Information about the optional outdoor antenna
Schablone 2007_10_19
Information on Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets the limits for protecting the health of the public from the effecs of
exposure to electromagnetic fields when it is operated in connection with the designated antenna(s) like described in the user manual.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to emission from electromagnetic fields recommended
by international guidelines from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines for the protection of the public and establish permitted levels of exposure to electromagnetic radiation for the population. The guidelines were confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure limit employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted in all frequency bands with the device transmitting at its highest
power level with minimum possibledistance to the body. The actual SAR level of the
device during operation with the designated antenna(s) is below the maximum value
and is additonally decreased by a distance to the device. This is because the device is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
enable seamless network connection.
Information about the optional outdoor antenna
Only one of the antennas listed on page 13 must be used.
The outdoor antenna must be installed and put into service by a qualified
electrician.
ì Only commence the outdoor work once you have taken all the necessary steps to make the location safe.
Be sure to observe the safety instructions.
Wall duct:
To connect the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX to the outdoor antenna, the antenna cable must
be fed through the wall to the outside of the building. It must be possible to make a suitable wall or window duct at or near the location of the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX.
Setting up the antenna mast:
There should not be any obstructions (walls, trees etc.) in front of the antenna.

Information about the optional outdoor antenna
The best results will be obtained if the Siemens
outdoor antenna is in sight of the WiMAX base
station (cf. Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
If a line of sight is not possible, you can reflect the
radio waves off neighbouring buildings. To do
this, direct the antenna at the building it is to
reflect off and not at the base station (cf. Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
The antenna mast must be structurally secure. Check how secure the various attachments are.
The antenna mast must be within reach of the cable. Ideally, the antenna cable should
be protected outside (from frost, sun, unauthorised and mechanical influences etc.).
In particular, make sure the antenna mast has sufficient load capacity. If you are mounting the mast on the roof, make sure the roof is fully sealed again afterwards.
Lightning protection
The antenna mast should be positioned near a lightning conductor. A suitable lightning
conductor must be installed where necessary.
The Siemens outdoor antenna is not designed to be struck directly by lightning and
must be protected accordingly. The antenna must therefore be mounted in areas that
are protected against lightning (Lightning Protection Zone 0B). The corresponding separation distance (IEC 62305) must be complied with.
Earthing and lightning protection work may only be carried out by electricians specifically qualified for such work.

Schablone 2007_10_19
Information about the optional outdoor antenna
The appropriate earthing clamps must be used to create an equipotential bonding
between a cable shield and an equipotential bonding bar that complies with regulations.
Please observe the standard DIN VDE 0855-300 and find out more on the Internet at
http://www.dehn.de/www_DE/PAGES_D/service/down/blitzplaner.html (German)
Or
http://www.dehn-usa.com/dehn-Application-Guides-pubcid1.html (English)
Antenna cable and antenna connection:
It must be possible to connect the outdoor antenna to the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX by
means of an antenna cable.
Please note that the antenna connection must be protected from the impact of rain and
other weather effects.
Use cable clamps to attach the cable to the mast. Please note that the cable must be
long enough to turn the antenna at a later stage.
Antenna alignment:
When aligning the antenna, we recommend asking a second person to run the connection wizard on the PC and to check the reception quality on the screen; see Chapter
"Connection wizard" on page 26.
Aligning the antenna using acoustic signals
If neither you nor the assistant are able to check the signal strength on
screen while the antenna is being aligned, you can monitor it via a radio
system. To do this you will need, for example, two cordless phones,
mobile phones or radio devices:
ì Activate Tone on on the configuration PC.
ì Establish an internal connection between the two handsets and
switch on the loudspeaker on both devices.
ì Leave one handset next to the configuration PC and carry the other
with you (belt clip).
You will now be informed of the signal strength by means of beeps. The
closer together the sequence of beeps, the better the connection quality.
After installation:
Tighten all screw connections to the torques listed in the installation instructions.
Secure the antenna cable with cable clamps and cable ties. The cable must be protected
from exposure to pressure and tension.

