Introduction

The Gigaset SE365 WLAN offers various possibilities for use in wired and wireless networks. It enables very simple wireless integration of remote PCs into a network. You can also connect PCs together in a wireless network or provide wireless access to a wired network.

Modern WPS technology allows secure WLAN connections to be established quickly.

Introduction

Possible uses

You can use your Gigaset SE365 WLAN in various functions in your network. The device provides three operating modes that you can choose to suit your requirements.

Use as repeater

The Gigaset SE365 WLAN can be used to increase the coverage of your wireless network (WDS functionality). Set it up within the range of your network. The Gigaset SE365 WLAN will now transmit data traffic into its own wireless area. This allows you to set up wireless networks that cover a much larger area than would otherwise be possible with just one wireless router (e.g. Gigaset SE366 WLAN).

)))

(((

Internet

Gigaset SE365

)))

In this case, your Gigaset SE365 WLAN is operated in Repeater operating mode. PCs that you wish to connect to a wireless local network via a Gigaset SE365 WLAN must

have a wireless network adapter, such as a Gigaset Card 300 or another 802.11n,

802.11g or 802.11b compatible network adapter.

Introduction

Use as access point in conjunction with a router

The Gigaset SE365 WLAN permits wireless connection of PCs to an existing wired local network. For example, the Gigaset SE365 WLAN can be connected via an Ethernet cable to an Ethernet router, thus providing further PCs with wireless access to this network. It is also possible to connect the Gigaset SE365 WLAN away from (e.g. on the first floor) the Ethernet router (which is in the cellar for example) using cable.

In this case, your Gigaset SE365 WLAN is operated in Access point operating mode.

Use as wireless network adapter

The Gigaset SE365 WLAN can be connected directly to the Ethernet port of a PC or other device (e.g. a games console, set-top box). It then functions as a wireless network adapter, but uses the device's wired Ethernet port. You do not need to install any additional driver software on the device. This ensures that access to the wireless network is independent of the operating system.

When you set up a connection from a computer or other device to an access point using the Gigaset SE365 WLAN, you operate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN in Ethernet adapter operating mode.

Introduction

If you want to set up a wireless connection between two PCs or other devices using the Gigaset SE365 WLAN, you have to use one Gigaset SE365 WLAN in Access point operating mode, and all others in Ethernet adapter operating mode.

)))

Gigaset SE365

An example of this configuration, a wireless connection between two games consoles, can be found on page 78.

Use for accessing the Internet with a PC

The Gigaset SE365 WLAN permits wireless Internet access for a PC. In this case, it is operated in Access point operating mode, connected directly to a DSL or cable modem. However, simultaneous Internet access for several PCs is not possible. This requires a wireless router (e.g. a Gigaset SE366 WLAN).

)))

Internet

(((

DSL Modem

Gigaset SE365

To access the Internet, an appropriate DSL or cable connection is required in addition to a DSL or cable modem. You also need an Internet Service Provider for Internet access. Internet access is configured using the software from your Internet Service Provider or the Windows configurator. The Gigaset SE365 WLAN does not require any further configuration.

Introduction

Security functions

You can use various encryption methods and authentication methods (WPA2/WPA-PSK, WPA2/WPA, WEP, MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to your wireless LAN or to make data illegible for unauthorised parties. The security settings available to you depend on the Operating Mode you select and the components used in your local network. For further information please consult section "Setting data encryption" on page 38.

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 has a name (SSID) and requires encryption of the data traffic against the risk of eavesdropping. The access point requires authentication with an SSID and a key to allow a WLAN adapter to access the services.

WPS uses the encryption method WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. Devices with WPS automatically create an SSID and a WPA encryption key (pre-shared key) and synchronise each other.

WPS is not possible in networks using the WEP encryption method or WPA2/WPA authentication.

WPS provides two possibilities for registration:

u Via registration button

The access point (e.g. the Gigaset SE365 WLAN) has a WPS button, while Gigaset

devices have a button on the device’s back panel labelled Registration. After push-

ing this button, the device is ready to register a WLAN client (repeater or wireless

network adapter) for two minutes.

The first time this button is pushed, the device automatically creates an SSID and a

pre-shared key. If a client activates its WPS registration within these two minutes,

the security data is interchanged and a connection is established. It is ensured that

only one client is allowed to synchronise within the two minutes.

