The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
The Siemens Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable is a powerful but simple communications device
for connecting your PC or local network (LAN) to the Internet (WAN).
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable permits Internet access for several users. A single user
account can be shared, if your Internet Service Provider permits this. If you want to surf
the Internet at the lowest possible cost, then the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable is a convenient
and effective solution.
You can connect either a DSL or cable modem to the WAN socket of your Gigaset SE505
dsl/cable.
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable is programmed with numerous functions and is simple to
handle. It can be configured and operational within a few minutes.
5
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
Features and applications
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable's wide range of features make it ideal for a large number of
applications, such as:
u Setting up a local network
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable provides connections
– for four devices via Ethernet ports with a transmission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps.
– for up to 253 mobile terminals via a wireless interface with a transmission speed
of 54 Mbps. Here it complies with Standard IEEE 802.11g – i.e. the router can be
used together with products of several other manufacturers.
Using a Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable makes it easy to set up a network at home or in small
offices. For example, users can exchange data or share resources on the network,
such as a file server or printer.
With the Gigaset devices for wireless networks you can operate a LAN – as envisaged
in Standard IEEE 802.11 – in Ad-hoc mode and in Infrastructure mode.
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable supports DHCP for dynamic IP configuration of the local
network and DNS for Domain name mapping.
u Internet access
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable permits Internet access via a WAN socket with a transmission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps. You can connect a DSL or cable modem to this
socket.
– Since many DSL providers permit communication with end users with the PPPoE
protocol, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable has an integrated Client for this protocol, so
you no longer have to install this service on your computer.
–Shared IP address
If your Internet Service Provider permits this, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable can
make do with a single IP address for up to 253 users. Several users on your net-
work can then surf the Internet at the same time using only one Internet Service
Provider account.
u Virtual Private Network (VPN)
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable supports three of the most common Protocols for set-
ting up a Virtual Private Network: PPTP, L2TP and IPSec. This allows you to connect
devices at different locations via the Internet securely, if your Internet Service Provider offers this service.
6
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
u Protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable offers comprehensive security measures such as:
– Firewall
All the PC's in the local network use the router's Public IP address for their Internet
connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The router only allows
access from the Internet if it has been requested from the local network.
– With its firewall, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable also offers comprehensive protec-
tion from attack by hackers.
u Offering your own services on the Internet
– If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can configure the
router as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local network.
– DMZ
This allows you to release a PC on your local network for unrestricted access from
the Internet without compromising the security of the other PC's.
u Restricting Internet access
You can configure the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that Internet access is blocked or
limited for various users. You can also use filters to control which PC's are able to use
which Internet services, and you can disable access to certain Internet domains and
sites.
Important information:
On the CD supplied you will find a document entitled "Practical Tips and
i
Configuration Examples" which describes many of the uses of the Gigaset
SE505 dsl/cable in full detail together with their configuration settings.

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
Procedure for installation and configuration
1. First install an Ethernet network card or a wireless Network adapter such as the Gi-
gaset PCI Card 54 or Gigaset PC Card 54 in the PC's you want to connect with the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. The installation procedure can be found in the product's User
Guide.
When installing wireless network adapters you should note the fol-
i
2. Now install the router (refer to the section entitled "Installing the Gigaset SE505 dsl/
cable" on page 13).
3. Before the PC's can communicate with the router and with each other in a local network, you have to change their network settings. Configure these network settings
on one PC first so that it can establish a connection to the router. You can then use
that PC to configure the router. To find out how to do this, refer to "Configuring the
local network" on page 18.
4. In a wireless connection you establish the link from the PC's wireless network adapter to the router. This is described in the network adapter's operating instructions.
5. Now configure the router to activate the router's Internet access (refer to the section
"General configuration with Basic Setup" on page 51).
This will require the access data from your Internet Service Provider.
6. If you want to connect more PC's to the router, configure their network settings to
set up the local network (refer to the section entitled "Configuring the local network"
on page 18).
