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 making this possible. 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
handle. It can be configured and operational within a few minutes.

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 wirelessly form the network on an "ad-hoc" basis, i.e. as 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.

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 protection against hacker attacks.
– Service filtering
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl can filter Internet access. Here you determine which
PCs may access which Internet services.

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 46)
u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 47)
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 80).

Schablone 2005_07_27
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. To find out whether and how you can use WPA on your PC,
read your network adapter's user guide.
ì Select WPA2-PSK if it is supported by all components in your wireless network.
Or:
ì Select WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK if some or all components in your wireless network
support WPA with the TKIP protocol.
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.
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.
If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support
the higher security standard WPA (page 46), we recommend that you activate WEP
encryption.
You can choose either the standard 64-bit default 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

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 modify default settings of the firewall.
ì In the Advanced Settings – Internet – Firewall menu, select Attack Detection.

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 context 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.
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.

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.

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.

Dynamic DNS
Any service you provide on the Internet can be accessed by 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 static
domain name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
Various Internet 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.

QoS (Quality of Service)
Many communication and multimedia applications require large, high-speed bandwidths to transfer data between the local network and the Internet. However, for many
applications there is often only one Internet connection available with limited capacity.
QoS (Quality of Service) divides this capacity between the different applications and
provides undelayed, continuous data transfer where data packets with higher priority
are given preference.
ì In the Advanced Settings – Internet menu, select QoS.

packets are to be forwarded immediately before all others (EF, Expedited Forwarding),
guaranteed and without data loss (AF, Assured Forwarding) or normally (BE, Best
Effort). If your application already supports QoS, it will determine the priority automatically. Your device will note this for forwarding. In addition, the device recognises certain Predefined applications and assigns each packet the relevant priority. You can also

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. Further information about this can be found in the section entitled
"Das lokale Netzwerk konfigurieren" on page 127.
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 Lease time determines
the period for which the PCs retain the IP addresses assigned to them without changing them.
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 You can define the name of a domain (Windows workgroup) in the Domain name
field.

ì Select On for the Wireless Network (default setting).
Devices can only log in wirelessly if the WLAN module of the Gigaset SX763 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
automatically.
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 alphanumeric 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 your 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 the protection against unauthorised access to your wireless
network. Make a note of the SSID. You will need it to log on to the PC.
ì Select Off to deactivate SSID broadcast.
Transmission mode
This function is only shown in the window if the Super G transmission mode is deactivated (page 79).
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.
Super G (108 Mbit/s)
With the help of channel bundling, the Super G transmission mode enables wireless
data transfer up to 108 Mbps. The channel for 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 ensure the following:
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. If you select this transmission mode, the router accepts participants that communicate at different transfer rates and adjusts to the slowest client in the network.
In the default setting, Super G (108 Mbit/s) is deactivated.
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.
WDS (repeater function)
If you use a repeater to extend the range in your wireless network, you must activate
the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) function.

Setting up wireless security
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 81)
u WAP2 and WPA2/WPA with authentication server (page 82)
u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 83)

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 alphanumerical characters) and
confirm it by entering it again.
ì Apply the settings by clicking OK.

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 network. Select WPA2 / WPA if you are using devices that only support WPA.
ì Select the required option in the Security field.
ì Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server in the RADIUS server IP address field.

Setting up Internet telephony (VoIP)
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl allows you to make telephone calls via the Internet using
an analogue telephone and, if required, 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 must enter this data along with other configuration settings in Advanced Settings in the Telephony 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 with SIP clients (as WLAN 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 88).
u Extensions: Set up the functions for two extensions here (page 90).
u Dialling rules: Specify numbers here that are to be dialled only via the fixed network
or only via the Internet.
Note:
If you do not specify any of your own dialling rules, then the default settings will
be used as entered in the Telephony 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 94).
u Check these dialling rules (page 94) 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 37). 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 provider.

