Wired local area network (Ethernet)

In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable. When the Siemens Gigaset SX762 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 SX762 WLAN dsl are connected using an Ethernet cable (CAT5). There is one supplied. You can obtain additional Ethernet cables from your retailer.

The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl allows all PCs to access the Internet simultaneously.

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 USB Adapter 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 SX762 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 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 SX762 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 SX762 WLAN dsl.

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 SX762 WLAN dsl

Linking wireless networks with the Internet

The Gigaset SX762 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.

Linking a wireless network to an Ethernet

Wireless local area networks can work easily together with existing Ethernet networks. If you wish to connect mobile stations to an existing wired network, you must group together all mobile stations into a wireless local area network in infrastructure mode.

(((

The Gigaset SX762 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 SX762 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 SX762 WLAN dsl

u Security functions

The Gigaset SX762 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 SX762

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

Internet. The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if it

has been requested from the local area network.

With the firewall, the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protec-

tion against hacker attacks. – Service filtering

nect your PC to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl at a later time.

ì Click Next >.

Security Setup Wizard

Setting up security functions for the wireless network

In the next step you can set up the encryption and authentication methods for your wireless network.

Wireless networks are even more susceptible to eavesdropping than wired networks. With conventional network adapters, an intruder only needs a device with a WLAN adapter (e.g. a notebook or a PDA [Personal Digital Assistant]) with an appropriately configured network card in order to eavesdrop on every communication made via a nearby wireless LAN.

The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl makes use of effective encryption methods to prevent unauthorised eavesdropping as far as possible.

You can use the following security mechanisms:

u WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK (page 42) u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 43)

We recommend that you use WPA2-PSK if it is supported by all components in your wireless network.

You will find further options for setting up data encryption and authentication in the Advanced Settings menu (page 69).

Security Setup Wizard

WPA2/WPA with pre-shared key (PSK)

WPA is a more advanced procedure than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic

keys, based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased security. The new standard WPA2 uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for encryption.

WPA-PSK is a special WPA mode for private users and users in small companies without

their own authentication server. After a certain period of time (Rekey interval), encryption keys are automatically generated with the pre-shared key, automatically changed ("rekeying") and authenticated between the devices.

Note:

Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a WPA-protected wireless network must also support WPA. Information about this can be found in the operating manual for your network adapter.

ì Select WPA2-PSK if WPA2 is supported by all components in the wireless network. ì Select WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK if some or all components in the wireless network only

support WPA.

ì Enter a key of your choice in the Pre-shared key field (min. 8 to max. 63 characters)

and confirm it by repeating the entry. You must set up the same pre-shared key for all wirelessly connected PCs. Use a combination of letters, digits and special characters.

ì To go to the next step, click Next >

Security Setup Wizard

WEP encryption

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption for radio signals in wireless networks and meets the IEEE 802.11 standard.

If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support the higher security standard WPA (page 42), we recommend that you activate WEP

Encryption.

You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the same keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl and all your wireless network adapters.

ì Select the Key length: 64 bits or 128 bits. ì Select the Input type, i.e. whether the key is to be entered manually or generated

automatically by means of a Passphrase.

Security Setup Wizard

Manual key entry

ì Select the Key type, Hex or ASCII.

If you select Hex as the key type you can use the characters 0 to 9 and A to F.

– With a 64-bit encryption depth, the key is 10 characters long. – With a 128-bit encryption depth, the key is 26 characters long. If you select ASCII as the key type, you can use the characters 0 to 9, A to Z, a to z

plus the special characters in the ASCII character set.

– With a 64-bit encryption depth, the key is 5 characters long. – With a 128-bit encryption depth, the key is 13 characters long.

ì Confirm the key by entering it again in the Confirm key field.

Generating a key by means of a Passphrase

ì Enter a Passphrase (up to 32 characters) and confirm it by entering it again. The key

is generated automatically.

Note:

u It is very important that you make a note of the key or passphrase. You will need

this information to configure the wireless network adapters properly.

u You have to change the WEP encryption in the wireless network adapters for the

connected PCs in the same way, otherwise they will not be given access to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl wireless network.