7. If you wish to use the router's other functions, e.g. the comprehensive security features, use the router's Security Setup (see page 59) or Advanced Setup (see
page 66).

First Steps
Setting up the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable can be set up in any suitable location in the home or office.
You do not need any special wiring. However you should comply with the following
guidelines:
u Operate the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable only indoors within a temperature range of
+5 to +40 °C. Do not position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable near a heat source. Do not
cover the ventilation slots. High temperatures will reduce the transmitter range.
u A mains socket for 220/230V~ and a connection socket for the DSL modem, cable
modem or LAN must be available where you set up the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable.
u Do not site the router in the immediate vicinity of stereo equipment, TV sets or
microwave ovens as this may cause interference.
u Position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that it is as near to the centre of your wireless
network as possible. The general rule is: The higher you place the antenna, the better the performance. Make sure that where you position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
has optimum reception throughout the house or office.
u Position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable on a non-slip surface.
The router feet do not normally leave any traces on the surface they are on. However, some furniture surfaces may contain substances that attack and soften the
router's plastic feet. Then the feet may well mark the furniture surface.
u Position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that it cannot fall down and damage the
antenna.
u Lay the cables so that nobody can trip over them. You should not cover the cables
with anything.
u Protect the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable from moisture.
Installing the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
u Only use the router with the mains adapter (12V DC 1A) that is sup-
plied.
u Do not plug any phone jack connectors into the router WAN and LAN
!
Before you start connecting PC's to your Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable make sure that
u a wired or wireless Network adapter is connected to the PC. Please read the operat-
ing instructions that came with the adapter. The latest PC's and Notebooks have
wired adapters built in at the factory.
u ConnectionPoint has been entered as SSID on the network adapter.
sockets.
u Use standard network cables for all connections (CAT-5) for the WAN
and LAN connections.
u An Ethernet cable must not be longer than 100 metres.
13
First Steps
Connecting a DSL or cable modem to the router
Connect the socket on the back of the router marked WAN and your DSL or cable
modem with an Ethernet cable.
Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable
DSL or cable modem
Use a 100-Ohm shielded or unshielded 3, 4 or 5 category Ethernet cable
with RJ-45 jacks on both ends for all connections.
i
Please bear in mind that the cable you use must be the right one for the
modem (either straight or crossed wiring). Please consult your modem
operating instructions. The Ethernet cable supplied has straight wiring.
14
First Steps
Creating a LAN connection
You can connect PC's to your router in wireless or wired mode and so set up a local area
network (LAN).
Wireless
A wireless connection is established by a wireless network adapter installed in your PC.
This could be, for example, a Gigaset PCI Card 54, a Gigaset USB Adapter 54, a Gigaset
PC Card 54 or other 802.11g or 802.11b-compatible wireless network adapter.
You define a Wireless network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID. Assign the
router's SSID to the network adapters. The factory setting for the router's SSID is
ConnectionPoint.
If the correct SSID has been entered in your PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless
link will be established automatically once you connect your router to the mains power
supply (see page 17).

First Steps
Activating
Connect the mains adapter cable to the 12V DC socket on the router. Plug the mains
adapter into a mains socket.
This activates the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. The power LED on the front lights up. The
power LED and the WAN LED on the front light up, indicating that the modem is connected.
The LAN LEDs light up if a device is connected to the corresponding LAN connection.
The LED WLAN lights up, indicating that the wireless interface of the Gigaset SE505 dsl/
cable has been activated.
The wireless link to the PC's connected via a wireless network adapter will be established
automatically if their network adapters have been configured with the same SSID as the
router (see page 15). It can take a few seconds for the wireless connection to be established.
The WLAN and LAN LEDs flash when data is being transferred between the PC and the
corresponding router connection.
If this is not the case, please turn to "Fault tracing" on page 100.
17
Configuring the local network
Configuring the local network
Once you have set up the hardware and connected all the devices, you have to configure
the network settings of all the PC's that will communicate with each other via the
Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable.
