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 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.

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.

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.

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.

uSecurity 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.

uOffering 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.

Once the network settings have been configured for a PC in your local network (see page 23), you can then use that PC to configure the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl with the user interface of the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl. For the configuration we recommend Microsoft Internet Explorer V 6.0 or higher, or Mozilla Firefox V 1.0 or higher.

Note:

To start the configuration environment you may need to deactivate the HTTP proxy for your browser (see page 135 for Windows 98 SE/ME, page 118 for Windows XP and page 126 for Windows 2000).

If you use Windows XP Service Pack 2 you need to configure the popup blocker (see page 118).

If you use a firewall it must allow connection to the Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl. For details, refer to the user guide for your firewall. If necessary, deactivate the firewall while you configure your Gigaset SE555 WLAN dsl.
