The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl

The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is a powerful but simple communications device for con­necting your PC or local area network (LAN) to the Internet (via DSL). It contains an inte- grated ADSL modem (ADSL /ADSL2+) enabling you to access the Internet easily.
You can connect your PC wirelessly to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and create a wireless local area network (WLAN). The device supports Super G technology. The transmission rate in the wireless local area network can be increased to 108 Mbps thanks to channel bundling. For network security, wireless transmission can be encrypted using the WPA/WPA2 standard or 64/128-bit WEP.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl also offers the functions of a PABX for Internet telephony (VoIP) and fixed network telephony. You can connect up to two traditional analogue ter­minals and then use these analogue phones both to make calls via the Internet or also via an existing analogue telephone line. In addition, you can operate SIP clients (wire- less SIP telephones and PCs with appropriate software) as PABX extensions and there­fore also make calls via the Internet or fixed network.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl allows several users to access the Internet simultaneously. A single user account can be shared if your Internet service provider permits this. If you want to surf the Internet and make calls using the Internet at the lowest possible cost, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is a convenient and simple solution.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl provides the new WPS function for wireless connection of PCs or notebooks. You can activate this function via the user interface. If the other cli­ents in your wireless network such as the Gigaset PC Card 300 also support WPS, you can connect with a simple click.

Do your part for the environment (ECO)

Thanks to a switch-mode power supply unit, all of our broadband products offer significantly reduced power consumption - for more energy-efficient use. Each device also lets you variably reduce WLAN transmission power based on the size of your home or office network via the user interface, which helps make a cleaner environment for everyone. You can even turn the WLAN off completely when you're not using it. Some of our broadband products also offer you the convenience of switching the WLAN on or off with a handy button directly on the device itself - or have a timer do it for you. It's our goal to ensure a sus­tainable economic process by using an environmentally friendly production and man­agement system - which makes it easy for us to meet the strict ISO 14001 standards for international environmental management.

Wired local area network (Ethernet)

In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable. When the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is used, it establishes the connection between the PCs. For this it has four Ethernet LAN ports for connecting four PCs. The PCs have to be equipped with a network port (Ethernet). New PCs frequently already have this port. For older PCs you need to install an Ethernet network card. The PC and the Ethernet LAN port on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl are connected using an Ethernet cable (CAT5). There is one supplied. You can obtain additional Ethernet cables from your retailer.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl allows all PCs to access the Internet simultaneously.

Wireless local area network (WLAN)

In a wireless local area network (WLAN), PCs are linked without wires or cables. The PCs have to be equipped with a wireless local area network adapter (WLAN adapter), for example a Gigaset USB Adapter 108.
We generally differentiate between two types of wireless network:
u Infrastructure mode u Ad-hoc mode
Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode connects wireless and wired networks with one another. In addi­tion to the mobile stations, infrastructure mode needs an access point such as the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. In infrastructure mode, the stations in the network always communicate via this access point. The access point sets up the wireless network on a permanent basis. Each station that wants to be part of the wireless network must first register with the access point before it can exchange data.
The access point establishes the connection between the mobile stations of a wireless network and a wired LAN (Ethernet) or the Internet. In this case this is described as the device's router functionality. The router sends data packets that are not addressed to sta­tions within the network "outside" and forwards data packets originating from "outside" to the appropriate station within the network.
You can use the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to connect
u wirelessly networked PCs to the Internet and u wirelessly networked PCs to an Ethernet network.
Infrastructure mode is the default configuration for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl.
Ad-hoc mode
An ad-hoc network is a wireless network that has been configured without an access point or a router. The mobile network components that communicate with each other directly and wirelessly form the network on an "ad-hoc" basis, i.e. as and when required. All the stations in the network have the same rights. Ad-hoc networks are used wher­ever communications networks have to be set up quickly and there is no existing net­work infrastructure, and where the participants are on the move.

