The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
The Siemens Gigaset SX763 WLAN 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.
You can connect your PC wirelessly to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and create a wireless
local area network (WLAN). The device supports Super G technology. 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 SX763 WLAN dsl also offers the functions of a PABX for Internet telephony
(VoIP) and fixed network telephony. You can connect up to two traditional analogue terminals and then use these analogue phones both to make calls via the Internet or also
via an existing analogue telephone line. In addition, you can operate SIP clients (wireless SIP telephones and PCs with appropriate software) as PABX extensions and therefore also make calls via the Internet or fixed network.
The Gigaset SX763 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 at the lowest possible cost,
the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is a convenient and simple solution.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl has an extensive range of functions but remains simple to
use. It can be configured and operational within a few minutes.

Wired local area network (Ethernet)
In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable.
When the Siemens Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 WLAN dsl are connected using an Ethernet
cable (CAT5). There is one supplied. You can obtain additional Ethernet cables from your
retailer.
The Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 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 SX763 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 SX763 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 wireless ly form the netwo rk on a n "ad- hoc" ba sis, i.e. a s 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.

Linking wireless networks with the Internet
The Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 WLAN dsl
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 SX763 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 SX763 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 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 SX763 WLAN dsl.

PCs to be connected in a wireless local area network via a repeater must be equipped
with a wireless network adapter or a USB adapter.

Internet telephony and connecting analogue phones
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl allows a combination of analogue fixed network telephony and Internet telephony (VoIP) over DSL for two analogue telephones and four other
wired or wireless VoIP telephones or SIP clients.
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. In addition,
you have the option of using your analogue 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 SX763 WLAN dsl gives you
complete freedom of choice at any time.

The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
Features and applications
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number
of applications, such as:
u Internet access
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN 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 SX763 WLAN dsl has an integrated Client for this protocol,
so you no longer have to install this service on your PC.
– The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl supports shared Internet access for up to 252 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 SX763 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 connected via a radio interface with a transmission
speed of up to 108 Mbps. It complies with IEEE 802.11g standard and can work
with all products that satisfy Standard IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g. Use of Super G
technology allows for high transmission speed
– Using the Gigaset SX763 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 in the
network, such as a file server or printer. You can connect a USB hard disk or a
printer to the USB interface of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and make them available to all users in your network.
The Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 WLAN dsl permits
– Internet telephony via the DSL port.
– Fixed network telephony via the analogue 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. 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.
14
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
u Security functions
The Gigaset SX763 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 SX763
WLAN dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the
Internet. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if it
has been requested from the local area network.
With the firewall, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protec-
tion against hacker attacks.
– Service filtering
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl can filter Internet access. Here you determine which
PCs may access which Internet services.
– 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
SX763 WLAN 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.
– You can connect a USB hub to the USB port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and
thereby at the same time provide a printer and a storage medium for all clients in
your local area network.
