The Giga762SX WLAN dsl

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl

The Siemens Giga762SX 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 integrated ADSL modem (ADSL /ADSL2+) enabling you to access the Internet easily.

You can connect your PC wirelessly to the Giga762SX WLAN dsl and create a wireless local area network (WLAN). For network security, wireless transmission can be encrypted using the WPA/WPA2 standard or 64/128-bit WEP.

The Giga762SX 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 (wireless SIP telephones and PCs with appropriate software) as PABX extensions and therefore also make calls via the Internet or fixed network.

The Giga762SX 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 Giga762SX WLAN dsl is a convenient and simple solution.

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl provides the new WPS function for wireless connection of PCs or notebooks. You can activate this function via the user interface or – depending on the hardware type of your device – with the registration (Scan) button on the back panel. 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.

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl has an extensive range of functions but remains simple to use. It can be configured and operational within a few minutes.

Note:

This user guide is based on the software release 2.3.

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 energyefficient 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 Siemens Giga762SX 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 Giga762SX WLAN dsl are connected using an Ethernet cable (CAT5). There is one supplied. You can obtain additional Ethernet cables from your retailer.

The Giga762SX 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 54.

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 Giga762SX 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 Giga762SX 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 Giga762SX 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.

Linking wireless networks with the Internet

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl has an ADSL interface that permits all stations within its local area network to access the Internet simultaneously. To be able to use this functionality, you need a DSL connection obtainable from an Internet service provider. Find out whether your service provider supports parallel access by several PCs.

If you want to link the Gigaset WLAN network to an existing network, a large number of settings have to be applied. Therefore we cannot provide a general example for this use; the configuration depends greatly on the networks in question. We advise having the configuration of such a network carried out by a specialist.

Extending the wireless network coverage with a repeater

Using the Gigaset WLAN Repeater, you can extend your wireless network's coverage. Set it up within the range of your network. The repeater will now transmit data traffic into its own wireless area. This technology allows you to set up wireless networks that cover a much larger area than is possible with a single Giga762SX WLAN dsl.

PCs to be connected in a wireless local area network via a repeater must be equipped with an integrated wireless network adapter or you have to connect an external wireless network adapter (e.g. a USB adapter).

Internet telephony and connecting analogue phones

The Giga762SX 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 Giga762SX WLAN dsl gives you complete freedom of choice at any time.

Internet

Fixednetwork

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 Giga762SX WLAN dsl.

The PABX of the Giga762SX 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.

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 can automatically synchronise each other. The predefined individual SSID and pre-shared key is used for encryption.

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.

15

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl

WPS provides two possibilities for registration:

uVia registration button

The access point (e.g. the Giga762SX WLAN dsl) has a registration button. The registration button is available either:

–as hardware: a specific button (labelled Scan) is provided on the device’s back panel.

–as software: registration can be started via the WPS Registration page of the user interface.

In the description that follows, the term registration button refers to both the Scan button and the corresponding function in the user interface.

Depending on your hardware version, WPS registration may only be possible via the user interface.

Once the registration button has been activated, the device allows the registration of a WLAN client (repeater or wireless network adapter) during a two-minute interval.

(((

Pushing the registration button or 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 interval, the security data is exchanged and a connection is established. Only one client may synchronise during the two-minute interval. After the successful synchronization the registration is closed.

The automatically or manually created security data is valid for all further WPS registration processes. If you change this security data again manually or after a factory reset the clients have to be registered again.

uVia 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. Usually the th PIN of the access point is used. For security reasons a new PIN can be created.

It is also possible to create the PIN on one of the clients.

WLAN adapters without WPS can also be set up manually, i.e. the SSID and key must be entered manually. How you can find out which SSID and which pre-shared key is set, you can read in chapter "Configuring wireless connections" on page 85.

WPS cannot be used together with WEP encryption or WPA/WPA2 authentication.

Features and applications

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number of applications.

Depending on your device, some of the features may differ from the description in this instruction manual.

uInternet access

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl allows several users to have Internet access via the integrated ADSL /ADSL2+ modem.

–Since many DSL providers permit communication with end users via the PPPoE protocol, the Giga762SX WLAN dsl has an integrated Client for this protocol, so you no longer have to install this service on your PC.

–The Giga762SX WLAN dsl supports shared Internet access for up to 252 users. This means several users in your network can surf the Internet at the same time, all using the same Internet account.

uSetting up a local area network

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl offers the following possibilities:

–Four devices connected via Ethernet ports with a transmission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps (with automatic recognition).

–Up to 252 mobile terminals connected via a radio interface with a transmission speed of up to 54 Mbps. It complies with IEEE 802.11g standard and can work with all products that satisfy Standard IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g.

–Using the Giga762SX WLAN dsl makes it easy to set up a network at home or in small offices. For example, users can exchange data or share resources in the network, such as a file

17

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl

server or printer. You can connect a USB hard disk or a printer to the USB interface of the Giga762SX WLAN dsl and make them available to all users in your network.

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl supports DHCP for dynamic IP configuration of the local area network, and DNS for domain name mapping.

uConnecting phones and Internet telephony

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl permits

–Internet telephony via the DSL port.

–Fixed network telephony via the analogue port.

–Connection of two analogue phones for Internet telephony and for fixed network calls as well as connection of wireless SIP phones and PCs with SIP clients for Internet telephony.

–Connection of an answering machine or fax.

Data transfer for VoIP is handled by the SIP protocol with high connection and voice quality. If the Internet connection has been interrupted or you do not want to make a call via VoIP, you can simply make a call via the fixed network (if a fixed network phone is connected).

uSecurity functions

The Giga762SX 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 Giga762SX WLAN dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The Giga762SX WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if this has been requested from within the local area network.

With the firewall, the Giga762SX WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protection against hacker attacks.

–Service filtering

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl can filter Internet access. Here you determine which PCs may access which Internet services.

–Access control and encryption for the local area network

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl is delivered with a predefined individual encryption (WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK with pre-shared key). You will find the corresponding information at the label on the devices bottom. So, your wirless network is protected against unauthorised access.

If there are wireless network adapters of your PCs which do not support this encryption method, you can use other encryption methods and authentication methods (WEP, WPA/WPA2, 802.1x) to prevent unauthorised access to your wireless LAN or to make data illegible to unauthorised parties.

With MAC access control you can allow wireless access to selected PCs.

18

The Giga762SX WLAN dsl

uOffering your own services on the Internet

–If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can set up the Giga762SX 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.

uProviding an HTTP or FTP server via USB interface

–You can easily establish an FTP or an HTTP server for Internet access with the Giga762SX WLAN dsl.

–You can connect a USB hub to the USB port on your Giga762SX WLAN dsl and thereby at the same time provide a printer and a storage medium for all clients in your local area network.
