You cannot set up a
connection to the
Access Point If you cannot set up a connection between your
Gigaset PC Card 54 and an Access Point, try one or more
of the following:
ì
Make sure that the physical connection of the Access Point
operates reliably.
ì
Make sure that the same SSID is used for the
Gigaset PC Card 54 and the Access Point.
ì
Check whether the security settings configured for the
Gigaset PC Card 54 match those for the Access Point,
e. g. the same key for WEP encryption.
ì
Check whether your access to the Access Point is blocked
by other security measures, e. g. by a MAC filter or filter for
IP addresses.
ì
Make sure that the IP address and the subnet mask are cor-
rectly configured in the IP settings tab.
As a rule, it is necessary to assign dynamic IP addresses
when operating a network in infrastructure mode.