Introduction

Pushing the registration button

This procedure corresponds to the registration mode Push Button (default) on your

Gigaset SE365 WLAN.

Please note that a new SSID and pre-shared key will be generated when the registra-

tion button is pushed for the first time after each factory reset of the Gigaset SE365

WLAN. This means that the clients have to be registered again.

u Via Personal Identification Number (PIN)

The PIN offers higher security for registration. No other device (e.g. of the neigh-

bour) can log in unnoticed. A PIN is generated on one WLAN device, usually the

access point, which has to be entered on the other devices for registration. If a client

logs on with this PIN, the security data is synchronised.

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

Introduction

If the PIN of the device that you are just configuring is to be used in your network,

choose the registration mode Send own PIN.

However, if the device is to use the PIN of another device, choose the registration

mode Enter partner device PIN. WLAN adapters without WPS can also be set up manually, i.e.SSID and key must be

entered manually. The Gigaset SE365 WLAN provides WPS for all the three operation modes (Access point,

Repeater and Ethernet adapter). For further information, please consult the sections "Connecting wirelessly to a PC without WPS" on page 18 and "Activating and configuring WPS" on page 52.

Optimising the transmission quality

The transmission quality and range in your WLAN are influenced by different factors. Specific environmental conditions (e.g. concrete walls or metal wires in the walls, electrical devices such as microwaves, number of connected devices) can impair the transmission rate. To achieve sufficient quality for data transmission - particularly video data

- you need a transmission rate as high and steady as possible. The current transmission quality is shown on the user interface of your WLAN adapter or in the Windows status display for the wireless network connection.

Use the following settings to optimise the transmission quality:

u Arrange the WLAN devices more closely to each other, if possible, u Adjust the antennas at the optimum position u Choose a different channel, u Set the transmission rate to a fixed value, u Choose another frequency band.

You can operate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN within the 5-GHz or 2.4-GHz frequency band. Within the 2.4-GHz frequency band you can reach a larger range. In contrast, the 5-GHz frequency band is less susceptible to interferences. For information on the configuration options of your wireless network, see section "Wireless Network" on page 49.

Setting the operating mode

Repeater operating mode is set on delivery.

ì Choose the desired operating mode for your Gigaset SE365 WLAN via the Mode but-

ton on the back panel (see page 4). Press the button for at least two seconds to switch to the next operating mode. The Mode LED shows the operating mode currently set.

Connecting devices wirelessly via WPS

If you use WPS (see page 7) you can connect wirelessly to other WLAN devices quite simply via the registration button.

Repeater operating mode

ì Press the registration button on the device’s back panel to start WPS registration

with an access point.

ì Within two minutes, activate the registration button at the access point. The Gigaset

SE365 WLAN gets the security data for the access point (SSID and pre-shared key) and is thus registered.

First Steps

Access point operating mode

ì Press the registration button on the device’s back panel to start WPS registration. ì Within two minutes, activate WPS registration for the wireless network adapter on

the PC or the repeater. The client gets the security data for the Gigaset SE365 WLAN (SSID and pre-shared key) and is thus registered.

Ethernet adapter operating mode

ì Press the registration button on the device’s back panel to start the WPS registration

with an access point.

ì Within two minutes, activate the registration button at the access point. The Gigaset

SE365 WLAN gets the security data for the access point (SSID and pre-shared key) and is thus registered.

WLAN LED display during WPS registration:

On (300 s) WPS registration was successful. Flashing slowly WPS registration is in progress. Flashing quickly WPS registration was not successful. Flashing quickly

with interruption Only one client is allowed to register during a single registration phase. If the device

indicates by means of the WLAN LED that more than one client tried to register, and if the desired client has not registered successfully, an external device may have logged on to your WLAN. In this case you should change the WPA-PSK key as soon as possible (see page 39) and perform the WPS registration for the clients using a PIN (see page 52).

Additional options for WPS registration are described on page 52.

More than one client tried to register.

WPS registration order

To establish a router/access point – repeater – PC connection proceed as follows:

1. Register the repeater at the router/access point.

2. Register the PC’s wireless network adapter at the router/access point. For that purpose the PC must reside within the radio range of the router/access point.

3. Remove the PC from the range of the routers/access point and take it into the repeater’s range. The WLAN connection to the repeater will be established automatically after a while.

First Steps

Connecting to a wired network (LAN), a PC, a games console or a modem

If you don’t use WPS, we recommend that you first connect the device to a PC using an Ethernet cable. Depending on use, you will first have to make some settings via the browser-based configuration program of your Gigaset SE365 WLAN.