Security
You will find information about possible security risks for the device and the network on
the Security screen in the Status menu.
u System password not changed
The configuration program of the device is not sufficiently protected against unauthorised access either because you have not changed the system password since setting up the device or you have not assigned any system password at all. Information
on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section "System Password" on page 105.
u Identification of your wireless network visible or not changed
Unauthorised users can also find the wireless network easily as you have not
changed the ID of the wireless network (SSID) since setup and have not deactivated
SSID broadcasting. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section
"Configuring wireless connections" on page 77.
u Encryption for your wireless network not activated
None of the data in the wireless network is encrypted during transfer and can therefore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised users will also have easy access to your network, your PCs and your Internet connection. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section "Setting up wireless security" on page 80.
u Access to your wireless network not restricted to allowed clients
Users can access the wireless network from any PC. Information on how to avoid this
security risk is given in Section "Permitted clients" on page 85.
u Firewall for your Internet connection turned off
The network is not protected against hackers who gain unauthorised access via the
Internet. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section "Firewall"
on page 62.

u Address translation for your Internet connection turned off
The clients in the network are not protected against unauthorised access via the
Internet. Information on how to avoid this security risk is given in Section "Setting
up the NAT function" on page 66.
u One or more of your local clients directly exposed to the Internet
At least one client in the network is directly visible on the Internet as an exposed
host and is therefore particularly exposed to the risk (e.g. through 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 suitable. In this case, you should
take the appropriate measures on the clients concerned. Information on how to
avoid this security risk is given in Section "Opening the firewall for selected PCs

Installing the printer port for network printers
Schablone 2005_07_27
Installing the printer port for network printers
Your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is equipped with a USB port that you can use, for example, to connect a printer for use as the network printer.
Introduction
A network printer is a printer on which you can print your documents without it being
connected to your PC, for example to LPT1, the parallel interface. The advantage of this
is that you only need this printer once in your network. All PCs for which it is released
can access it and work with it.
Note:
For multifunction devices (combination of printer, copier or fax) only the printer functionality is supported.
In most cases a printer of this type is connected to another PC in the network. While this
offers the advantage referred to above, it has serious disadvantages:
u The printer can only be used by others if the PC to which it is connected is switched
on.
u The print job you send to the PC on which the printer depends reduces the perform-
ance (resources) of this PC.
If you use the USB port on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl for your printer, you have all the
advantages of a network printer without the disadvantages referred to above:
u The network, and consequently also the printer, is always ready (the Gigaset SX763
WLAN dsl and the printer itself must be switched on, of course).
u As it is connected to the USB printer port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, it does
not detract from the performance of any other PC in the network.
To facilitate this option you must first set up a printer port on each PC that is to use the
network printer. A printer port is an interface on the PC that forwards the print job to an
IP address within the network.
Once you have set up this port you must install the printer driver.

Instructions for setting up a printer on the PC
Once you have installed the printer port you still cannot start printing. The printer port
is nothing more than an additional interface on your PC, comparable with the USB port.
It means that any printer you install on this port is also regarded as a local printer even
though it is located in the network and possibly not directly near you.
You still need to connect the printer to this port and configure it.
ì Connect the printer to the USB port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl.
The printer is installed in the same way as any other printer:
ì Go through Start – Settings – Printers and click Add Printer.
ì In the window that opens, click Next.

Symptom
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN
dsl or other PCs cannot be
reached by a PC in the connected LAN using a ping
command.
No connection to the configuration environment of the
Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl.
Possible cause and solutions
ì Make sure that TCP/IP has been installed and configured on all the PCs in the local network.
ì Check that the IP addresses have been correctly
configured. In most cases you can use the DHCP
function of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to assign
dynamic addresses to the PCs in the LAN. In this
case, you have to configure the TCP/IP settings of all
the PCs so that they obtain the IP address automatically.
ì
If you configure the IP addresses in the LAN manually, remember to use the subnet mask
255.255.255.x. This means that the first three
parts of the IP address on each PC and on the
Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl have to be identical. The
device also has to be configured as a DNS server.
Use the ping command to check whether you can
establish a network connection to the Gigaset
SX763 WLAN dsl.
ì Check the network cable between the PC you want
to use to administer the device and the Gigaset
SX763 WLAN dsl.

