Establishing a radio connection with a WiMAX network

First scan the frequencies with the connection wizard. This establishes an initial radio
connection with a WiMAX network.
ì
Click on the Connection Wizard tab.
The connection wizard will be opened.
ì
Click Next.
ì
Choose whether you wish to operate your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX with an external
antenna.
– Click in the upper option field if you are using the antenna integrated in the
Gigaset SX682 WiMAX. Your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX is already standing by the
window with the cable connections turned inwards and is connected.
– Click in the lower option field if you received the Siemens outdoor antenna
together with your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX. The outdoor antenna must already
have been installed and connected by a qualified electrician.
ì
Click Next.
ì
If you are using the antenna integrated in the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX, align it
towards the window. If you are using the outdoor antenna, align the antenna later.
Click Next.
The frequency scan begins automatically. A progress bar indicates how far the scan has
progressed. In addition, you will see in the Remaining time area roughly how much
time is still needed for the complete scan. Depending on how your Gigaset SX682
WiMAX has been preconfigured by your provider, the scan can last several minutes
before the first radio connection is established.
During the scan, the Gigaset SX682 WiMAX or antenna must not be
i
moved; this is the only way to guarantee a complete scan with the cur-
rent antenna alignment.
As soon as a radio connection has been established with a WiMAX network, the scan will
end. The progress bar is fully filled in and the display in the Remaining time area jumps
to 0 seconds.
ì
If the scan has been successful, read on in Chapter "Precisely aligning the antenna"
on page 29.