Establishing a radio connection with a WiMAX network
First scan the frequencies with the connection wizard. This establishes an initial radio
connection with a WiMAX network.
ì Click on the Connection Wizard tab.
The connection wizard will be opened.
ì Click Next.
ì Choose whether you wish to operate your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX with an external
antenna.
– Click in the upper option field if you are using the antenna integrated in the
Gigaset SE681 WiMAX. Your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX is already standing by the
window with the cable connections turned inwards and is connected.
– Click in the lower option field if you received the Siemens outdoor antenna
together with your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX. The outdoor antenna must already
have been installed and connected by a qualified electrician.
ì Click Next.
ì If you are using the antenna integrated in the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX, align it
towards the window. If you are using the outdoor antenna, align the antenna later.
Click Next.
The frequency scan begins automatically. A progress bar indicates how far the scan has
progressed. In addition, you will see in the Remaining time area roughly how much
time is still needed for the complete scan. Depending on how your Gigaset SE681
WiMAX has been preconfigured by your provider, the scan can last several minutes
before the first radio connection is established.
During the scan, the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX or antenna must not be
moved; this is the only way to guarantee a complete scan with the current antenna alignment.
As soon as a radio connection has been established with a WiMAX network, the scan will
end. The progress bar is fully filled in and the display in the Remaining time area jumps
to 0 seconds.
ì If the scan has been successful, read on in Chapter "Precisely aligning the antenna"
on page 29.

If the scan has not been successful:
Both the integrated antenna and the Siemens outdoor antenna are directional antennae; this means that they must at least be pointing roughly in the direction of a WiMAX
network base station in order to establish a radio connection.
If the scan was unsuccessful, align the antenna differently:
If you are using the antenna integrated in the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX:
ì Turn your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX by approx. 60°.
Correct:
Incorrect:
ì Click on Ok to restart the scan.
You must not move the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX during the scan. You
should therefore always place the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX upright and on
a level surface directly by the window.
If the scan has still not been successful with the alignment changed:
ì Place the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX by a window that faces a different direction.
ì If necessary, repeat the scan with all possible locations and alignments.
ì If necessary, ask your provider for the location of the nearest WiMAX network base
station and select a location for your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX that points towards this
base station.
The best results will be obtained if the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX is in sight of a WiMAX network base station.
If a line of sight is not possible, you can reflect the radio waves off neighbouring buildings. To do this, direct the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX at the building it is to reflecting off and
not at the WiMAX network base station.

Precisely aligning the antenna
Once you have established a wireless connection to a WiMAX network, align your
Gigaset SE681 WiMAX or antenna precisely using the connection wizard.
Take extra care to align the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX or Siemens outdoor
antenna precisely. The better the connection quality, the faster your
Internet connection will be in the future.
To obtain precise alignment of the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX or antenna, turn it a little at a
time. If you use the antenna integrated in the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX, you can also move
the device a little at a time to optimise the reception quality.
ì When a connection to a WiMAX network has been established, click on Next to
make fine adjustments to the antenna.
The quality of the radio connection is represented graphically by a signal strength bar.
The longer the bar is, the better the radio connection. Try to obtain the best possible
radio connection setting.
ì If you are using the antenna integrated in the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX:
Memorise the current location and alignment of your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX, so that
you can restore it if the connection is broken.
ì If you are unable to check the display of the signal strength on the screen while
aligning the antenna:
Activate the Audible feedback option to obtain information about the signal
strength by means of beeps. The closer together the sequence of beeps, the better
the connection quality.
ì Turn or move the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX or turn the antenna a little at a time and
note the signal strength display. Use this to move the antenna to the position with
the best signal strength.
In addition to the beeps and on-screen bar graph you can also determine the quality of
the connection by how many of the 4 LEDs indicating signal strength are lit up on the
device (RSSI 1–RSSI 4). The more LEDs that light up, the better the connection quality.
If you have turned your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX or the antenna too far, the connection
might break. You should then return to the alignment that provided a connection and
repeat the procedure for establishing a connection to the WiMAX network. Then make
any fine adjustments step by step.
When your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX or Siemens outdoor antenna is optimally
aligned:
ì Click End.
ì Make sure that in future your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX or Siemens outdoor antenna is
always in the set position.