Glossary
Access point
An access point, such as the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, is the centre of a wireless local
network (WLAN). It handles the connection of the wireless linked network components
and regulates the data traffic in the wireless network. The access point also serves as an
interface to other networks, for example an existing Ethernet LAN or via a modem to the
Internet. The operating mode of wireless networks with an access point is called
Infrastructure mode.
Ad-hoc mode
Ad-hoc mode describes wireless local networks (WLANs), in which the network components set up a spontaneous network without an Access point, for example several Notebooks in a conference. All the network components are peers. They must have a wireless Network adapter.
ADSL /ADSL2+
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and ADSL 2+ are special types of DSL data
transfer technology.
AES
Advanced Encryption Standard
AES is an encryption system, which was published as a standard in October 2000 by the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is used for WPA encryption. A
distinction is made between the three AES variants AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 on
the basis of the key length.
Auto connect
Auto connect means that applications such as Web browser, Messenger and E-mail
automatically open an Internet connection when they are launched. This can lead to
high charges if you are not using Flat rate. This function can be deactivated on the
Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to save call charges.
Bridge
A bridge connects several network segments to form a joint network, for example to
make a TCP/IP network. The segments can have different physical characteristics, for
example different connections such as Ethernet and wireless LANs. Linking individual
segments via bridges allows local networks of practically unlimited size.
See also: Switch, Hub, Router, Gateway
Broadcast
A broadcast is a data packet not directed to a particular recipient but to all the network
components in the network. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl does not pass on broadcast
packets; they always remain within the local network (LAN) it administers.

BSSID
Basic Service Set ID
BSSID permits unique differentiation of one wireless network (WLAN) from another. In
Infrastructure mode, the BSSID is the MAC address of the Access point. In wireless networks in Ad-hoc mode, the BSSID is the MAC address of any one of the participants.
Client
A client is an application that requests a service from a server. For example, an HTTP client on a PC in a local network requests data, i.e. Web pages from an HTTP server on the
Internet. Frequently the network component (e.g. the PC) on which the client application is running is also called a client.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP handles the automatic assignment of IP addresses to network components. It was
developed because of the complexity involved in defining IP addresses in large networks
– especially the Internet – as participants frequently move, drop out or new ones join.
A DHCP 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 participants 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.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl includes a DHCP server and uses it to assign automatic IP
addresses to PCs in the local network. You can specify that the IP addresses for certain
PCs are never changed.
DHCP server
See DHCP
DMZ
Demilitarised Zone
DMZ describes a part of a network that is outside the Firewall. A DMZ is set up, as it
were, between a network you want to protect (e.g. a LAN) and a non-secure network
(e.g. the Internet). A DMZ is useful if you want to offer Server services on the Internet
that are not to be run from behind the firewall for security reasons or if Internet applications do not work properly behind a firewall. A DMZ permits unrestricted access from
the Internet to only one or a few network components, while the other network components remain secure behind the firewall.

DNS
Domain Name System
DNS permits the assignment of IP addresses to computers or Domain names that are
easier to remember. A DNS server must administer this information for each LAN with
an Internet connection. As soon as a page on the Internet is called up, the 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 superordinate name servers,
which again know addresses or the next superordinate name servers.
DNS server
See DNS
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.
DoS attack
Denial of Service
A DoS attack is a particular form of hacker attack directed at computers and networks
with a connection to the Internet. The aim is not so much to steal data but to paralyse
the computer or network so severely that the network resources are no longer available.
A typical hacker attack involves making a remote computer announce that it is acting
for the paralysed computer, for example, and receive the data intended for you.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line
DSL is a data transfer technique in which a connection to the Internet can be run at 1.5
Mbps over normal telephone lines. A DSL connection is provided by an Internet service
provider. It requires a DSL modem.
Dynamic IP address
A dynamic IP address is assigned to a network component automatically by DHCP. This
means that the IP address of a network component can change with every login or at
certain intervals.

