4. Connecting the base with a router (Internet) or PC

Your base features a LAN connection, via which you can connect the base to a

router or PC.

It is at your discretion as to whether to connect the base to a router and thus the

Internet. However, you will require this connection if you wish to use the following

features with your base:

u You wish to be notified as soon as new software is available for your base on the

Internet.

u The date and time on your base should be updated by a time server on the

Internet.

u You want to use info services and/or online directories on your base.

The base will have to be connected to a PC if you wish to use the following features

of your base:

u You wish to set up the base using its Web configurator.

u You wish to use the additional PC software "Gigaset QuickSync over Ethernet"

to dial numbers via the PC (e.g., numbers from the PC directory) or to load

images or melodies from the PC to your base.

For Internet access you need a router connected to the Internet via a modem (this

may be integrated in the router).

1. Guide the end of the Ethernet cable provided (Cat 5 with 2 RJ45 modular jacks)

from the rear through the recess in the housing.

2 Plug the jack on the Ethernet cable into the LAN port on the underside of

the base.

3 Then insert the second Ethernet cable jack into a LAN port on the router or PC.