Schablone 2007_10_19
Preparing to use Gigaset SE681 WiMAX
When you have finished configuring your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX, use it to surf the
Internet, send e-mails etc.
Generally speaking, you do not need to worry about your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX any
more: your provider carries out all the maintenance work, such as installing new device
software, adjusting network settings etc. All you need to do is ensure that the alignment
of the device or antenna does not change.
As soon as you attempt to access the Internet with a PC connected to the Gigaset SE681
WiMAX (for example, by opening the Web browser and calling up an Internet site, or by
starting your e-mail program and retrieving e-mails), your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX automatically establishes a connection to the Internet or uses the permanent Internet connection. Whether the connection needs to be established or is permanently available
depends on your provider's default settings. Unlike conventional Internet connections,
you do not need to enter any access data in order to establish an Internet connection.

nection are presented. If you receive these statistics, the connection to the device is
OK.
u The request exceeds the time limit; it was not possible either to send or receive
any packets. There is no physical connection between the PC and your Gigaset
SE681 WiMAX. Check the following points:
– Is the Ethernet cable between the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX and the PC properly connected?
The LAN LED on the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX must light up.
– Has TCP/IP been properly configured on your PC?
If the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX has the IP address 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address
must be between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.254. The subnet mask must be
255.255.255.0.
To find out the IP address of your PC, enter ipconfig in the command prompt.

Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation. NAT is a method for converting IP addresses (mainly private IP addresses) in a network to one or more public IP addresses on the Internet. With
NAT, several network components in a LAN can share a public IP address to connect to
the Internet. The network components of the local network are hidden behind the IP
address registered on the Internet. NAT is often used as part of the firewall in a network
because of this security function.
Bridge
A bridge connects several network segments to form a joint network, e.g. to make a TCP/
IP network. The segments can have different physical characteristics, e.g. different linking such as Ethernet and wireless LANs. Local networks can be expanded by linking individual segments via bridges.
dB
Decibel (a tenth of a Bel). Logarithmic unit of measurement for ratios between two currents, voltages, sound levels or powers. In order to depict large value differences clearly
and graphically, these are given in dB; e.g. 60 dB corresponds to the factor 1000 relative
to the voltage drops.
dBm
Decibel milliwatt. Power level in decibels relative to 1 milliwatt.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP handles the automatic assignment of IP
addresses to network components.
DHCP was developed because in large networks – especially the Internet – the defining
of IP addresses is very complex as subscribers frequently move, drop out or new ones
join. A DHCP server server automatically assigns the connected network components
(DHCP clients) dynamic IP addresses from a defined IP pool range, thus saving a great
deal of configuration work. In addition, the address blocks can be used more effectively:
since not all subscribers are on the network at the same time, the same IP address can
be assigned to different network components in succession as and when required.
DHCP server
There is a DHCP integrated into the Gigaset SE681 WiMAX that automatically assigns IP
addresses to PCs in the local network.

DNS
Domain Name System. DNS permits the assignment of IP addresses to PC or domain
names that are easier to remember. A DNS server must administer this information for
each local network with an Internet connection. As soon as a page on the Internet is
called up, the Web browser obtains the corresponding IP address from the DNS server
so that it can establish the connection.
On the Internet, the assignment of domain names to IP addresses follows a hierarchical
system. A local PC only knows the address of the local name server. This in turn knows
all the addresses of the PCs in the local network and the superordinated name servers,
which again know addresses and the next superordinated name servers.
Domain name
The domain name is the reference to one or more web servers on the Internet. The
domain name is mapped via the DNS service to the corresponding IP address.
Downlink
Files that your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX receives and forwards to your local network.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line. DSL is a technique whereby data is transmitted via the conventional phone line. To do this, you require suitable phone lines and special technology to
be set up by a Provider. As these preconditions are not satisfied in all areas, it is not possible to use DSL in all locations. In order to make use of high-performance Internet
access in these areas as well, technologies such as WiMAX, Wi-Fi or satellite connections
are implemented.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a network technology for local networks (LANs) defined by the IEEE as standard IEEE 802.3. Depending on the network adapter used, the transmission speed on the
Ethernet varies between 10 Mbps and 1 Gbps.
Firewall
Firewalls are used by network operators as protection against unauthorised external
access. This involves a whole bundle of hardware and software actions and technologies
that monitor and control the data flow between the private network to be protected and
an unprotected network such as the Internet.
Firmware
Device software. To correct errors or update the device, a new firmware version can be
loaded onto the device's memory (firmware update).
Flat rate
Flat rate is a particular billing system for Internet connections. The Provider charges a
set monthly fee for a certain service package.