DynDNS
Dynamic DNS
The assignment of Domain names and IP addresses is handled by the Domain Name
Service (DNS). This service is now enhanced with so-called Dynamic DNS (DynDNS) for
Dynamic IP addresses. This enables the use of a network component with a dynamic IP
address as a Server on the Internet. DynDNS ensures that a service can always be
addressed on the Internet under the same domain name regardless of the current IP
address.
Encryption
Encryption protects confidential information against unauthorised access. With an
encryption system, data packets can be sent securely over a network. The Gigaset
SX763 WLAN dsl offers WEP encryption and WPA for secure data transfer over wireless
networks.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a network technology for local networks (LANs) defined by the IEEE as standard IEEE 802.3. Ethernet uses a base-band cable with a transfer rate of 10 or 100 Mbps.
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.

IEEE 802.11
IEEE 802.11 is a standard for wireless LANs operating in the 2.4 GHz band. In so-called
Infrastructure mode, terminals can be connected to a base station (Access point) or they
can connect with each other spontaneously (Ad-hoc mode).
IGMP
Internet Group Management Protocol
IGMP is an Internet Protocol that enables an Internet computer to inform neighbouring
routers that it is a member of a multicast group. With multicasting, a computer can send
content on the Internet to several other computers that have registered an interest in
the first computer's content. Multicasting can, for example, be used for multimedia programs for media streaming to recipients that have set up multicast group membership.
Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode is a way of operating wireless local networks (WLANs) in which an
Access point handles the data traffic. Network components cannot establish a direct
connection with each other as is the case in Ad-hoc mode.
Internet
The Internet is a wide-area network (WAN) linking several million users around the
world. A number of Protocols have been created for exchanging data, and these are
known collectively as TCP/IP. All participants on the Internet can be identified by an IP
address. Servers are addressed by Domain names (e.g. siemens.com). Domain names
are assigned to IP addresses by the Domain Name Service (DNS).
These are some of the main Internet services:
u Electronic mail (e-mail)
u The World Wide Web (WWW)
u File transfer (FTP)

Internet service provider
An Internet service provider offers access to the Internet for a fee.
Internet telephony
Transmission of voice via the Internet (Voice over IP).
IP
Internet protocol
The IP Protocol is one of the TCP/IP protocols. It is responsible for addressing parties in a
network using IP addresses and routes data from the sender to the recipient. It decides
the paths along which the data packets travel from the sender to the recipient in a complex network (routing).
IP address
The 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 area network (LAN) or on the Internet).
The IP address has four parts (each with up to three-position digit sequences) separated
by full stops (e.g. 192.168.1.1). The IP address comprises the network number and the
computer number. Depending on the Subnet mask, one, two or three parts form the
network number; the remainder form the computer number. You can find out the IP
address of your PC using the ipconfig command.
IP addresses can be assigned manually (see Static IP address) or automatically (see
Dynamic IP address).
On the Internet Domain names are normally used instead of the IP addresses. The DNS
is used to assign domain names to IP addresses.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl has a Private IP address and a Public IP address.

LAN
Local network
A local area network (or 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). As a rule the users and operators are identical. A local network can be connected to other local networks or to a wide-area network (WAN) such as the Internet.
With the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl you can set up a wired local Ethernet network and a
wireless IEEE 802.11g standard network (WLAN).

