The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl

The Siemens Gigaset SE555 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 enabling you to access the Internet easily.

You can connect your PC wirelessly to the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl and create a wireless local area network (WLAN). The device supports Super G technology making this possible. 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 standard or 64-/128-bit WEP.

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl allows several users to access the Internet simultaneously. A single user account can be shared if your Internet service provider permits this.

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl has an extensive range of functions but remains simple to handle. It can be configured and operational within a few minutes.

There are various ways in which you can set up the network using a Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl. You can

u set up a wired local area network (Ethernet) and allow the connected PCs access to

the Internet (see page 8).

u set up a wireless local area network (WLAN) and allow the connected PCs access to

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl

Wired local area network (Ethernet)

In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable. When the Siemens Gigaset SE555 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 SE555 WLAN dsl are connected using an Ethernet cable (CAT5). There is one supplied. You can obtain additional Ethernet cables from your retailer.

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl allows all PCs to access the Internet simultaneously.

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl

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 PC Card 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 SE555 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 range of the wireless network can be increased by using an access point.

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 SE555 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 SE555 WLAN dsl. This configuration is described in the quick guide enclosed with the router.

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 netwo rk on an "ad-hoc" basis, i.e. as and when requi red. 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.

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl

Linking wireless networks with the Internet

The Gigaset SE555 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.

Ethernet

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl has four Ethernet interfaces (LAN ports). Up to four PCs can be connected directly to these LAN ports.

All PCs can access the Internet via the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl.

Please remember:

You can also connect an Ethernet router to a LAN port to access a larger Ethernet. 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.

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl

Extending the wireless network coverage with a repeater

Using a repeater, for example 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 Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl.

Features and applications

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number of applications, such as:

u Internet access

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl allows several users to have Internet access via the

integrated ADSL modem.

– Since many DSL providers permit communication with end users via the PPPoE

protocol, the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl has an integrated Client for this protocol, so you no longer have to install this service on your PC.

– If your Internet service provider permits this, the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl sup-

ports 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.

u Setting up a local area network

The Gigaset SE555 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 108 Mbps. It complies with IEEE 802.11g standard and can work with all products that satisfy Standard IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g. The Super G technology allows for high transmission speed.

– Using a Gigaset SE555 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 server or printer. You can connect a USB hard disk or a printer to the USB interface of the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl and make them available to all users in your network.

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl supports DHCP for dynamic IP configuration of the

local area network, and DNS for domain name mapping.

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl

u Security functions

The Gigaset SE555 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 SE555 WLAN dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if it has been requested from the local area network.

With the firewall the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protection against hacker attacks.

– Service filtering and URL blocking

The Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl can filter Internet access. Here you determine which PCs may access which Internet services.

In addition, you can deactivate access to certain Internet domains and sites (URL blocking).

– Access control and encryption for the local area network

You can use various encryption methods and authentication methods (WEP, WPA/ WPA2, 802.1x MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to your wireless LAN or make data illegible to unauthorised parties.

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

SE555 WLAN dsl as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local area network.

– Static IP address

This allows you to release a PC in your local area network for unlimited access from the Internet. Please note that in this case your local area network will no longer be adequately protected against Internet attacks.

– You can use the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl to easily set up an FTP server and/or

HTTP server for access from the Internet.
