Siemens Gigaset SE361 WLAN User Manual page 95

Symptom
You cannot open a connec-
tion from a wireless device
to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN or
other PCs cannot be reached
by a PC in the connected
LAN with a ping command.
No connection to the
Gigaset SE361 WLAN's con-
figuration interface.
Password forgotten or lost
Possible cause and remedial actions
The Wireless Network function is deactivated.
ì
Check whether the Wireless Network function is
deactivated and, if so, activate it (see page 56).
The PC does not have a wireless connection.
ì
Use the Windows device manager (My Computer –
Properties) to check whether the network connec-
tion is functioning. If you see a red cross or a ques-
tion mark, then the driver may not have been
installed or there is a resource conflict. Follow the
Windows instructions to remedy the problem.
ì
Make sure that TCP/IP has been installed and con-
figured on all the PCs on the local network.
ì
Check that the IP addresses have been correctly
configured. In most cases you can use the DHCP
function of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to assign
dynamic addresses to the PCs in the LAN. In this
case, you must configure the TCP/IP settings of
all the PCs so that they obtain their IP address
automatically.
If you configure the IP addresses in the LAN manu-
ally, remember to use subnet mask 255.255.255.x.
This means that the first three parts of the IP
address on each PC and the Gigaset SE361 WLAN
must be identical. The device must also be config-
ured as DNS server.
ì
Use the ping command to check whether you can
establish a network connection to the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN.
ì
Check the network cable between the PC which you
want to use to manage the device and the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN.
ì
If the PC you want to use is on the router's local net-
work, make sure that you are using the correct IP
address administration (see above).
ì
If the PC you want to use is not on the router's local
network, it must be authorised via Remote
Management.
ì
Reset the Gigaset SE361 WLAN (see page 19).
Warning: Please bear in mind that this will return all
the configuration settings to the factory settings.