ì To go to the next step, click Next >

Security Setup Wizard

Access control within the wireless network

In this step you can specify which PCs will have wireless access to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl and hence to the LAN. Access control is based on the MAC address of the PC network adapters. You can enter the MAC addresses for the PCs manually or select these from the list of PCs that are currently logged in.

Access control is disabled by default. This means that all PCs that use the correct SSID can be logged in.

ì Next to the MAC address filter, select On to activate the MAC filter.

Entering MAC addresses manually

ì Enter the MAC address of the network adapter. You will find this address on the

underside of the device.

ì Enter the name of the PC. ì Click the Add button to add the entry to the list.

Selecting from the list of logged-in PCs

ì Select the required PC from the Known wireless clients list. All PCs that were

already entered manually on the router with the MAC address are displayed.

ì Click the Add button to add the selected PC to the list.

Security Setup Wizard

Note:

If you activate MAC access control, you must at least add the PC on which you are configuring the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl to the list. Otherwise, you will have no access to the user interface and will receive an appropriate error message.

If you have inadvertently denied all PCs access to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl, you have two options:

u You can completely reset the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl (page 20).

u You can connect a PC to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl using one of the LAN

connections (by cable). As MAC access control only affects PCs that are connected wirelessly, you can use this PC to change the configuration.

ì To go to the next step, click Next >

Saving settings

On the next screen you end the wizard and save the settings. You will be informed of any security risks that still exist.

ì Click Finish to end the wizard.

The settings will now be activated on the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl.

Note:

You must now configure the WEP or WPA key for the wireless network adapter of the PC that has been configured with other values. After this you can again wirelessly log on to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl.

ì In the Advanced Settings – Internet menu, select Firewall.

ì Click the required option. ì Click OK to apply the settings.

Attack Detection

If the firewall functions of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl are activated, the device monitors and limits access to incoming data traffic via the DSL connection with a function called "Stateful Packet Inspection" (SPI). This allows the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl to detect and prevent certain types of attack from the Internet, such as Denial-of-Service (DoS). DoS attacks are aimed at devices and networks with Internet connections. The aim is not so much to steal data as to paralyse the computer or network to such an extent that the network resources are no longer available. A typical hacker attack involves, for example, a remote computer acting in place of the paralysed device and receiving the data intended for the device.

You can use the Attack Detection function to change the standard firewall settings and arrange to be notified by e-mail about any attempted hacker attacks.

ì In the Advanced Settings – Internet – Firewall menu, select Attack Detection.

Configuring Advanced Settings

Configuring Advanced Settings

Setting up the NAT function

Note:

This function is only available if your service provider provides you with the NAT service and NAT service has been selected during Internet connection configuration (see page 35).

The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl comes equipped with the NAT (Network Address Translation) 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 con- text 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 be 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.

Port triggering is a special variant of port forwarding. Unlike port forwarding, the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl forwards the data from the port block to the PC which has previously sent data to the Internet via a certain port (trigger port). This means that approval for the data transfer is not tied to one specific PC in the network, rather to the port numbers of the required Internet service.

Where configuration is concerned, this means:

u You have to define a so-called trigger port for the application and also the protocol

(TCP or UDP) that this port uses. You then assign the public ports that are to be opened for the application to this trigger port.

u The router checks all outgoing data for the port number and protocol. If it identifies

a match of port and protocol for a defined trigger port, then it will open the assigned public ports and notes the IP address of the PC that sent the data. If data comes back from the Internet via one of these public ports, the router allows it through and

Configuring Advanced Settings

directs it to the appropriate PC. A trigger event always comes from a PC within the local network. If a trigger port is addressed from outside, the router simply ignores it.

Note:

u An application that is configured for port triggering can only be run by one user in

the local network at a time.

u As long as the public ports are open, they can be used by unauthorised persons to

gain access to a PC in the local network.

When the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl is supplied, the NAT function (Network Address Translation) 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.

You can use the NAT settings to configure the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl to carry out the following tasks:

u Set up the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl as a virtual server by configuring Port Forward-

ing (page 59),

u Open the firewall for selected PCs (page 60).

Note:

For the functions described below, the IP addresses of the PCs must remain unchanged. If the IP addresses of the PCs are assigned via the DHCP server of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl, you must select Never expires (page 65) as the setting in the Local Network menu entry for the Lease time or assign static IP addresses for the PCs.

