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:
89/336/EC EMC Directive
72/23/EC Low Voltage Directive
and thus carries the CE mark.
Notes on PC and modem operation
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.
Notes on Gigaset Repeater
6
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.
Gigaset V.24 Adapter dt/eng:A30853-X400-B104-3-74D1
Introduction
Radio link
Safety precautions
Local station
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.
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).

Putting into service
Putting into service
Follow the step-by-step instructions described below for putting
the equipment into service:
1. Check the contents of the package
2. Install the configuration program
3. Connect the station
4. Conclude commissioning by performing an initial configuration, see "Initial configuration" on page 11.

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.

Installing the program package
Prerequisites for installation
For installation, you need:
● an IBM-compatible PC with the following configuration:
– Win 95, Win 98 or Win NT operating system
– 2 MB free hard disk memory
– 1 free V.24/RS232 serial interface as
● the diskette/CD-ROM containing the installation program
Installation
● Start up the PC and close down any programs active after
start-up.
● Disconnect any Gigaset M101 Data units from the power
supply and the PC.
● Insert the data carrier supplied in the drive.
● Under Start, select Settings, then Control Panel. Double-
click the Software icon.
● Select Install. The installation program starts. During instal-
lation, the message "No Gigaset M101 Data connected".
Confirm this message with "OK".
● Terminate the configuration program with "OK"; this con-
cludes the installation operation.

Initial configuration
Gigaset V.24 Adapter dt/eng:A30853-X400-B104-3-74D1
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.
