Approval and conformity
Your Siemens Gigaset M101 Data has been certified by the Ger-
man Federal Office of Telecommunication Approval (BZT). This
equipment has been approved in accordance with the EU direc-
tive 91/263/EC Telecommunication Terminals.
This data terminal complies with the requirements of the EU di-
rectives:
Notes on PC and modem operation
Notes on Gigaset Repeater
89/336/EC EMC Directive
72/23/EC Low Voltage Directive
and thus carries the CE mark.
When using a modem, software malfunctions in the PC
(e.g. an operating system crash or program errors in the
application software) can prevent the cleardown of a
modem connection from a telephone line. You incur
connection costs for trunk lines that you seize!
Since your Gigaset M101 Data only replaces a serial ca-
ble,malfunctionsofthiskindcanalsooccurhere.Ifsuch
a problem occurs, check the status of your modem and,
if applicable, reset it.
Inthecaseof one-sided interruption ofthemainssupply
or complete interruption of your Gigaset M101 Data’s
hop, the interface’s status lines are reset to the initial
status in the partner station within 2 minutes (a modem
then clears down the connection).
Whenever possible, operate the station registered as
user at your PC (lokale Station), since any malfunctions
on the user side can be displayed, for technical reasons,
more quickly than at the base, see "LEDs and buttons"
on page 19.
Should the graphic or sound card be affected by interfer-
ence from Gigaset M101 Data, rotate Gigaset M101
Data until the interference is removed.
The Gigaset Repeater cannot be used to extend the
radio range.

Introduction
What is a Gigaset M101 Data?
Your Gigaset M101 Data is a cordless V.24/RS232 serial inter-
face consisting of two stations: the lokalen Station and the Part-
nerstation.
The station connected to the PC is known as the "lokale Station".
The "Partnerstation"is connected to a peripheral device, e.g. a
modem.
The connection between the PC and the peripheral device is
routed via the radio link between the lokalen Station and the
Partnerstation.
In addition to both stations, the application features a configura-
tion program.
Of the two stations,
●one is a "Basis" type station; this is usually the Partnersta-
tion,
●the other is a "Teilnehmer" type station; this is usually the
lokale Station.
All Gigaset M101 units are "Basis" type stations by default.
When the device is configured for the first time, the Gigaset
M101 Data connected to the PC automatically switches to a
"Teilnehmer" type station. The Teilnehmer station must be reg-
istered at the Basis station.
Every Gigaset M101 Data can be operated either as a lokale Sta-
tion or as a Partnerstation.
Safety precautions
Local station Partner station
Radio link
Research has shown that in certain cases, medical
equipment can be affected by activated DECT devices.
A distance of at least one metre should therefore be
maintained between Gigaset M101 Data and the medi-
cal equipment. When using cordless telephones in the
vicinity of medical equipment, the regulations of the rel-
evant institution must be observed.
Only use the power supply unit supplied (C39280-Z4-
C59/C39280-Z4-C168).

Putting into service
Followthestep-by-step instructions describedbelowfor putting
the equipment into service:
1.Check the contents of the package
2. Install the configuration program
3. Connect the station
4. Conclude commissioning by performing an initial configura-
tion, see "Initial configuration" on page 11.
Checking the contents of the package
Important
The package contains: M101
Data Twin Pack
Gigaset M101 Data 1 2
Plug-type AC adapter C39280-Z4-C59/
C39280-Z4-C168 for mains connection 1 2
Serial 9-pin connection cable for connecting
the V.24/RS232 interface 1 2
CD-ROM with the installation program 1 1
Operating instructions 1 1
Before you put the Gigaset M101 Data into service, the
peripheral device that you want to operate as a cordless
unit (modem, PABX) must be configured at the COM
port on the PC side since it is to be used for transferring
data. For information on configuration, see the appropri-
ate documentation on the peripheral device and your
computer’s operating system. This configuration is par-
ticularly necessary for plug&play installations, as other-
wise errors can occur depending on the installation rou-
tine of the connected peripheral unit.
If you want to operate a modem, for example, via the ra-
dio link, first connect the modem directly to the PC, con-
figure it, set up a test connection, and then install the ra-
dio link. To do this, disconnect the modem from the PC,
connect the Gigaset M101 Data and perform the config-
uration.
When choosing a location for the devices, read the
"Notes on installation and operation" on page 20.

Installing the program package
Prerequisites for installation
For installation, you need:
●an IBM-compatible PC with the following configuration:
–Win 95, Win 98 or Win NT operating system
–2 MB free hard disk memory
–1 free V.24/RS232 serial interface as
COM port
●the diskette/CD-ROM containing the installation program
Installation
●Start up the PC and close down any programs active after
start-up.
●Disconnect any Gigaset M101 Data units from the power
supply and the PC.
●Insert the data carrier supplied in the drive.
●Under Start, select Settings, then Control Panel. Double-
click the Software icon.
●Select Install. The installation program starts. During instal-
lation, the message "No Gigaset M101 Data connected".
Confirm this message with "OK".
●Terminate the configuration program with "OK"; this con-
cludes the installation operation.
Check installation is successful
The following errors can occur during installation:
If no errors occur, all files are installed in the selected language
version and your PC contains a "Gigaset M101 Data" program
group. This contains the "Set Gigaset" configuration program, a
help function and a text file with current information.

Connecting stations
●To avoid damaging your Gigaset M101 Data and the PC, the
V.24/RS232 cable should only be connected when the pow-
er supply is switched off.
●Connect a Gigaset M101 Data to the V.24/RS232 interface
of the PC (COM port). Some V.24 plugs have a plastic pro-
trusion and cannot be properly arrested. If this is the case,
use the cable supplied as an extension.
●Connect both stations to the plug-type AC adapters
(C39280-Z4-C59/C39280-Z4-C168) and insert these adapt-
ers in 230V AC 50Hz sockets.
You can now perform initial configuration, see "Initial configura-
tion" on page 11.