You can activate or deactivate the NAT function (by default the NAT function is activated).

ì In the Advanced Settings – Internet menu, select Address Translation (NAT) and

Port Forwarding

If you configure Port Forwarding, the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl outwardly assumes the role of the server. It receives requests from remote users under its public IP address and automatically redirects them to local PCs. The private IP addresses of the servers on the local network remain protected.

Internet services are addressed via defined port numbers. The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl needs a mapping table of the port numbers to redirect the service requests to the servers that actually provide the service. Port Forwarding has been configured for this purpose.

ì To set up port forwarding for a service, select Port Forwarding from the Advanced

Settings – Internet – Address Translation (NAT) menu.

ì Select the required application from the Predefined applications list. ì Activate Enabled by ticking the check box. ì Click the Add button. The data for the required service is entered on the screen. ì Click the Delete button to delete an entry.

If the application you require is not in the list, you must manually enter the relevant data on the screen:

ì Select the protocol for the service you are providing from the Protocol list. ì Under Public port, enter the port number(s) of the service you are providing.

You c an use

– a single port number, – several port numbers separated by commas, – port blocks consisting of two port numbers separated by a dash, or – any combination of these (for example 80,90-140,180).

ì In the Local port field, enter the internal port number to which service requests are

to be forwarded.

You can only specify one port number here.

Configuring Advanced Settings

ì Enter the IP address of the PC that provides the service in the Local IP address field.

Example: The Web server has been configured to react to requests on port 8080. However, the requests from web sites enter the Web server via port 80 (standard value). If you add the PC to the forwarding table and define port 80 as the public port and port 8080 as an internal port, all requests from the Internet are diverted to the service with the port number 80 on the Web server of the PC you have defined with port 8080.

ì Comment: Enter a description that makes it easy to identify different entries. ì Activate Enabled by ticking the check box. ì Click the Add button to add a new entry. ì Click the Delete button to delete an entry. ì Click OK to apply the settings.

Opening the firewall for selected PCs (Exposed Host)

You can set up a client in your local network to be a so-called "exposed host" (DMZ). Your device will then forward all incoming data traffic from the Internet to this client. You can then, for example, operate your own Web server on one of the clients in your local network and make it accessible to Internet users.

As the exposed host, the local client is directly visible to the Internet and therefore particularly vulnerable to attacks (e.g. hacker attacks). Only activate this function if it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and other functions (e.g. port forwarding) are not adequate. In this case you should take appropriate measures for the clients concerned.

Note:

Only one PC per public IP address can be set up as an Exposed Host (see also the section entitled Port Forwarding on page 59).

ì To set up a PC as an exposed host, select Exposed Host from the Advanced Settings

– Internet – Address Translation (NAT) menu.

ì Enter the Local IP address of the PC that is to be enabled as an Exposed Host. ì Enter a name for the PC in the Comment field.

Configuring Advanced Settings

ì Activate Enabled by ticking the check box. ì Click the Add button to add the entry to the list. ì Click the Delete button to delete the entry from the list. ì Apply the settings by clicking OK.

Dynamic DNS

Any service you provide on the Internet can be accessed via a Domain name. Your router's Public IP address is assigned to this domain name. If your Internet service provider assigns the IP address for your local network's WAN connection dynamically, the IP address of the router can change. The assignment to the domain name will no longer be valid and your service will no longer be available.

In this case you must ensure that the assignment of the IP address to the domain name is updated regularly. This task is performed by the dynamic DNS service (DynDNS). You can use the DynDNS service to assign the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl an individual fixed domain name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.

Various Internet service providers offer a free DynDNS service. If you use the service of a DynDNS provider, your service can be reached on the Internet as a subdomain of one of the DynDNS service domains.

One possible service is DynDNS.org (http://www.DynDNS.org). If you have activated the device's DynDNS function, it will monitor its public IP address. When this changes, the device will open a connection to DynDNS.org and update its IP address there.

Note: You must have an account with the service you have chosen (e.g. DynDNS.org) before you can use the DynDNS function. Follow the instructions on the provider's web site. Then enter the user data when configuring the router.

To use the router's DynDNS function, select Dynamic DNS from the Advanced Settings – Internet menu.

ì Activate the Dynamic DNS function.

