Creating a connection to the Access Point (infrastructure mode)
After installation, you will be able to use the Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor to create
and monitor a connection to an Access Point. The Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor is
represented by an icon in the taskbar.
You will find more detailed information about this utility in the operating instructions
on the supplied CD.
In a wireless network in which exclusively Siemens Gigaset products are being used, the
connection to the Access Point is established automatically. The icon for the Gigaset
WLAN Adapter Monitor in the taskbar then looks like this (displayed variant depending
on the quality of the connection to the Access Point) :
If one of these icons appears you do not need to do anything else. The connection to
the Access Point has been established. You can now start your Web browser to access
the Internet. Please also refer to the notes regarding safe operation on page 11.
To create a connection to an Access Point provided by another manufacturer:
1. The red cross above the icon means that there is no connection at the moment:
Double-click the icon. This will open the Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor.
2. Click on the Site Monitor tab.
3. Under this tab, double-click the SSID for your Access Point, if it is displayed, to create
the connection.

If you have already configured your Access Point correctly, your Gigaset PC Card 54
will now set up the connection. You can tell this from the information that the
Status and Signal strength boxes show about the connection. The red cross above
the icon in the taskbar will disappear.
Make sure that the SSID for all wireless network components is
identical.
The factory set SSID of the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable is
ConnectionPoint.
