Assigning the COM ports to the devices
A PC is equipped with a number of different ports to enable it to communicate
with other devices. The most common ports are the following:
The USB port
COM 1 - 2, on the hardware side
COM 3 - etc. virtual, i.e. only on the software side
The port layout is described briefly below:
Since there are three different ways in which the connected PC can access
Gigaset 3070/3075isdn (via Gigaset M101 Data, Gigaset M105 Data and the
USB cable), there are also three different configurations. Data from the Internet
(AOL, T-Online, RDT, PPP, X.75) or from another PC is preprocessed by the PC
itself over the relevant drivers and a virtual COM port (3 and higher) and sent
to the TAPI Service Provider (TAPI = Telephony Application Interface). The TAPI
interface then accesses the port that has been appropriately configured. With
a connection via USB cable, this is the USB port itself; with Gigaset M101 Data,
this is COM port 1 or 2 and with Gigaset 105 Data this is a virtual COM port,
which is routed via the USB port.
Overview:
Since a virtual COM port is upstream of the Gigaset M105 Data, the port must
be configured as a serial port in this case and not as a USB.
Operating Gigaset talk&surf with a wireless data device
If it is not possible to use the USB port of Gigaset 3070/3075isdn (lengthy or
complex cabling etc.), wireless PC operation at Gigaset 3070/3075isdn devices
is also possible.
For this purpose, you will need either
● Gigaset M101 Data with connection via COM port, or
● Gigaset M105 Data with connection via USB and virtual COM port.