Internet telephony and connecting analogue phones

The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl allows a combination of analogue fixed network teleph­ony and Internet telephony (VoIP) over DSL for two analogue telephones and four other wired or wireless VoIP telephones or SIP clients.
This provides you with the full benefits of both technologies. You can make use of the low-cost call rates of Internet telephony without any additional equipment. In addition, you have the option of using your analogue fixed network connection. The type of calls that are cheaper for you will depend on what calls you make and when you make them, and the rates offered by your service provider. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl gives you complete freedom of choice at any time.
Internet
Fixed network
You can choose whether to connect any two analogue phones, a fax machine or an answering machine to the phone ports. You can configure these ports using the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl.
The PABX of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl allows you to connect wireless SIP phones (WLAN handsets) and PCs with SIP clients (software for Internet telephony) as exten­sions. You can use all functions of your PABX for Internet telephony also.
You will need the relevant access data for your VoIP provider to configure Internet telephony.
Please remember:
You can only be reached via the Internet (VoIP) when an active Internet connection is established. You can still be called any time via the fixed network, however.

The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) makes it easier to establish and encrypt a wireless net­work (1 click only). You no longer need to configure and synchronise the individual components of your wireless network manually.
A wireless network is assigned a name (SSID) and requires the encryption of data traffic to protect against the risk of unauthorised access. The access point requires authentica­tion with an SSID and - if encryption is activated - a key to allow a WLAN adapter to access services.
WPS uses the encryption methods WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. Devices with WPS automati­cally create - if no key has been set before -during first successful registration an SSID and a WPA encryption key (pre-shared key) and synchronise each other.
WPS is not possible in networks that use WEP encryption or WPA2/WPA authentication. WPS may be used without encryption.
Clients without WPS can be connected manually.
WPS provides two possibilities for registration:
u Via registration function
The access point (e. g. the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl) provides a registration func-
tion. It can be started via the user interface WPS Registration page.
Once the registration function has been activated, the device allows the registration
of a WLAN client (repeater or wireless network adapter) during a two-minute inter-
val.
Registering a PC
Access Point
Activating WPS registration via software
The first time this button is pressed, the device automatically creates a SSID and a
pre-shared key, if these had not been already set on delivery or has been configured
before manually. If a client activates WPS registration within the two-minute inter-
val, the security data is exchanged and a connection is established. Only one client
may synchronise during the two-minute interval. After the successful synchroniza-
tion the registration is closed.
The automatically or manually created security data is valid for all further WPS reg-
istration processes. If you change this security data again manually or after a factory
reset the clients have to be registered again.

u Via Personal Identification Number (PIN)
The PIN offers improved security for registration. No other device (e.g. in an adjacent
room) can log in unnoticed. A PIN is used for registration which must be identical on
both devices. If a client logs in with this PIN, the security data is synchronised. Usu-
ally the PIN of the access point is used. For security reasons a new PIN can be cre-
ated.
It is also possible to create the PIN on one of the clients.

18
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
u Security functions
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl offers comprehensive security measures:
Firewall protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
All PCs in the local area network use the Public IP address of the Gigaset SX763
WLAN dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the
Internet. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if this
has been requested from within the local area network.
With the firewall, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protec-
tion against hacker attacks. – Service filtering

WPA2, 802.1x MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to your wire-
less LAN or to make data illegible to unauthorised parties. The security settings
available to you depend on the components used in your local network.
With MAC access control you can allow wireless access to selected PCs.
u Offering your own services on the Internet
– If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can set up the Gigaset
SX763 WLAN dsl as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local
area network. – DMZ (Exposed Host)
This allows you to release a PC in your local area network for unlimited access
from the Internet. Note that in this case your local area network will no longer be
adequately protected against Internet attacks.
u Providing an HTTP or FTP server via USB interface
– You can easily establish an FTP or an HTTP server for Internet access with the
Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. – You can connect a USB hub to the USB port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and
thereby at the same time provide a printer and a storage medium for all clients in
your local area network.