Configuring Advanced Settings

ì Select a service from the Service provider list. ì Enter Domain name, User name and Password. You will have received all the nec-

essary information when you registered with your Service provider.

ì Click OK to apply the settings.

Routing

Your Internet service provider can permit you to set up a number of connection services. The entire data traffic between your local network and the Internet uses the first connection service (route) by default. After setting up various connection services (page 48), you can change this default route and set up additional routes by assigning data traffic to other connection services. Rules are provided to assist you in doing this, which define criteria for deciding which data traffic is assigned to which connection service.

ì Activate or deactivate Policy-based routing for your Internet connection.

Configuring Advanced Settings

ì Choose the Policy type, i.e. how you would like to define the various routes for data

traffic between your local network and the Internet:

–Choose Specify interface to specify routes for clients in your local network

depending on the port used for connecting to your device (e.g. LAN port or wire-

less network connection). –Choose Specify IP address or Specify MAC address to specify routes for clients

depending on your IP address or MAC address.

If you choose Specify MAC address, you can select PCs from the list of known

clients.

ì Specify the routes for data traffic between your local network and the Internet:

–Enter the Connector, the local IP address or the MAC address of the clients in the

local network that are to use the respective route.

If you specify routes by entering the MAC address, you can also enter the device

name in order to identify the individual clients. – For each route, choose the Connection service that th e re spe ctive cl ien t is to use

to connect to the Internet.

A default route is used for all non-listed clients.

LAN configuration

You can use the LAN configuration to define an IP address for the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl and configure the DHCP server.

ì Select Advanced Settings – Local Network.

Defining the private IP address for the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl

On this screen you can change the device's IP address. The preset IP address is

192.168.254.254. This is the Private IP address of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl. 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 SX762 WLAN dsl can be reached from outside is assigned by the Internet service provider. The default Subnet mask for the local network administered by the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl is 255.255.255.0.

ì If you want to assign a different IP address to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl, enter

your chosen IP address in the boxes next to IP address.

Please make sure to 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).

Configuring Advanced Settings

We recommend that you use 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).

Notes:

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 SX762 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 SX762 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 SX762 WLAN dsl.

Note:

u If the DHCP server for the Gigaset SX762 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 entitled "Configuring

the local area network" on the CD-ROM.

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. ì If the DHCP server is active, you can define a Lease time. The least time indicates

how long the client may use the allocated IP configuration.

Note:

If you select Never expires, the IP addresses are never changed. Activate this option if you want to make NAT or firewall settings using the IP addresses of the PCs; otherwise you have to assign static IP addresses to these PCs.

ì Define the range of IP addresses the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl should use to auto-

matically assign IP addresses to the PCs. Define the First issued IP address and the Last issued IP address.

ì If you want to define a different Default gateway in your local area network instead

of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl, enter the IP address of this default gateways in the relevant boxes.

Configuring Advanced Settings

Entering the DNS server

DNS is a decentralised service that assigns PC names or Internet addresses (Domain

names) and IP addresses to one another. A DNS server must administer this information

for each server or for each LAN with an Internet connection.

Your Internet service provider will usually provide you with a DNS server that makes this assignment when an Internet connection is set up. If necessary, you can manually define the DNS server to be used for the Internet connections.

ì Enter the IP addresses for your preferred DNS servers (Preferred DNS server and

Alternate DNS server).

ì You can define the name of a domain (Windows workgroup) in the Domain name

field.

Assigning static IP addresses to individual PCs

Even if you have activated the DHCP server, you can still assign a static IP address to individual PCs (e.g. when setting up these PCs for NAT functions).

ì Enter the MAC address of the PC to which you want to assign a static IP address. ì Enter the IP address you wish to assign to the PC. ì Click the Add button to add the entry to the list. ì Click the Delete button to delete the entry from the list. ì Apply the settings by clicking OK.

Configuring wireless connections

If PCs are communicating wirelessly via the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl, you should also improve the security of your wireless network. This configuration is made via the Advanced Settings – Wireless Network menu. You can carry out the following here:

u Activate the wireless module of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl (for information see

below),

u Set up the channel and SSID (page 67), u Specify transmission mode and range settings for the wireless network (page 68), u Switch on the repeater function (Wireless Distribution System, WDS) (page 69), u Set up Encryption for wireless transmissions (page 69), u Restrict access to the LAN of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl (page 74) and

ì In the Advanced Settings menu, select Wireless Network.