FTP
File Transfer Protocol. Protocol for exchanging files via the Internet. FTP is used, for
example, to make files available for download or to receive files from other users.
Full duplex
Data transmission operating mode in which data can be sent and received at the same
time.
FXS
Foreign Exchange Station. Phone port to which an analogue terminal (phone, fax or
answer machine) can be connected.
Gateway
A gateway connects networks with one another. In contrast to a Router, a gateway is not
dependent on protocol, i.e. it is also able to establish connections between networks
with a different architecture (protocols, application interfaces etc.).
Half duplex
Operating mode for data transfer. Only one party can receive or send data at a time.
HTTP
Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Network protocol for the transmission of data, which is
mainly used for transmitting and displaying Internet content.
HTTP proxy
An HTTP proxy is a server that network components use for their Internet traffic. All
requests are sent via the proxy.
Hub
A hub is a central distribution point in a network, to which PCs and other network
devices are connected. The hub forwards received data to all connected PCs. For this
reason, in large networks, a Switch is recommended to ensure that data is only sent to
the PC requesting it.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The IEEE is an international body for
defining network standards, especially for standardising LAN technologies, transmission protocols and speeds, and wiring.

IEEE 802.16
Standard defined by the IEEE for WiMAX. Similarly to other standards in the 802 series
(e.g. 802.3 Ethernet, 802.11 WLAN), the WiMAX standard is one of the standards for
networks. The standard has progressed in accordance with new developments; there
are currently two main versions:
u IEEE 802.16-2004: WiMAX, which specifies the secure location for connection part-
ners.
u IEEE 802.16e-2005: Mobile WiMAX, which enables wireless cells to be exchanged
during data transmission.
IP
Internet Protocol. The protocol is responsible for addressing of subscribers in a network
using IP addresses, and routes data from the sender to the recipient. In doing so, it
decides on the way in which data packets will be forwarded between sender and recipient.
IP address
An IP address is the unique network-wide address of a network component in a network
based on the TCP/IP protocol (e.g. in a local network or on the Internet). The IP address
consists of four parts (each of up to three-figure strings of digits from 0–255) that are
separated from one another by full stops (e.g. 192.168.2.1). The IP address is made up
of the network number and the number of the network component. Depending on the
Subnet mask, one, two or three parts form the network number, the remainder form the
network component number. You can find out the IP address of your PC using the
ipconfig command.
There are two different types of IP address:
u Private IP address:
IP address of a network component within a local network.
u Public IP address:
IP address that uses a network component for accessing the Internet.
IP addresses can be assigned manually or automatically:
u Static IP address:
The IP address is manually assigned to a network component and never changes.
u Dynamic IP address:
The IP address is assigned to the network component by a DHCP server. The IP
address of this network component can change each time it registers with a network
or at specific time intervals.
On the Internet, domain names are normally used instead of the IP addresses. DNS is
used to assign domain names to IP addresses.
IPTV
Internet Protocol Television. You receive your provider's television service via the DSL
connection. To do this, you require an IPTV-capable set-top box and the configuration
data of your IPTV provider.

