Information about the optional outdoor antenna
Information on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets the limits for protecting the health of the public from the effecs of
exposure to electromagnetic fields when it is operated in connection with the designated antenna(s) like described in the user manual.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to emission from electromagnetic fields recommended
by international guidelines from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines for the protection of the public and establish permitted levels of exposure to electromagnetic radiation for the population. The guidelines were confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure limit employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted in all frequency bands with the device transmitting at its highest
power level with minimum possibledistance to the body. The actual SAR level of the
device during operation with the designated antenna(s) is below the maximum value
and is additonally decreased by a distance to the device. This is because the device is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
enable seamless network connection.
Information about the optional outdoor antenna
Only one of the antennas listed on page 13 must be used.
The outdoor antenna must be installed and put into service by a qualified
W
electrician.
ì Only commence the outdoor work once you have taken all the neces-
sary steps to make the location safe.
Be sure to observe the safety instructions.
Wall duct:
To connect the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX to the outdoor antenna, the antenna cable must
be fed through the wall to the outside of the building. It must be possible to make a suitable wall or window duct at or near the location of the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX.
Setting up the antenna mast:
There should not be any obstructions (walls, trees etc.) in front of the antenna.
6
Information about the optional outdoor antenna
The best results will be obtained if the Siemens
outdoor antenna is in sight of the WiMAX base
station (cf. Fig. 1).
If a line of sight is not possible, you can reflect the
radio waves off neighbouring buildings. To do
this, direct the antenna at the building it is to
reflect off and not at the base station (cf. Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
Fig. 1
The antenna mast must be structurally secure. Check how secure the various attachments are.
The antenna mast must be within reach of the cable. Ideally, the antenna cable should
be protected outside (from frost, sun, unauthorised and mechanical influences etc.).
In particular, make sure the antenna mast has sufficient load capacity. If you are mounting the mast on the roof, make sure the roof is fully sealed again afterwards.
Lightning protection
The antenna mast should be positioned near a lightning conductor. A suitable lightning
conductor must be installed where necessary.
The Siemens outdoor antenna is not designed to be struck directly by lightning and
must be protected accordingly. The antenna must therefore be mounted in areas that
are protected against lightning (Lightning Protection Zone 0B). The corresponding separation distance (IEC 62305) must be complied with.
Earthing and lightning protection work may only be carried out by electricians specifically qualified for such work.
7
Information about the optional outdoor antenna
The appropriate earthing clamps must be used to create an equipotential bonding
between a cable shield and an equipotential bonding bar that complies with regulations.
Please observe the standard DIN VDE 0855-300 and find out more on the Internet at
http://www.dehn.de/www_DE/PAGES_D/service/down/blitzplaner.html
Or
http://www.dehn-usa.com/dehn-Application-Guides-pubcid1.html
Antenna cable and antenna connection:
It must be possible to connect the outdoor antenna to the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX by
means of an antenna cable.
Please note that the antenna connection must be protected from the impact of rain and
other weather effects.
Use cable clamps to attach the cable to the mast. Please note that the cable must be
long enough to turn the antenna at a later stage.
Antenna alignment:
When aligning the antenna, we recommend asking a second person to run the connection wizard on the PC and to check the reception quality on the screen; see Chapter
"Connection wizard" on page 26.
Aligning the antenna using acoustic signals
If neither you nor the assistant are able to check the signal strength on
screen while the antenna is being aligned, you can monitor it via a radio
system. To do this you will need, for example, two cordless phones,
mobile phones or radio devices:
(German)
(English)
ì Activate Tone on on the configuration PC.
i
ì Establish an internal connection between the two handsets and
switch on the loudspeaker on both devices.
ì Leave one handset next to the configuration PC and carry the other
with you (belt clip).
You will now be informed of the signal strength by means of beeps. The
closer together the sequence of beeps, the better the connection quality.
After installation:
Tighten all screw connections to the torques listed in the installation instructions.
Secure the antenna cable with cable clamps and cable ties. The cable must be protected
from exposure to pressure and tension.

Connecting the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
Connecting Gigaset SX682 WiMAX to the PC
ì Connect one Ethernet cable plug to the Ethernet port on the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX.
ì Connect the other plug of the Ethernet cable to the LAN interface on the PC.
Optional: connecting several terminals
If you wish to connect several terminals (for example a PC and a laptop) and establish
an Internet connection with all the devices, connect a switch or hub to your Gigaset
SX682 WiMAX.
A DHCP server is integrated into your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX. Please
i
ensure that a second DHCP server is not activated on your server. For
details on this, read the operating instructions for your switch/hub.
Connecting a telephone, fax machine or answer machine
You can connect an analogue terminal, such as a telephone with cord, cordless telephone, fax machine or answer machine, and operate them via the Internet in future
(Internet telephony/VoIP).
i
Depending on the connection plug on your analogue terminal, you may
require an additional adapter (TAE socket on the RJ11 plug).
17
Connecting the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
ì Connect the plug on the ana-
logue terminal to the Phone
connection on the Gigaset
SX682 WiMAX.
If your analogue terminal has a TAE plug, first connect this to the adapter (connect a
telephone to the F-coded socket, a fax machine or answer machine to the N-coded
socket). Then connect the adapter plug to the Phone connection on the Gigaset SX682
WiMAX.
ì If necessary connect the telephone, fax machine or answer machine to the mains
power supply.
Switching on the devices
! Only use the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX with the mains adapter supplied.
ì Connect the mains adapter plug to the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX socket.
ì Power up the PC.
ì Connect the mains adapter to the mains power supply.
The system starts up and performs a self-test. After the self-test, the Gigaset SX682
WiMAX continually attempts to register with a WiMAX network. Registration may be
successful immediately. If not, registration will take place when the Gigaset SX682
WiMAX is being configured.
ì Check the LEDs during startup:
LEDs during startup:
–The Power power supply LED lights up green, and the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
starts a self-test. If the LED does not light up, check that the mains adapter is connected correctly and the power socket is live.
–The LAN Ethernet LED is continuously lit green. If the LED does not light up,
check that the Ethernet cable is connected correctly.
– If registration with a WiMAX network has already been successful, the Online LED
lights up green. If the LED does not light up, register your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX
during configuration.
