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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 SX763 WLAN dsl is ConnectionPoint. For security reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast.
If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will send the SSID in all data transfers and the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will be displayed on PCs that have a
wireless network adapter. In this case, unauthorised persons could use the SSID to gain
access to your network.
ì Enter a character string of your choice in the SSID field. 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 the new
SSID has also been entered.
ì Deactivate SSID broadcast and make a note of the SSID. You will need this to con-
nect your PC to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl at a later time.

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 SX763 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 48)
u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 48)
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 79).
47
Page 48
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 >
WEP encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption for radio signals in wireless networks
and meets the IEEE 802.11 standard.
48
Page 49
Security Setup Wizard
If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support
the higher security standard WPA (page 48), 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 SX763 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.
49
Page 50
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 SX763 WLAN dsl wireless network.

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.

access to the user interface and will receive an appropriate error message.
If you have inadvertently denied all PCs access to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl,
you have two options:
u You can completely reset the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl (page 21).
u You can connect a PC to the Gigaset SX763 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

Configuring Advanced Settings
Attack Detection
If the firewall functions of the Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 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.
ì Select the security level for the firewall:
–The Medium default level offers high security and hardly limits functionality of

ì Click OK to apply the settings.
Setting up the NAT function
The Gigaset SX763 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.

Configuring Advanced Settings
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 SX763 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
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 SX763 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 SX763 WLAN dsl to carry out the
following tasks:
u Set up the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl as a virtual server by configuring Port Forward-
ing (page 67),
u Open the firewall for selected PCs (page 69).
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 SX763 WLAN dsl, you must select Never expires (page 74) as the setting in
the Local Network menu entry for the Lease time or assign static IP addresses for the
PCs.
66

Configuring Advanced Settings
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
then select the required option.
Port Forwarding
If you configure Port Forwarding, the Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 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 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 can 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.
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.

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 67).
ì To set up a PC as an exposed host, select Exposed Host from the Advanced 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 55), 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.
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.

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 SX763 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.

Defining the private IP address for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
On this screen you can change the device's IP address. The preset IP address is
192.168.2.1. This is the Private IP address of the Gigaset SX763 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
SX763 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 SX763
WLAN dsl is 255.255.255.0.
ì If you want to assign a different IP address to the Gigaset SX763 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).
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.
73
Page 74
Configuring Advanced Settings
The Subnet mask specifies how many address parts of the IP address must be iden-
tical for all network components (including routers).
Note:
New settings can only be made after the Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 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
SX763 WLAN dsl.
Note:
u If the DHCP server for the Gigaset SX763 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 assi gn 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 SX763 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 SX763 WLAN dsl, enter the IP address of this default gateways in the
relevant boxes.
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).

Configuring wireless connections
If PCs are communicating wirelessly via the Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 WLAN dsl (for information see
below),
u Set up the channel and SSID (page 77),
u Specify transmission mode and range settings for the wireless network (page 77),
u Switch on the repeater function (Wireless Distribution System, WDS)(page 78),
u Set up Encryption for wireless transmissions (page 79),
u Restrict access to the LAN of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl (page 85) and
ì In the Advanced Settings menu, select 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.
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 SX763 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 this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will send the SSID
in all data transfers and the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 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 79).
ì Select Off to deactivate SSID broadcast.
Tra nsmiss ion mode
This function is only shown in the window if the Super G transmission mode is deactivated (page 78).
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).

Super G (108 Mbit/s)
With the help of channel bundling, the Super G transmission mode enables wireless
da ta transf er up to 108 Mbps. Th e chan nel fo r wireless data transfer cannot be changed.
You can only use Super G if this function is supported by at least one client in your wireless network. For the best possible data transfer rates, all clients in your LAN should support Super G.
Please remember:
If you activate Super G as the transmission mode, but it is not supported by all
components in your wireless network, then for technical reasons the transfer rate in
the network may be significantly lower than the possible maximum of 108 Mbit/s.
ì Select Dynamic to use Super G (108 Mbit/s) for your wireless network to increase
the data transfer rate. You have a choice of two modes.
In the default setting, Super G (108 Mbit/s) is deactivated.

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 80)
u WAP2 and WPA2/WPA with authentication server (page 81)
u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 82)
79
Page 80
Configuring Advanced Settings
WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK
WPA with pre-shared key (WPA-PSK)
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.
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.
ì Select the required option in the Security field.
ì Enter a key in the Pre-shared key field (up to 32 characters) and confirm it by enter-

WPA and WPA2 with authentication server
In large networks (e.g. in companies) WPA enables the use of an additional authentication service. In this case, user access is controlled by user accounts and passwords, in
addition to WPA encryption. A RADIUS server acts as an authentication server. You can
select the new WPA2 standard if it is supported by all components in your wireless net-
work. Select WPA2 / WPA if you are using devices that only support WPA.

Setting up Internet telephony (VoIP)
The Gigaset SX763 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 Teleph ony - VoIP menu.
You can connect a base station for handsets or fax machines to the two telephone ports
of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl analogue phone. In addition, you can set up additional
extensions for Internet and fixed network calls using SIP clients (as WL AN handsets or in
wired or wireless mode on PCs).
The menu comprises the following entries:
u VoIP settings: Enter the basic data from your service provider here (page 87).
u Extensions: Set up the functions for two extensions here (page 89).
u Dialling rules: Specify numbers here that are to be dialled only via the fixed network
or only via the Internet. You can block numbers completely (e.g. 0190 numbers) or
enter a call-by-call provider for the fixed network (page 93).
Note:
If you do not specify any of your own dialling rules, 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
rules will not apply in this case (page 93).
u Check these dialling rules (page 93) and change them if you have agreed special
phone tariffs with another provider.

Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, is somewhat different to that for the SIP extensions. The latter
must be VoIP telephones, which are connected in wired or wireless mode to the Gigaset
SX763 WLAN dsl, or PCs with a SIP client, which are connected to the Gigaset SX763
WLAN dsl.
ì In the Advanced Settings – Telephon y menu, select Extensions.

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 SX763 WLAN dsl via the USB port.
Note:
The USB interface of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl supplies 100 mA of power.
Some hard disks, however, need more power. In this case the device must have its
own mains adapter.
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://192.168.2.1
If you have changed the IP address of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl(see page 72),
enter the new address instead of 192.168.2.1.
ì Choose On for Remote FTP service if you also want to make data available on the
Internet.
96
Page 97
Configuring Advanced Settings
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 71) in addition.
For your security, data may only be published on the Internet if it is stored in the
\gigaset_ftp directory. This directory is created automatically on the connected USB
mass storage when the FTP server is activated.
ì You can change the Port via which local PCs and Internet users may access your
data, for example to hide your data and protect it from unauthorised users.
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.

print server.
u Not all functions may be supported by the print server in the case of special print-
ers, especially multifunction devices (combination 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.