ISP
Internet Service Provider. See Provider.
LAN
Local Area Network, local network. A local network links network components so that
they can exchange data and share resources. The physical range is restricted to a particular area (a site). A local network can be connected to other local networks or a widearea network (WAN) such as the Internet.
LED
Light Emitting Diode. An LED is an electronic component (semi-conductor) that generates light at low power consumption. LEDs are often used as signal lights for display and
UI elements.
Login
Access to a PC or a service, password e.g. for access to the Internet.
MAC address
Media Access Control. The MAC address is used for the globally unique identification of
a network adapter. It comprises six parts (hexadecimal numbers), e.g. 00-90-96-34-001A. The MAC address is assigned by the network adapter manufacturer and cannot be
changed.
Mbps
Million bits per second. Specification of the transmission speed in a network.
Network
A network is a group of devices connected in wired or wireless mode so that they can
share resources such as data and peripherals. A general distinction is made between
local networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs).
Network adapter
The network adapter is the hardware device that creates the connection between a network component and a local network. The connection can be wired or wireless. An Ethernet network card is an example of a wired network adapter. The Gigaset PC Card 108
and the Gigaset USB Adapter 108 are examples of wireless network adapters. A network
adapter has a unique address, the MAC address.

Network protocol
The network protocol is the standard via which different PCs exchange data in a network. A connection can only be established between PCs in a network if they all use the
same protocol. The TCP/IP network protocol is the most extensive network protocol,
which is also used for connections to the Internet. This must be set up on each PC from
which a network connection is to be established.
Protocol
A protocol describes the agreements for communicating on a network. It contains rules
for opening, administering and closing a connection, as well as about data formats,
time frames and handling possible errors. Communications between two applications
require different protocols at various levels, e.g. the TCP/IP protocols for the Internet.
Provider
A provider (Internet Service Provider) offers access to the Internet for a fee.
RJ
Registered Jack. Standardised connection, also known as a modular jack.
Router
A router directs data packets from one local area network (LAN) to another via the fastest route. A router enables the connection between networks of different network technologies and this is performed on the basis of a common protocol. For example, it can
link a local network with WiMAX technology to the Internet.
RSSI
Received Signal Strength Indication. Characteristic value for the signal strength of radio
connections, used by communication devices for the automatic selection of a suitable
channel.
Server
A server makes services available to other network components (clients). The term
"server" is often used to refer to a PC. However it can also mean an application that provides a particular service such as DNS, DHCP or a Web service.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol. The SMTP protocol is a TCP/IP protocol and regulates the
exchange of electronic post on the Internet. Your Provider provides you with access to
an SMTP server.
Subnet
A subnet divides a network into smaller units.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask determines how many parts of the IP addresses of a network represent
the network number and how many parts represent the network component number.
If the subnet mask in a network is 255.255.255.0, for example, this means that the first

Glossary
three parts of the IP address make up the network number and only the last part can be
used to assign network component numbers. The first three parts of the IP address of
all network components are in this case always the same.
Switch
A switch is a central distributor in a wired network, which, unlike a hub, provides intelligent distribution of data transfer. The switch only ever forwards a data packet to the
subnet or network component the data packet is intended for. Unnecessary transfer of
data in the network thus avoided.
TAE
Telecommunications connecting unit (German: Telekommunikations-Anschlusseinheit). Connector for connecting analogue telecommunications devices. F for phone, N
for additional devices such as fax or answer machines.
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol. TCP is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. TCP handles data
transport between communication partners (applications). TCP is a session-based transmission protocol, i.e. it sets up, monitors and terminates a connection for transporting
data.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Protocol family on which the Internet
is based. IP forms the basis of each PC to PC connection. TCP provides applications with
a reliable transmission link in the form of a continuous data stream. TCP/IP is the basis
on which services such as WWW, Mail and News are built. There are other protocols as
well. In order to access the Internet from a PC, TCP/IP must be set up on the PC.
Uplink
Data that your Gigaset SE681 WiMAX forwards from your PC or local network to external
sites (e.g. to the Internet).
URL
Universal Resource Locator. Globally unique address of a domain on the Internet, e.g.
http://www.siemens.com.
WAN
Wide Area Network. A WAN is a network that is not restricted to one particular area,
such as the Internet. A WAN is run by one or more public providers to enable private
access. You access the Internet via a Provider.