ì Select On for the Wireless Network (default setting).

Devices can only log in wirelessly if the WLAN module of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl is activated.

You can now make the settings for the wireless network.

Channel

All clients in the network use the set radio channel for wireless data transfer. You can choose between various channels, depending on your current location.

ì Select Automatic so that the best channel for transmitting the data is used automat-

ically.

Configuring Advanced Settings

SSID

For the wireless network components to be able to communicate with one another, you must use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).

The default SSID for the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl is ConnectionPoint. For security reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast (for information see below).

Enter a character string of your choice. The SSID is case sensitive. It can contain up to 32 characters. Use a combination of letters, digits and special characters.

Note:

The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until you have entered the new SSID in them as well.

SSID broadcast

If thi s op tio n is ena ble d (d efa ult setting ), t he G iga set SX76 2 WL AN dsl wil l se nd t he SSID in all data transfers and the SSID of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl will be displayed on PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, hackers could use the SSID to detect your network.

If you deactivate SSID broadcast, the SSID of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl will not be displayed. This increases protection against unauthorised access to your wireless network. Make a note of the SSID. You will need it to log on to the PC.

To protect your wireless network, you should also enable encryption of data transmissions (page 69).

ì Select Off to deactivate SSID broadcast.

Tra n smissi o n mode

The IEEE 802.11g standard permits data transfer up to 54 Mbit/s, and the IEEE 802.11b standard up to 11 Mbit/s. Choose IEEE 802.11g only to ensure the best possible data transfer rates in your network. To operate clients with older wireless network adapters in your network, select IEEE 802.11b/g (mixed).

ì Select the required transmission mode for your wireless network.

Sending power

ì Select the required sending power for your device.

It is recommended that you select a sending power with a range to suit the spatial environment of your local network. A much greater range makes it easier to eavesdrop on your wireless data transfer.

XR (extended range)

By activating XR, wireless data transfer is also enabled in the border areas of your wireless network, though at a very slow data transfer rate. The switch to XR mode happens automatically if there is a weak signal and if the remote station is likewise XR-enabled.

ì Activate or deactivate XR for your wireless network to increase the range. ì Click OK to apply the settings.

Security settings in the wireless network

If you are sending data over radio channels, we recommend that you activate encryption (WEP or WPA) on the components in the wireless network. WPA offers greater security than WEP. You should therefore select WPA encryption if it is supported by all components in your wireless network.

WPA is a more efficient method than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic

keys, based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integration Protocol) offer increased security. The new WPA2 standard is based on AES.

WPA also supports the use of an authentication server.

ì In the Wireless Network menu, select Encryption & Authentication.

The following security mechanisms are currently available:

u WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK (page 70) u WAP2 and WPA2/WPA with authentication server (page 71) u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 72)

The standard of encryption available to you depends on the components in the wireless network. Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a WPA-protected wireless network must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA on your PC, read your network adapter's user guide. If all components support WPA2, select

WPA2-PSK. If you are using network adapters that only support WPA, select WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK. The entries described below are identical for both options.

Setting up Internet telephony (VoIP)

The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl allows you to make telephone calls via the Internet using an analogue telephone and also via the fixed network as usual. For Internet telephony (VoIP), you require access authorisation from your service provider and the relevant access data. To make calls, you have to enter this data along with other configuration settings under Advanced Settings in the Tel ephony - VoIP menu.

You can connect a base station for handsets or fax machines to the two telephone ports of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl analogue phone. In addition, you can set up additional extensions for Internet and fixed network calls using SIP clients (as WLAN handsets or in wired or wireless mode on PCs).

The menu comprises the following entries:

u VoIP: Enter the basic data from your service provider here (page 77). u Extensions: Set up the functions for internal extensions here (page 79). u Dialling plans: Specify numbers here that are to be dialled only via the fixed net-

work or only via the Internet. You can also enter a call-by-call provider for the fixed network (page 83).

Note:

If you do not specify any of your own dialling plans, then the default settings will be used as entered in the Telep hony menu under Dialing Plans. Emergency numbers are directed via the fixed network, while all other calls are made via the Internet.

