Assigning static IP addresses
If you opted for automatic assignment of IP addresses during Windows installation, you
can change this via the PC network configuration. If you want to use your Gigaset WLAN
Repeater 108 as a network adapter, you will have to assign a static IP address. Other-
wise, we recommend using automatically assigned IP addresses for the PCs in your net-
work.
By default, the IP address of the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 is 192.168.2.254 and the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If you wish to use the static IP addresses outside the cor-
responding address block (192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.253) in your network, you will
also have to change the IP address of your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 accordingly.
Network configuration differs depending on the Windows operating system you are
using. Below you will find a description for Windows XP, Windows 2000 and for Win-
dows 98 SE/ME.
Private IP addresses
You can select your own private IP addresses for the PCs on your local network. We rec-
ommend using an address from a block that is reserved for private use. This is the
address block:
192.168.0.1 – 192.168.255.254
Example:
PC 1: 192.168.15.1
PC 2: 192.168.15.2 etc.
Please note:
The subnet mask you use restricts the assignment of IP addresses. If, for example, you
use subnet mask 255.255.255.0, this means the first three parts of the address must
be identical for all network components (including the access point). With subnet
mask 255.255.0.0 only the first two parts of the address must be identical. The fol-
lowing shows an example for subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
Correct is e.g.:
Access point address: 192.168.2.1
PC 1: 192.168.2.12
PC 2: 192.168.2.60 ...
Incorrect would be e.g.:
Access point address: 192.168.2.1
PC 1: 192.168.3.2
PC 2: 192.168.4.3
