Hardware Installation
You may position the Gigaset Gateway at any convenient location in your office or home. No special wiring or
cooling requirements are needed; however, you should comply with the safety guidelines specified in the
section.
You can connect the gateway to an existing Ethernet port on your
computer. To connect the Gigaset device via the Ethernet interface,
your computer must have an Ethernet adapter (also called a network
interface card, or NIC) installed. If your computer does not have this
adapter, install it before proceeding further. Refer to your Ethernet
adapter documentation for complete installation instructions. Once you
verify installation of an Ethernet adapter, perform the following
procedure to connect the gateway to your computer.
The Gateway is connected to the PC and athe Internet through cable connections on the back of the device.
1. With the PC powered off, connect one end of the RJ-45 cable to any of the Gigaset device’s Ethernet ports
on the back-panel and the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the PC.
2. Connect the DSL cable (resembles a telephone cord) to the DSL port on the rear of the gateway. To
reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG gauge telecommunication cord to connect your DSL port on your
gateway to a DSL telephone jack.
3. Connect the power adapter to the rear of the gateway and plug it into an electrical wall outlet.
4. Turn the modem on using the On/Off switch.
5. Power on all connected computers.
You can now configure the TCP/IP settings as detailed in the
section.