The LAN is set up as a TCP/IP network. You will have to make certain choices during the
configuration procedure. The most important decision is whether you want to use the
router's DHCP service or not. The router uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign Dynamic IP addresses to the network components, i.e. it automatically
assigns a PC that logs in an IP address from a defined range of addresses. The next time
the PC logs on it may well be assigned a different IP address. How to configure the
router's dynamic address assignment is described on page 74 of the section "LAN Configuration".
In this chapter we assume that you will use the router's DHCP service. This is also the
router's default setting.
In many cases however it is advisable to assign Static (fixed) IP addresses, e.g. if you
wish to run a wireless network in Ad-hoc mode. How to assign fixed IP addresses is
described in "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.
If your network has already been set up you can read on from page 45 in the chapter
"The user interface".
The network configuration varies depending on the Windows operating system you are
using. You will find the procedure described below for Windows 98 from page 19, for
Windows XP from page 28 and for Windows 2000 from page 36.
Have your Windows Installation CD to hand. You may be prompted to insert it.
18
The Windows user interfaces depicted in this guide may differ from those
i
on your screen because of the settings you have made. The illustrations
always reflect the state after immediate installation.
Configuring the local network
Network configuration for Windows 98, 98 SE, ME
To integrate a PC with Windows 98, 98 SE or ME in a local network, you must carry out
the following steps:
1. Set up the PC as the Client for Microsoft Networks (see below).
2. Select computer names and workgroup (see page 20).
3. Install the TCP/IP protocol (see page 21).
4. Make TCP/IP protocol settings (see page 22).
5. Deactivate the http proxy (see page 26).
6. Synchronise the TCP/IP settings to the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable (see page 27).
Setting up a PC as a Client for Microsoft Networks
Before the PC's on your network can work together, you have to configure them as
Microsoft Network Clients. This is done as follows:
u Click on Start – Settings – Control Panel.
u Double click on the Network icon and open the Configuration tab in the Network
window.
u Check whether the list of components contains the entry Client for Microsoft Net-
works.
u If it is not there click on Add.
u Select Client as the network component type and click on Add.
19
Configuring the local network
u Select in Manufacturers the entry Microsoft and in Network clients the entry Cli-
ent for Microsoft Networks.
u Confirm this with OK.
Selecting a computer name and workgroup
You now have to specify a name for the PC and assign it to a workgroup.
u In the Network wi ndow mov e f rom th e Configuration tab to the Identification tab.
u In the Computer Name box, enter the name the PC is to appear under in the net-
work. This name must be unique within the network.
u In the Workgroup box, type a name for the workgroup. This name must be the same
for all the PC's in the network.
u The Description box can be left empty.
20
Configuring the local network
Installing the TCP/IP protocol.
The TCP/IP protocol ensures that the PC's in the network can communicate with each
other. You must first install this Protocol for the network adapter that establishes the
connection to the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable.
u In the Network win dow move from the Identification tab to the Configuration tab.
u In the Network window, check that there is a TCP/IP -> entry for your network card
or network adapter in the list of components. If you are using a Gigaset PCI Card 54
as the wireless network adapter for example, then there must be an entry called
TCP/IP -> Siemens Gigaset PCI Card 54.
u If the entry does not exist, click on Add.
u Select Protocol as the network component type and click on Add.
u In Manufacturers select Microsoft and in Network Protocols select TCP/IP before
confirming with OK.
21
Configuring the local network
TCP/IP protocol settings
The TCP/IP protocol requires certain settings which you will now make so that it can
function smoothly.
u To do this, open the Configuration tab in the Network window.
u Select the TCP/IP > entry for your network card.
u Click on Properties.
22
u Open the IP Address.tab.
Configuring the local network
u If Obtain an IP address automatically has already been activated, your PC is
already configured for DHCP. Click on Cancel and close the next windows with OK
