The Gigaset SX541 WLAN
dsl or other PCs cannot be
reached by a PC in the con-
nected LAN with a ping
command.
ì
Make sure that TCP/IP has been installed and con-
figured on all the PCs in the local network.
ì
Check that the IP addresses have been properly
configured. In most cases you can use the
Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl's DHCP function to assign
dynamic addresses to the PCs in the LAN. In this
case, you have to configure the TCP/IP settings of all
the PCs so that they obtain the IP address automat-
ically.
If you configure the IP addresses in the LAN
manually, remember to use the subnet mask
255.255.255.x. This means that the first three
parts of the IP address on each PC and the
Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl have to be identical. The
device also has to be configured as a DNS server.
No connection to the
Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl's
configuration environment.
ì
Use the ping command to check whether you can
establish a network connection to the Gigaset
SX541 WLAN dsl.
ì
Check the network cable between the PC you
want to use to administer the device and the
Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl.
ì
If the PC you want to use is in the device's local
network, make sure that you are using the correct
IP address administration (see above).
ì
If the PC you want to use is not in the router's local
network, it must be authorised via remote manage-
ment.
Password forgotten or lost
ì
Reset the Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl
(see page 19).
Warning: Please bear in mind that this will restore all
the configuration settings to the factory settings.
You cannot access a
resource (drive or printer)
on a different PC.
ì
Make sure that TCP/IP has been installed and con-
figured on all the PCs in the local network and that
the PCs all belong to the same workgroup.
ì
Check whether the resource has been released on
the PC in question and whether you have the nec-
essary access rights.
ì
Printing: Check whether the printer has been set up
as a network printer.
