Features and applications
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number
of applications:
Internet access
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl allows several users access to the Internet simultaneously.
u Since many ADSL providers permit communication with end users via the PPPoA pro-
tocol, the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has an integrated client for this protocol. It is
therefore no longer necessary to install this service on your PC.
u The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl supports shared Internet access for up to 253 users.
This means several users in your network can surf the Internet simultaneously, all
using the same Internet account.
u The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl allows the connection of a set-top box which enables
you to watch Internet television (IPTV).
Setting up a local area network
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl offers the following possibilities:
u Up to four devices (PCs, a Hub or Switch) connected via Ethernet ports with a trans-
mission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps (with automatic recognition).
u Up to 253 mobile terminals connected via a wireless 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 WLAN Standard IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g.
u Using the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl makes it easy to set up a network at home or in
small offices. For example, users can exchange data in the network.
u The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl supports DHCP for dynamic IP configuration of the
local area network and DNS for domain name mapping.

Security functions
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl offers comprehensive security measures:
u Firewall protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
With the firewall, the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl offers comprehensive protection
against hacker attacks.
u Network Address Translation (NAT)
All PCs in the local area network use the Public IP address of the Gigaset SE587 WLAN
Schablone 2004_08_26
dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The
Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if this has been
requested from within the local area network.
u DMZ (Exposed Host)
This allows you to release one 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 Service filtering and domain blocking
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl can filter Internet access. Here you determine which
PCs may access which Internet services.
Additionally you can disable access to certain Internet domains (URL blocking).
u Encryption for the wireless network
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is delivered with a preset individual encryption
(WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK with pre-shared key). You will find the corresponding informa-
tion on the label on the bottom of the device. Your wireless network is therefore pro-
tected against unauthorised access.
If there are wireless network adapters of your PCs that do not support this encr yption
method, you can use another encryption method (WEP) to prevent unauthorised
access to your wireless LAN or to make data illegible to unauthorised parties (see
page 23).
Configuring the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl
Having performed the installation steps on the set-up CD, your Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl
is now ready for use. No further configuration is normally required.
Your device is also preconfigured with individual security settings (SSID and encryption)
for secure wireless operation.
However, if you want to change specific configuration settings or make advanced configuration changes to your Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, a browser-based configuration
user interface is provided which can be operated via your Internet browser. This is
described from page 10 onwards.
In addition, the user interface provides detailed status information on operation and
configuration and offers helpful administration options. These are described in the
chapters "Status information" on page 12 and "Administration" on page 30.

Defining the private IP address for the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl
On this screen you can change the device's Private IP address. The preset IP address is
192.168.1.1. This is the address under which the device can be reached in the local network. It can be freely assigned from the block of available addresses. The IP address
under which the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl can be reached from outside is assigned by
Tiscali. The default Subnet mask for the local network administered by the Gigaset
SE587 WLAN dsl is 255.255.255.0.
ì If you want to assign a different IP address to the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, enter
Schablone 2005_05_02
your chosen IP address in the fields next to Local IP address.
Make sure you note which subnet mask is set when assigning the IP address. If you
are retaining the default subnet mask, the first three parts of the IP address must be
identical for all network components (including routers).
We recommend using an address from a block that is reserved for private use. This
address block is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.255.254.
ì Adjust the Subnet Mask if necessary.
The Subnet mask specifies how many address parts of the IP address must be iden-
tical for all network components (including routers).
Note:
u You can only change the last part of the subnet mask at the moment (even if fur-
ther parts are displayed as editable).
u New settings can only be made after the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has been
rebooted. If necessary reconfigure the IP address on your PC (including one that
is statically assigned) so that it matches the new configuration.
Configuring the DHCP server
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has a DHCP server for which the factory setting is active.
Consequently, the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the Gigaset
SE587 WLAN dsl.
Note:
u If the DHCP server for the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is activated, you can configure
the network setting on the PC so that the option Obtain an IP address automatically is set up. For further information, refer to the section "Local network config-
uration" on page 36.
u If you deactivate the DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the
PCs that use the network settings.
ì To activate the DHCP server, select ON.
If the DHCP server is active, you can define the IP address range the DHCP server should
use for assigning IP addresses to the clients.
ì Select YES for Use Default Range if you want the device to assign IP addresses in
the range 1-254 (if the router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1 the addresses from
192.198.1.2 - 192.198.1.254 are used).

Applications and Gaming
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl comes equipped with the NAT (Network Address Transla-
tion) function. With address mapping, several users in the local network can access the
Internet via one or more public IP addresses. All the local IP addresses are assigned to
the router's public IP address by default.
One of the characteristics of NAT is that data from the Internet is not allowed into the
local network unless it has been explicitly requested by one of the PCs in the network.
Most Internet applications can run behind the NAT firewall without any problems. For
example, if you request Internet pages or send and receive e-mails, the request for data
from the Internet comes from a PC in the local network and so the router allows the data
through. The router opens precisely one port for the application. A port in this context
is an internal PC address, via which the data is exchanged between the Internet and a
client on a PC in the local network. Communicating via a port is subject to the rules of a
particular protocol (TCP or UDP).
If an external application tries to send a call to a PC in the local network, the router will
block it. There is no open port via which the data could enter the local network.
Some applications, such as games on the Internet, require several links, i.e. several ports
so that the players can communicate with each other. In addition, these applications
must also be permitted to send requests from other users on the Internet to users in the
local network. These applications cannot run if Network Address Translation (NAT) has
been activated.
Using port forwarding (the forwarding of requests to particular ports) the router is
forced to send requests from the Internet for a certain service, for example a game, to
the appropriate port(s) on the PC on which the game is running.
When the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is supplied, the NAT function is activated, i.e. all IP
addresses of PCs in the local network are converted to the router's public IP address
when accessing the Internet.