NAT
Network Address Translation
NAT is a method for converting IP addresses (Private IP addresses) within a network into
one or several Public IP addresses on the Internet. With NAT, several network components in a LAN can share the router's public IP address to connect to the Internet. The
network components of the local network are hidden behind the router's IP address registered on the Internet. Because of this security function, NAT is frequently used as part
of the Firewall of a network. If you want to make services on a PC in the local network
available on the Internet despite NAT, you can configure the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl as
a Virtual server.
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.
PBX
Private Branch Exchange
PBX is the English acronym for a public branch exchange, which allows connection and
configuration of extensions and telephone functions.
Port
Data is exchanged between two applications in a network across a port. The port
number addresses an application within a network component. The combination of IP
address/port number uniquely identifies the recipient or sender of a data packet within
a network. Some applications (e.g. Internet services such as HTTP or FTP) work with
fixed port numbers; others are allocated a free port number whenever they need one.
Port forwarding
In port forwarding the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl directs data packets from the Internet
that are addressed to a particular Port to the corresponding port of the appropriate network component. This enables servers within the local network to offer services on the
Internet without them needing a Public IP address.

Private IP address
The private IP address (also known as the local IP address) is a network component's
address within the local network (LAN). The network operator can assign any address
he or she wants. Devices that act as a link from a local network, such as the Gigaset
SX763 WLAN dsl, have a private and a Public IP address.
Protocol
A protocol describes the agreements for communicating in a network. It contains rules
for opening, administering and closing a connection, as well as about data formats,
time frames and handling possible errors. Communication between two applications
requires different protocols at various levels, for example the TCP/IP protocols for the
Internet.
Public IP address
The public IP address (also known as the global IP address) is a network component's
address on the Internet. It is assigned by the Internet service provider. Devices that create a link from a LAN to the Internet, such as the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, have a public
and a Private IP address.
PVC
Permanent Virtual Circuit

SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol
The SNMP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It provides a simple procedure
for administering the network based on a system of shared information for management data and network management messages (known as traps) and reports the occurrence of events within the monitored network (e.g. an alarm message or notification of
configuration changes).
SSID
Service Set Identifier
The SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (WLAN). All wireless network components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be
assigned by the network operator.
Static IP address
A static IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network configuration. Unlike the Dynamic IP address, a static (fixed) IP address never changes.
Subnet
A subnet divides a network into smaller units.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask determines how parts of IP addresses of a network represent the network number and how many the computer number.
The subnet mask in a network administered by the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is always
255.255.255.0. That means the first three parts of the IP address form the network
number and the final part is used for assigning computer numbers. The first three parts
of the IP address of all network components are therefore always the same in this case.
Super G
Super G is an extension of the IEEE 802.11g mode. Channel bundling can be used to
double the maximum transfer rate to 108 Mbps.
Switch
A switch, like a Hub, is an element used to link different network segments or components. Unlike a hub however, the switch has its own intelligence that enables it to forward packets to only the subnet or network component they are meant for.

Wireless Distribution System
WDS describes the wireless connection between a number of access points.
WAN
Wide Area Network
A WAN is a wide area 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 an Internet service provider.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy
WEP is a security protocol defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. It is used to protect wireless transmissions in a WLAN against unauthorised access through Encryption of the
data transmitted.

Glossary
WLAN
Wireless LAN
Wireless LANs enable network components to communicate with a network using radio
waves as the transport medium. A wireless LAN can be connected as an extension to a
wired LAN or it can form the basis for a new network. The basic element of a wireless
network is the cell. This is the area where the wireless communication takes place. A
WLAN can be operated in Ad-hoc mode or Infrastructure mode.
WLAN is currently specified in Standard IEEE 802.11. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl complies with Standard 802.11g.
WPA
WPA is a new standard-conformant solution for greater security in wireless networks.
WPA is meant to replace the existing WEP standard (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and offers
more reliable encryption and authentication methods.
WPA-PSK
WPA Pre-shared Key
Variant of WPA data encryption in which new keys are automatically generated at regular intervals by means of a keyword (pre-shared key). The key is updated after defined
periods (Rekey interval).
XR
eXtended Range
XR technology extends the range in a WLAN and in so doing allows improved coverage
of the desired range in home or small office networks. Activating this function at the
access point can extend the range to the network adapters considerably, though the
data transfer rate is reduced as a result.
