The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl

The Siemens Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl is a powerful but simple communications device for connecting your PC or local area network (LAN) to the Internet (DSL). It contains an integrated ADSL modem enabling you to access the Internet easily.

You can connect your PC wirelessly to the Gigaset SX553 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 SX553 WLAN dsl also offers the functions of a PABX for Internet telephony (VoIP) and fixed-network telephony allowing you to connect up to two conventional analogue terminals. Using these analogue phones, you can make calls via the Internet or via an existing analogue or ISDN phone line.

The Gigaset SX553 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, the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl is a convenient and simple solution.

Windows 98 SE

There are various ways in which you can set up the network using a Gigaset SX553 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 Internet (see page 9).

u set up a local area network comprising wireless and wired network components (see

page 11).

The Gigaset SX553 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 SX553 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 SX553 WLAN dsl are connected using an Ethernet cable (CAT5). There is one supplied. You can obtain additional Ethernet cables from your retailer.

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl allows all PCs to access the Internet simultaneously.

The Gigaset SX553 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), e.g. a Gigaset USB Adapter 108.

We generally differentiate between two types of wireless network:

u Infrastructure mode u Ad-hoc mode

Infrastructure mode

The infrastructure mode connects wireless and wired networks with one another. In addition to the mobile stations, the infrastructure mode needs an access point such as the Gigaset SX553 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 SX553 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 SX553 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 wirelessl y for m the network o n an "ad-hoc " basis, i.e. as and when requ ired. 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 SX553 WLAN dsl

Linking wireless networks with the Internet

The Gigaset SX553 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 SX553 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 SX553 WLAN dsl.

Please note:

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.

Internet telephony and connecting analogue phones

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl allows fixed network and Internet telephony (VoIP) via DSL to be combined for two analogue phones.

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. You can also use your analogue or ISDN 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 Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl gives you the complete freedom of choice at any time.

Internet

Fixed network

You can choose whether to connect two analogue phones or base stations for cordless phones to the two phone ports. If you have an ISDN port, you can configure this connection via the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl configuration program.

You will need the relevant access data for your VoIP provider to configure Internet telephony.

You can, of course, also continue to use Internet telephony on one of the PCs connected to the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl. To do this, the PC must be equipped with a loudspeaker and a microphone or headset and a full duplex sound card, and have the necessary software installed.

Please note that you can only be reached via the Internet (VoIP) when an active Internet connection is established. You can still be called via the fixed network, however. When a call is made, the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl automatically dials the fixed network if the Internet connection is deactivated or the VoIP port is not registered.

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number of applications, such as:

u Internet access

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl allows several users to have Internet access via the

integrated ADSL modem.

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

tocol, the Gigaset SX553 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 SX553 WLAN dsl sup-

ports shared Internet access for up to 252 users. So 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 SX553 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 via a radio interface with a transmission speed of up

to 108 Mbps. It complies with Standard IEEE 802.11g 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 SX553 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 on the network, such as a file server or printer. You can connect a USB memory or a printer to the USB interface of the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl and make them available to all users in your network.

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl supports DHCP for dynamic IP configuration of the

local area network, and DNS for domain name mapping.

u Connecting phones and Internet telephony

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl permits

– Internet telephony via the DSL port,

– fixed network telephony via the analogue or ISDN port,

– the connection of two analogue phones for Internet telephony and fixed network

calls, – the connection of an answering machine or fax. Data transfer for VoIP is carried out 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 on the fixed network.

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl

u Security functions

The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl offers comprehensive security measures: – Firewall protection against unauthorised access from the Internet

All the PCs in the local area network use the Public IP address of the

Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl's for their Internet connections, which makes them

'invisible' on the Internet. The Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl only allows access from

the Internet if it has been requested from the local area network.

With the firewall the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protec-

tion against hacker attacks. – Service filtering and URL blocking

The Gigaset SX553 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 wire-

less 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 SX553 WLAN dsl as a virtual server without permitting further access to

the local area network. – DMZ

This allows you to release a PC on your local area network for unlimited access to

the Internet. Please note that in this case your local area network will no longer

be adequately protected against Internet attacks. – With the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl, you can easily set up an FTP server and/or

HTTP server for access from the Internet.
