First steps
Checking the operating state
Your Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is now ready for use. The LED displays on the front panel
of the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl provide information about the operating state (see
page 8).
When the device is ready for use, the LEDs light up as follows:
u The Power LED on the front lights up.
u The ADSL LED flashes to indicate that the DSL connection is being synchronised.
Once this process is complete, the ADSL LED lights up permanently.
u The LAN LEDs light up if a device is connected to the corresponding LAN port.
u The WLAN LED lights up indicating that the wireless interface is activated.
If this is not the case, refer to the section entitled "Troubleshooting" on page 77.
