to set up a
connection
Causes and remedies
If you cannot set up a connection between your PC with the
Gigaset USB Stick 108 and another wireless network adapter,
this may be due to a number of causes:
The PC you want to connect to has not been powered up.
ì
Power up the PC.
The transmission speed set does not match that of the partners
in the network.
ì
Check whether you have set a particular transmission
speed. If this is the case, change to "Auto" (infrastructure
mode).
You are working in an ad-hoc network and a different radio
channel is being used.
ì
Select the correct radio channel.
The wrong mode has been set (infrastructure or ad-hoc mode).
ì
Select the correct mode.
The SSIDs of the devices that are to communicate with each
other are different.
ì
Make sure that the same SSID is used for all connection
partners with network adapters for wireless operation.
Different encryption is being used.
ì
Select the same encryption on all devices.
Changes in the configuration are not applied by your PC.
ì
Reboot your PC.
The IP address or the subnet mask is wrongly configured.
ì
Make sure that the IP address and the subnet mask are
correctly configured in the IP Settings tab.
As a rule, it is necessary to assign static IP addresses when
operating a network in ad-hoc mode.
Depending on the environment and the devices, setting up a
connection may take a while.
ì
Click on Scan on the Site Monitor tab or double-click on the
network in question.
