The Gigaset SX761 dsl

The Gigaset SX761 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 (ADSL /ADSL2+) enabling you to access the Internet easily.

The Gigaset SX761 dsl also offers the functions of a PABX for Internet telephony (VoIP).
You can connect up to two traditional analogue terminals and then use these analogue
phones to make calls via the Internet. In addition, you can operate SIP clients (PCs with
appropriate software) as PABX extensions and therefore also make calls via the Internet.

The Gigaset SX761 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 at the lowest possible cost, the
Gigaset SX761 dsl is a convenient and simple solution.

or – depending on the hardware type of your device – with the registration (Scan) but­ton on the back panelThe Gigaset SX761 dsl has an extensive range of functions but
remains simple to use. It can be configured and operational within a few minutes.

Local area networks with Gigaset products

You can use the Gigaset SX761 dsl to set up a local area network, for example a home
network. All PCs in this network can communicate with each other and have access to
the Internet.

Wired local area network (Ethernet)

In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable.
When the Gigaset SX761 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 SX761 dsl are connected using an Ethernet cable (CAT5). There is one supplied.
You can obtain additional Ethernet cables from your retailer.

The Gigaset SX761 dsl allows all PCs to access the Internet simultaneously.

Please remember:

You can also connect an Ethernet router or switch 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 SX761 dsl allows a Internet telephony (VoIP) over DSL for two analogue tel­ephones and four other wired VoIP telephones or SIP clients.

You can make use of the low-cost call rates of Internet telephony without any additional
equipment.

8

The Gigaset SX761 dsl

Internet

You can choose whether to connect any two analogue phones, a fax machine or an
answering machine to the phone ports. You can configure these ports using the Gigaset
SX761 dsl.

The PABX of the Gigaset SX761 dsl allows you to connect PCs with SIP clients (software
for Internet telephony) as extensions. You can use all functions of your PABX for Internet
telephony also.

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

Please remember:

You can only be reached via the Internet (VoIP) when an active Internet connection
is established.

u Via registration button

The access point (e.g. the Gigaset SX761 dsl) has a registration button. The registra-

tion button is available either:

– as hardware: a specific button (labelled Scan) is provided on the device’s back

panel.

– as software: registration can be started via the WPS Registration page of the

user interface.

In the description that follows, the term registration button refers to both the Scan

button and the corresponding function in the user interface.

Depending on your hardware version, WPS registration may only be possible via the

user interface.

button Features and applications

The Gigaset SX761 dsl's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number of
applications.

Depending on your device, some of the features may differ from the description in this
instruction manual.

u Internet access

The Gigaset SX761 dsl allows several users to have Internet access via the integrated

ADSL /ADSL2+ modem.

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

protocol, the Gigaset SX761 dsl has an integrated Client for this protocol, so you
no longer have to install this service on your PC.

– The Gigaset SX761 dsl supports shared Internet access for multiple 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 SX761 dsl offers the following possibilities:

– Four devices connected via Ethernet ports with a transmission speed of 10 or

100 Mbps (with automatic recognition).

The Gigaset SX761 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 SX761 dsl permits

– Internet telephony via the DSL port.

– Connection of two analogue phones for Internet telephony and for fixed network

calls as well as connection of wireless SIP phones and PCs with SIP clients for

Internet telephony.
– Connection of an answering machine or fax.
Data transfer for VoIP is handled by the SIP protocol with high connection and voice

quality.

u Security functions

The Gigaset SX761 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 SX761

dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet.

The Gigaset SX761 dsl only allows access from the Internet if this has been

requested from within the local area network.

With the firewall, the Gigaset SX761 dsl also offers comprehensive protection

against hacker attacks.
– Service filtering

The Gigaset SX761 dsl can filter Internet access. Here you determine which PCs

may access which Internet services.

10

The Gigaset SX761 dsl

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

SX761 dsl as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local area

network.
– DMZ (Exposed Host)

This allows you to release a 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.
