once you have
completed initial configuration.
Proceed as follows:
1. Disconnect both stations and the PC from the power supply.
2. Connect one Gigaset M101 Data to the PC.
3. Connect the PC and both Gigaset M101 Data units to the
power supply.
4. Start the program "Set Gigaset" at the PC.
5. Select the "Local station" tab.
6. Click the "Register" button.
The lokale Station is now switched to "Teilnehmer" operat-
ing mode. Normally, you must enter the Basis station PIN
before registration is possible. In the case of initial configuration, however, you can skip this step since the Basis station has the factory-set PIN "0000". This is automatically set
by the program during initial configuration.
7. Press and hold down the black button on the Gigaset M101
Data (Basis station) not connected to the PC for approx. 10
seconds until the LEDs indicate by blinking in sequence that
the system is ready for registration.
8. Click OK. The registration procedure starts and the message "The Teilnehmer logs on at the required Basis if this is
ready for registration. Ensure that the Basis is ready for registration." appears on the screen.
The two devices are automatically synchronised. An entry is
now visible in the "Registered stations" windows.
9. Assign a suitable name to the lokale Station, e.g. "PC".
10. Open the "Partner station" window and assign a name to it,
e.g. "Modem". The registered station now also appears in
this window.
11. It may be useful to switch the operating mode from "AT
commands, local" to one of the two other operating modes.
This setting concerns the protocol on the serial interface,
especially the speed adjustment. For details, see "Setting
the operating mode" on page 14.
12. Close the program with "OK".
In the event of errors and for more information, see "Configuration program options" on page 12.

"Connection" tab
Upper section: connecting to the PC
You can set the COM port of the PC at which the lokale Station
is connected in the upper section of the tab.
It is easiest to leave the option No automatic detection deactivated (as shown). The program then checks the existing COM
ports and determines where the station is connected. Manual
interface selection is only recommended if there is more than
one Gigaset M101 Data unit connected to the PC.
As soon as the program finds a station or identifies the manually
selected interface, it sends it the configuration command via
the control lines. The station is thus switched to configuration
status. This is indicated by the Status display in the dialog box.
Gigaset M101 Data can only be configured under these conditions. At the end of the program, your Gigaset M101 Data will
automatically switch the station back to operating mode.
Lower section: radio connection
This sections indicates whether a radio connection exists and if
so, to which partner station. It also indicates the quality of the
connection.
A station must be registered before it can be selected here.

"Operating mode" tab
Important:
If one station is set to "AT commands, local" or "AVM/Eumex
commands, local", the other station must switch to the corresponding "AT commands, remote" or "AVM/Eumex commands,
remote" operating mode. And if one station is switched to "Direct connection", the other station must also be switched to this
mode. The appropriate switches are performed automatically if
you select an operating mode for an Gigaset M101 Data unit.
Setting the operating mode
Open the Operating mode tab and select one of the five modes:
The three connection types are used for different purposes:
Direct connection The transmission parameters for the PC’s
COM port are manually set at the computer without automatic baud rate or data format recognition. This is always useful if the
device at the Partnerstation does not support baud rate or data format recognition
as performed by conventional modems,
e.g. in the case of a second PC.

Changing a station type
Normally, a Teilnehmer station is operated at the PC and the Basis station is operated at a peripheral device. Other constellations, however, are possible in which both stations are connected to another PC, in order to create a cordless data connection
between two PCs. In this case, it may be useful to change the
type of a station. Or you can implement more than one Partnerstation in order to control a second PC or the modem alternately. It may be necessary to change the station type in the case of
a Gigaset M101 Data.
● Ensure that the correct station is connected locally.
● Select Change station type. The change is performed in the
background. You can see that this has been performed
when the information in the Station type line changes.

Notes on installation and operation
Place of installation
There must be a 220/230 V AC 50 Hz power socket in the vicinity.
The Gigaset M101 Data should not be installed in the immediate
vicinity of other electronic devices, such as hi-fi systems, office
equipment or microwave ovens, otherwise there is a risk of mutual interference.
Place the Gigaset M101 Data unit on a level, non-slip surface.
The device feet do not normally leave any unsightly marks. However, in view of the many different varnishes and polishes currently used for furniture, the possibility of marks being left cannot be ruled out.
Radio communication between Basis and Teilnehmer is based
on the DECT standard. The Gigaset M101 Data complies fully
with the relevant European directives. Should you nevertheless
experience sound or picture distortion with your satellite signal
receiving equipment, please get in touch with your dealer to
have it tested for shielding faults.
Depending on the ambient conditions, the maximum radio
range between the local station and the Partnerstation is approx. 300 m outdoors and approx. 50 m indoors.

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 transporting data in various formats.
Modems are usually controlled with AT commands or companyspecific protocols commands that they receive via their serial interface. On the basis of these AT or AVM/Eumex commands,
modems can recognise the format and speed at which the data
is transmitted. The automatic recognition of transmission parameters is important and must be emulated by the radio link if
a device that understands these commands is used for parameter adjustment and is connected to the Partnerstation.
A cordless extension cable between a PC and, for example, a
modem must detect the transmission parameters to be used at
the PC interface for communication between this interface and
the modem. On the modem side, the functions generated by
the PC must also be created for the serial interface.
On the radio link, data is transferred according to a radio protocol
that has nothing to do with the serial interface.
If a device which cannot detect transmission parameters in the
same way as a modem is connected to the Partnerstation, "Direct connection" is selected as the operating mode.
There are thus five possible operating modes for each Gigaset
M101 Data:
1. Direct connection: this operating mode is implemented for
all devices that are not controlled with AT or AVM/Eumex
commands.
2. AT or AVM/Eumex commands, local: this is the operating
mode for the lokale Station: the local Gigaset M101 Data determines the conditions on the serial interface in the same
way as a modem and transmits data as well as information
to the Partnerstation on the transmission parameters to be
used for entering this data in the terminal.
3. AT or AVM/Eumex commands, remote: in this operating
mode, the Partnerstation controls a terminal that understands the AT commands.