Important information:

u You cannot make calls if there is a power failure, even the emergency numbers are

not accessible then.

u If VoIP is not set up, you will always make calls via the fixed network. The dialling

plans will not apply in this case (page 83).

u Check these dialling plans (page 83) and change them if you have agreed special

phone tariffs with another provider.

u Do not change the default setting for the Internet connection mode (= "permanent

connection") if you are using VoIP (page 35). You can only be called via VoIP if this setting is used. Remember, though, that this setting can result in high connection costs if you have agreed a time-based tariff with your Internet service provider.

ì If you want to configure additional VoIP accounts, click Add (page 78).

If you have configured VoIP settings in the Basic Setup Wizard the data for your VoIP account is shown in this line. You can edit this data or add new data for additional accounts.

ì You can generally accept the default settings for Voice Quality:

– Upstream rate: The upstream transmission rate (upstream bandwidth) varies

depending on the provider and DSL tariff and is normally much lower than the

transmission rate for downstream data traffic. If there is upstream data traffic at

the same time over the DSL line, the voice quality may not be optimum.

To ensure optimum voice quality, you can use the Upstream rate option to

define the bandwidth, which is to be used as a maximum for your VoIP connec-

tion. The default value is 1000 kbit/s and should suffice under normal

circumstances.

You can change these values if necessary, but you have to find out first how high

your upstream transmission rate is. Most providers supply tools for administering

u If connecting a device without its own power supply directly to the USB port,

please note that the power consumption must not exceed 500 mA.

u The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl supports USB V 2.0. Devices that support USB V 1.1

may also be connected.

ì Go to the Advanced Settings – USB menu.

ì Select the On option for USB. ì Click OK to activate the USB port.

Configuring Advanced Settings

File Server

The device's integrated FTP server allows you to manage folders and files in a connected USB mass storage (for example a USB stick or a USB hard disk) and make them available to all users in the local network and on the Internet.

Connect a USB data carrier to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl via the USB port.

Note:

The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl only supports hard disks with the FAT 32 file system. Only one partition is possible.

ì In the Advanced Settings – USB menu, select File Server.

ì Choose On for Local FTP service if you want to make data available in the local net-

work.

PCs in the network access the USB mass storage via FTP:

To do this, open the Internet browser and enter the following address:

ftp://192.168.254.254

If you have changed the IP address of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl (see page 64), enter the new address instead of 192.168.254.254.

Configuring Advanced Settings

ì Choose On for Remote FTP service if you also want to make data available on the

Internet.

Internet users can access your USB mass storage by entering the public IP address in the Internet browser. As Internet service providers often change this each time someone dials in, it is worth using dynamic DNS (page 61) in addition.

ì The Port field contains the port number via which local PCs and Internet users can

access your data. You should not change the default port number without very good reason. If you use a different port number, note that active FTP mode is then no longer possible. The FTP clients then have to be converted to passive FTP mode.

You can allow access for both FTP services generally or only for selected users with a user name and password.

ì For Access (read only), select whether all users are to be able to read your data in

Anonymous mode or whether only one Specified user is to be allowed.

ì Specify whether Access (full control) to your data is disabled or whether a

Specified user may read, edit and delete your data.

ì Enter the name in the Specified user field. Define different user names for the dif-

ferent types of access and directory.

ì Enter the password for the user and confirm it by entering it again in the field below.

Please note that this is case-sensitive. Avoid using proper names and obvious terms. Instead, use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters.

ì Click OK to apply the changes.

Configuring Advanced Settings

Print Server

Your device's integrated print server allows you to offer a USB printer to all users in the local network.

Notes:

u The Windows XP or Windows 2000 operating system is a prerequisite for using the

print server.

u Only printer functionality is supported in the case of multifunction devices (com-

bination of printer, scanner or fax). You can obtain additional information by contacting the hotline or else on the Internet (see Quick Start Guide).

If you wish to use this function, you must first connect a USB printer to your device's USB port. The device must be shown on the screen. You can check the status of the connection to the USB printer in the Advanced Settings – USB menu.

ì Activate your device's integrated print server.

Users can set up the connected printer by entering the current IP address of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl on the PC.

ì Click OK to apply the changes.

You will find information on setting up a printer connected to the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl in Section "Installing the printer port for network printers" on page 108.
