Configuring Gigaset PC Card 108
Configuration
In the Configuration tab, you can choose the general basic settings and the security
options for operating the Gigaset PC Card 108. The Configuration tab is divided into
three sections:
u In the Common tab, you can make various operational settings, you can assign the
SSID, for example, and make various settings affecting data transfer (see below).
u In the Security tab, you can set up the system to encrypt data transfer and thus pro-
tect your network from unauthorised eavesdropping (see page 22).
u In the upper section, you can set various profiles for use in different networks (see
page 26).
Configuration – General
Successful communication in a WLAN depends on all the PCs using the same ID (SSID)
and the same radio channel. In addition, the connected PCs must coordinate their trans-
mission rate for successful data transfer.
You can choose the basic settings for each profile in Common of the Configuration tab.
Please remember:
For security reasons, installation should be followed by changing the SSID of your
WLAN, as the default SSID may also be known to unauthorised persons.
