1. First install an Ethernet network card or a wireless 

 such as the 

Gigaset PC Card 108 or the Gigaset USB Adapter 108 in the PCs you want to connect 
to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable. The installation is described in the products' 
user guide. 

2. Then make the necessary connections (PCs, modem) to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN 

dsl/cable and switch the device on (see section "Connecting the Gigaset SE551 
WLAN dsl/cable" on page 20).

3. Before the PCs can communicate with the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable and with 

each other in a local network, you have to change their network settings. Configure 
these network settings on one PC first so that it can establish a connection to the 
Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable. You can then use this PC to configure the device. 
To find out how to do this, read the document entitled “Network configuration” on 
the CD.

4. In a wireless connection you establish the link from the PC's wireless network adapt-

er to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable. This is described in the user guide for the 
network adapter.

5. Then configure the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable to activate the device's Internet 

access (refer to the section "Basic Setup Wizard" on page 29). This will require the 
access data from your Internet service provider. 

u If you want to connect more PCs to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable, configure 

their network settings so as to set up the local network (refer to the document enti-
tled “Network configuration” on the CD).

u If you want to use the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable's other functions e.g. the com-

prehensive security features, use the router's Security Setup (see page 34) or the 
Advanced Settings menu (see page 43).

Please remember:
When installing wireless network adapters, use the default 

 for the Gigaset 

SE551 WLAN dsl/cable: ConnectionPoint.
