First steps
Connecting wireless to the PC
A wireless connection is made using a wireless network adapter that must be installed
in your PC. This can be an 802.11g or 802.11b-compatible wireless network adapter.
Owing to the superior range and the high data throughput, we recommend that you use
the Gigaset PC Card 54 or the Gigaset USB Adapter 54.
A wireless network is defined by assigning an identical SSID to all the devices.
ì
You should therefore enter the SSID for the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl in your network
adapter configuration. For the default SSID for the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl refer to
the bottom of the device.
If you use a wireless network adapter from the Gigaset range, enter the SSID using
the Gigaset WLAN Adapter Monitor.
If the correct SSID has been entered in your PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless
link will be established automatically.

By default there is no encryption active. Please be sure to make your
network secure. You will find information about this in the section
entitled "Wireless Security" on page 31.