This section describes settings, implementation options and
programming methods.
Operating from a local station with two remote stations:
Please note that
● Only one connection can be active.
● Only one "Teilnehmer" station type can be registered at a
base that is ready for registration.
● The station type for Gigaset M101 Data units is set to "Basis"
by default.
Perform registration as described in the section "Initial configuration" on page 11.
The Gigaset unit connected to the PC is called "Gigaset1" and
is the lokale Station. It is now an Teilnehmer station type and
your Gigaset2 (Partnerstation) is a Basis. Configure the transmission parameters that are required for a connection between
Gigaset1 and Gigaset2.
Change to the Local station tab and click Change station type,
your Gigaset1 is now a base.
Exit the configuration program and connect Gigaset3 to the
COM port.
Now start the "Gigaset M101 Data > Set Gigaset" configuration
program and switch to the Local station tab. Click Change sta-
tion type. Gigaset3 is now an "Teilnehmer".
Press the black button on Gigaset 1 (station type currently Basis) for 10 s. The LEDs start to blink alternately, the base is ready
for registration.
Click Register, enter the PIN (factory default "0000") and click
OK. You have now registered Gigaset3 (as an extension) at
Gigaset1 (the base).
Configure the transmission parameters that are required for a
connection between Gigaset3 and Gigaset1. Exit the configuration program.
Connect Gigaset1 to the COM port at the PC that you want to
use for bothway operation.

PC-PCdirect cable connection: via RS232/V.24 interface
The problem that often occurs withPC-PC direct cable connections is incorrect baud rate setting. The following section describes how to configure a PC-PC direct cable connection at a
Win951 system.
Before using the actual Gigaset M101 Data, application functionality should be checked using a null-modem cable2. This accelerates fault detection and clearance. If this is not possible, the
precise configuration should be observed.
● Gigaset M101 Data can be set to a fixed baud rate (direct
connection 115,200 bps with HW handshake).

Sharing files
Since the Windows information given in the previous mask is
somewhat confusing, and since no references are made to the
File Manager/Explorer, here is the correct procedure. Once file
sharing has been activated and the PC restarted, you can release files for processing by the other PC via the File Manager/
Explorer.
To do this, start up Windows Explorer
Select the appropriate folder and then click File1 > Properties.
The following mask containing the tabs General and Sharing appears:
Assign rights for the other PC users on your hard disk or set a
password to prevent access.

PC-PC direct cable connection problems: examples
Other modem drivers installed continue to operate at the same
COM port (special ISDN TA drivers, CAPI modem drivers or similar software are often the cause of the problem).
Once successfully put into service, you can start up the direct
cable connection at both PCs. Remember that one PC must be
set as host and the other as guest. Access to files should also
be released via the settings Network/File and Print Sharing. Finally, the subfolders to be accessed by the guest must be released via the Explorer.
MAC and other operating systems
In general, Gigaset M101 Data can be implemented at every
RS232/V.24 interface if data transfer is performed transparently
and not on a company-specific basis (exception: AVM and
Eumex) or with AT Hayes commands.
However, both Gigaset M101 Data units must first be configured and registered at a Windows 95/98/NT system. When programming a modem connection, ensure that the Gigaset M101
Data unit is connected to the correct device. To do this, we recommend that you place a sticker, e.g. marked modem or PC, under the Gigaset M101 Data unit so that the correct device is connected later.
Meaning of "lokale Station" and "Partnerstation"
These designations are used for assigning names and indicating
stations in data traffic. "Local station" refers to the station that
undertakes all configuration operations (also for the "Partnerstation"). This means that in the case of a direct cable connection,
Gigaset M101 Data setup does not have to be installed on the
second PC.
Meaning of "Basis" and "Teilnehmer"
This is an assignment in DECT radio engineering (FP = fixed
part, PP=portable part) and only applies to the air interface.
"Base" is a Gigaset telephone base station. In this case, "Teilnehmer" refers to a mobile unit. This is defined, for example,
through the registration option. Only one Gigaset M101 Data
"Teilnehmer" can be registered at a Gigaset M101 Data "Basis".
Meaning of local, remote
When "local" is set, the Gigaset M101 Data connected behaves
like a modem/device and performs the PC COM port function.
When "remote" is set, the Gigaset M101 Data connected behaves like a PC and performs the function of the connected device.

Notes on sending faxes directly from the PC
You may encounter problems if your PC program uses Class 1
fax mode. Class 1 does not support any delays in signal runtimes which are necessary for switching to radio mode.
Class 2 mode, on the other hand, is not as sensitive as Class 1.
However, interference can still occur due to a bad radio link. If
you have problems with this setting, start the configuration program and check the transmission quality under Connection. This
can be changed by moving the Gigaset M101 Data unit slightly.

Fault Cause Solution
Monitor fault when Gigaset
M101 Data is active (e.g. slight
flickering or moiré effect).
DECT HF wanted signal is influencing the monitor.
Move Gigaset M101 Data along
the longitudinal axis until the interference disappears. Move Gigaset M101 Data further away
from the monitor.
A slight humming can be heard
in the loudspeakers connected
to the sound card when Gigaset
M101 Data is active.
DECT HF wanted signal is demodulated by the analog components of the sound card or
the amplifiers of active speakers
and thus produces a humming
sound.
Move Gigaset M101 Data along
the longitudinal axis until the interference disappears. Move Gigaset M101 Data further away
from the sound card/loudspeakers.
