Adjusting the network settings on the PC

uration software in the Web browser, read the next chapter for information on which
settings you need to adjust.
Modern PCs with the Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system
are normally already configured so that they can easily be incorporated in a local net-
work. The connection with your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX is established automatically if
the general configuration of your PC complies with this standard.

ware of your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX can be accessed for other reasons, check the net-
work settings and change them if necessary.
The PC needs to satisfy the following conditions for you to establish a network:
u
There must be a network adapter installed in the PC; the TCP/IP network protocol is
set up.
DHCP
Activate DHCP to enable the DHCP server of your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX to assign an IP
address to your PC. Depending on the structure of your local network, select one of the
following procedures:
u
If you have connected your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX directly to a PC, activate DHCP on
this PC.
u

to form a local network, activate DHCP on all the PCs in the network.
u