ì Plug one end of the Ethernet cable

into the socket marked LAN on the Gigaset SE365 WLAN.

ì Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable

into the device to which you wish to connect the Gigaset SE365 WLAN.

Depending on the particular application, this could be a router, a PC, a games console or a DSL/cable modem.

Connecting wirelessly to a PC without WPS

A wireless connection is made using a wireless network adapter that must be installed in your PC.

You define a radio network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID and setting the same encryption.

(((

)))

Assign the SSID of the Gigaset SE365 WLAN to the network adapters. The factory set SSID is ConnectionPoint. If the correct SSID has been entered in your PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless link will be established automatically. You should then configure encryption on the Gigaset SE365 WLAN and the wireless network adapter.

Please remember:

Before your PC can communicate via the Gigaset SE365 WLAN, you may have to perform the network configuration on the PC. For information please consult the document "Configuring the local network" on the product CD.

First Steps

Aligning the antenna

ì Align the antenna.

The antenna should be at right-angles to the communicating partner. The aerial can be turned sideways and backwards (away from the device).

The configuration and monitoring program for network adapters provides information about the quality of the connection. Try out the antenna positions to see which gives the best results for your location.

LED display on successful installation

Your Gigaset SE365 WLAN is now ready for use.

u The power LED on the front lights up. u The WLAN-LED flashes during start-up and is on continuously when a wireless con-

nection to the local network is established.

u The LAN LED lights up if you connect the Gigaset SE365 WLAN using an Ethernet

cable with a router or PC from your network.

The user interface

Your Gigaset SE365 WLAN comes supplied with factory settings that normally allow it to be used as a repeater without comprehensive adjustments being necessary. However, you still have to set up the connection to the access point whose range you wish to extend with the Gigaset SE365 WLAN. If you wish to use your Gigaset SE365 WLAN in a different operating mode (see page 4), you need to configure it.

If you use encryption in your wireless network, you must also use encryption and set the keys on the repeater.

You can use a browser-based configuration program that can be opened from a PC to carry out the configuration steps and to monitor operations. Detailed information is provided about the steps required. Necessary configuration steps are carried out automatically.

Please note:

u For initial configuration we suggest that you connect the Gigaset SE365 WLAN

with an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port of the PC on which you wish to make the configuration. The Ethernet card should also be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" (see document "Configuring the local network" on the product CD).

u To start the configuration interface, you may need to deactivate the HTTP proxy

for your browser (see page 79).

u If you use the Mozilla Firefox browser or if you use Internet Explorer together with

Windows XP Service Pack 2, you need to configure the popup blocker (see page 80).

Settings for the wireless network

Note:

In Access point operating mode you only need to configure the wireless network if you are not using the WPS function (1 click only) (see page 7 and page 18).

Your Gigaset SE365 WLAN allows you to roam your network. Roaming provides optimum connection quality and uninterrupted data traffic while you move around within the range of your network. Your PC automatically sets up a connection to the access point with the strongest signal without interrupting data traffic. The precondition for roaming is setting the same radio channel, the same SSID and the same IP subnet on all the network components.

Please note:

The network adapter of the PC you want to use to configure your Gigaset SE365 WLAN should be set to obtain its IP address automatically. If you use static IP addresses in your network, the IP address of your PCs must be in the same subnet as the IP address of your Gigaset SE365 WLAN. See the document "Configuring the local network" on the product CD.

Basic Setup Wizard

The screenshot shows the setting options for Repeater operating mode; in Access point operating mode, only Channel and SSID are displayed.

Channel

ì In Repeater operating mode you must set the channel of the access point whose

range you wish to increase with the repeater. As soon as you have selected an entry from the Wireless distribution system list,

the appropriate channel is set and the field is no longer editable.

ì In Access point operating mode, select the Automatic option.

SSID

The SSID (Service Set Identifier) defines your wireless network. Please remember that using the same SSID for several access points and repeaters

means that you cannot influence which access point your PC will use to set up a connection. This may cause problems if you wish to connect to a particular device for configuration and it has not been properly integrated into the rest of the network. You may not be able to reach it as your PC automatically sets up a connection with the strongest access point. In this case, move to the immediate vicinity of the device you want to connect to, or connect your PC directly to the device in question by means of an Ethernet cable.
