◆ The Gigaset PCI Card 54 can affect medical equipment. Therefore, take note of the

technical conditions in your environment.

◆ Make sure you include the operating instructions, when you pass on your Gigaset

PCI Card 54 to somebody else.

◆ Please dispose of the Gigaset PCI Card 54 in an environmentally friendly manner.

Notes on safe operation

When you have installed and configured the Gigaset PCI Card 54 on your PC, you should perform security settings on the wireless network:

◆ change the SSID for all wireless devices on your network

◆ use an encryption mechanism (WEP encryption)

The Gigaset PCI Card 54

The Gigaset PCI Card 54 (named Gigaset WLAN-Adapter in the following sections) is an IEEE 802.11g wireless LAN PCI card. You can use it to connect your computer to a wireless network and collectively use resources such as files or printers. With this you are no longer dependent on cables to be connected to a network. The Gigaset WLANAdapter operates using 2.4 GHz radio transmission. It can transmit data at speeds up to 54 Mbps. Both the Ad-hoc as well as the Infrastructure mode are supported. The 64/128 bit WEP algorithm is used for network security reasons (WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.). The device also meets the usual standards. Thus it can communicate with all IEEE 802.11g networks and is also backwards compatible with the previous standard IEEE 802.11b.

These operating instructions contain information about installation and configuration of your Gigaset WLAN-Adapter.

Your Gigaset WLAN-Adapter can be used to connect your computer to other computers equipped with wireless network adapters (ad-hoc mode).

You can also connect it to a wireless router, e.g., to the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable, to have Internet access (infrastructure mode).

The Gigaset PCI Card 54

Basics about wireless LANs

In this section, a few basics about wireless LANs are covered so you will better understand how the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter operates when establishing a wireless network.

Local Area Network (LAN)

Simply stated, a LAN is a network that only exists in a relatively limited area. A network is two or more computers which are connected together in order to mutually use files as well as peripheral devices, e.g. a printer.

Using the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter you can communicate with other computers without having to route network cable. Thus you can take your computer to another place and still remain connected to the network.

You can use the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter in two different ways. On one hand, you can establish a connection to one or more PCs equipped with wireless network adapters. This is an Ad-hoc network. On the other hand, you can establish a connection to an Access Point, which is used to obtain access to an already existing wired L AN. This forms an Infrastructure wireless network.

Ad-hoc network

In an Ad-hoc network, wireless Peer-to-Peer connections are established between PCs. An Ad-hoc network is spontaneously (ad hoc) established by the participants as needed. A wireless network adapter must be installed on all participating PCs, e.g., a Gigaset PC Card 54 or a Gigaset PCI Card 54. Areas of applications for Ad-hoc networks are anywhere that communication networks should be established quickly and without an existing network infrastructure, and where participants should be mobile.

Infrastructure network

In the Infrastructure network, connections between the network participants are established via an Access Point (or multiple Access Points). The Access Point is used as a base station of the wireless network. It controls the connections between the connected participants and can also establish the connection from mobile stations of a wireless network to a wired LAN (Ethernet) or to the Internet.

Roaming

Multiple Access Points can be installed to expand the coverage range of the wireless network. Participants of the wireless network can move freely between the various Access Points, without losing contact to the network. As soon as the wireless contact threatens to be interrupted, the PC automatically looks for another Access Point offering a stronger signal. All access points and wireless network adapters must have the same SSID. (SSID stands for Service Set ID.) All access points must be connected to a common Ethernet network.

Installing the Gigaset PCI Card 54

System requirements

For operation, you will require:

◆ a PC with one of the following operating systems:

Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000 or Windows XP

◆ 64 MB RAM, more memory is recommended

◆ at least 30 MB free hard disk space

◆ a free PCI slot

The package contains the following components:

◆ the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter

◆ an antenna

◆ an installation CD including these operating instructions and the document

"Practical Tips and Configuration Examples"

◆ a quick installation guide

Installing the Gigaset PCI Card 54

When installing the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter in your PC you must observe the following safety precautions:

– Note that a few components of your PC could be energised, even

when the power plug has been pulled.

Do the following:

1. Shut down your PC and unplug the mains plug.

2. Open the housing of your PC.

– Avoid contacting electrical and electronic components, and only

hold the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter on the angle plate or on the outer edge.

– Observe the safety precautions of your PC manufacturer.

Installing the Gigaset PCI Card 54

3. Insert the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter and secure it. The way the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter is to be secured, e.g., with a screw, depends on

the design of your PC.

Make sure that the Gigaset WLAN-Adapter is not bent when inserting

it into the PC. If necessary, read any pertinent additional information in the documentation of your PC.

Installing the Gigaset PCI Card 54

4. Close the housing again, and screw the included antenna on the Gigaset WLANAdapter.

5. Insert the mains plug again, and start your PC so that you can begin installing the software..

6. As the computer powers up, the Hardware Wizard appears. Click on Cancel and begin the installation (see next section).

! If you do not click on Cancel here, the wrong driver could be installed.

Installing the Gigaset PCI Card 54

Installation for Windows 98, 98 SE, ME and 2000

1. Close all running Windows programs.

2. Insert the supplied Installation CD in your CD-ROM drive. The installation program will start automatically. (If installation does not start

automatically, run setup.exe from the supplied CD.)

Please note that you may require administrator rights for the installation process.

3. Select the appropriate language.

4. Select Installation.

Then the installation is prepared and a corresponding message is displayed:

Wait until the Welcome screen is displayed.

5. As soon as the Welcome screen is displayed, click on Next.

6. If you accept the licence agreement, click on Yes.

8. Once Windows recognises the hardware, it will automatically install the driver for your wireless network adapter. This may take a few minutes.

◆ Under Windows 2000: If the warningDigital Signature not

Found appears, simply click on YES, to cancel it and continue with

automatic installation.

◆ Under Windows 98 SE/ME: You may be prompted to insert your

Windows 98 SE Installation CD to continue driver installation. Therefore you should have this CD handy or enter the path name where the Windows installation files are stored on your PC.

◆ Restart your PC if you are prompted to do so.

◆ If your PC already contains more recent files, answer the question

whether you want to keep them with Yes.

9. Once all the drivers have been installed, you will see another dialog box. Click on Finish.

10.Close the installation program with Exit.

Installing the Gigaset PCI Card 54

After installation has been successfully completed, you will be able to use the Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor to create and monitor a connection to an Access Point. This monitor is represented by an icon in the taskbar, that also displays if there is already a connection to a connection partner (see p. 22).

In a wireless network in which exclusively Siemens Gigaset products are being used, the connection to an Access Point is established automatically during installation.

The icon for the monitor in the taskbar looks like the following, where the version displayed is dependent on the connection quality:

If one of these icons appears, the connection to the Access Point is already established. You can now start your Web browser to access the Internet.

Please also refer to the precautions regarding safe operation (on p. 3).
