u Protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable offers comprehensive security measures such as: Firewall All the PC's in the local network use the router's Public IP address for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The router only allows access from the Internet if it has been requested from the local network. With its firewall, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable also offers comprehensive protection from attack by hackers. u Offering your own services on the Internet If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can configure the router as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local network. DMZ This allows you to release a PC on your local network for unrestricted access from the Internet without compromising the security of the other PC's. u Restricting Internet access You can configure the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that Internet access is blocked or limited for various users. You can also use filters to control which PC's are able to use which Internet services, and you can disable access to certain Internet domains and sites. Important information:
On the CD supplied you will find a document entitled "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" which describes many of the uses of the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable in full detail together with their configuration settings.
Procedure for installation and configuration
1. First install an Ethernet network card or a wireless Network adapter such as the Gigaset PCI Card 54 or Gigaset PC Card 54 in the PC's you want to connect with the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. The installation procedure can be found in the product's User Guide.
When installing wireless network adapters you should note the following: The default SSID of the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable is ConnectionPoint.
2. Now install the router (refer to the section entitled "Installing the Gigaset SE505 dsl/ cable" on page 13). 3. Before the PC's can communicate with the router and with each other in a local network, you have to change their network settings. Configure these network settings on one PC first so that it can establish a connection to the router. You can then use that PC to configure the router. To find out how to do this, refer to "Configuring the local network" on page 18. 4. In a wireless connection you establish the link from the PC's wireless network adapter to the router. This is described in the network adapter's operating instructions. 5. Now configure the router to activate the router's Internet access (refer to the section "General configuration with Basic Setup" on page 51). This will require the access data from your Internet Service Provider. 6. If you want to connect more PC's to the router, configure their network settings to set up the local network (refer to the section entitled "Configuring the local network" on page 18). 7. If you wish to use the router's other functions, e.g. the comprehensive security features, use the router's Security Setup (see page 59) or Advanced Setup (see page 66).

First Steps Creating a LAN connection
You can connect PC's to your router in wireless or wired mode and so set up a local area network (LAN). Wireless A wireless connection is established by a wireless network adapter installed in your PC. This could be, for example, a Gigaset PCI Card 54, a Gigaset USB Adapter 54, a Gigaset PC Card 54 or other 802.11g or 802.11b-compatible wireless network adapter. You define a Wireless network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID. Assign the router's SSID to the network adapters. The factory setting for the router's SSID is ConnectionPoint. If the correct SSID has been entered in your PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless link will be established automatically once you connect your router to the mains power supply (see page 17).

You can set a password in the first step of the Security Setup. After installation, your router configuration is not yet protected with a password. To prevent unauthorised changes to the configuration, you should set a password and change this password from time to time.
u Enter a password in the Enter New Password box and type it again in the box Con-
firm New Password. The password can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long. It is not case sensitive. Avoid proper names and all too obvious words. Mix letters and numbers together.
If you ever forget the password you will have to reset your router (see page 103). Please bear in mind that this will restore all the settings to the factory configuration. No password will be active either
u To go to the next step in the Security Setup, click on NEXT.

u To backup the current settings, select Save configuration to PC. u If you do not want to backup the current configuration, deselect Save configura-
tion to PC. u Click on FINISH to finish the Security Setup. If you have selected Save configuration to PC, you must now specify where you wish to save the file and give it a name. The settings will now be active on your router.
Next, you must configure the same SSID and the WEP key for your PC's wireless network adapter, if this has been configured with other values. Once you have done this you can log on to your router once more.
Configuration with Advanced Setup
In Advanced Setup you can configure all the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable options. If necessary, you can also make changes to the settings you made in Basic Setup or Security Setup. The following table shows the options available in Advanced Setup. Menu Description Wireless Settings Here you can configure the options for wireless communication (channel, SSID and encryption), restrict access to the router and integrate Repeater (see page 67) into the wireless network. LAN This option lets you change the router's Private IP address and configure dynamic address assignment (see page 74). You can also activate and deactivate the router's universal plug and play function (UPnP) (see page 75). WAN Here you can check and change the configuration of your router's Internet access or select the operating state (Router or Bridge) (see page 78). Filter Here you can configure a number of security and special functions, e.g. access control for local PCs to the Internet or preventing hacker attacks (see page 81). Virtual server In this option you can make the settings needed to provide your own services on the Internet (see page 82). Administration Here you can perform a number of administration tasks such as backing up your router's configuration, assigning a password or setting the router's time zone (see page 86).
Configuring wireless connections
If you want to connect PC's together in wireless mode with the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable, then you must configure the router as the Access point of a wireless network (WLAN). You should also take steps to enhance the security of your wireless network. Use Wireless Settings for this configuration. Here you can u activate the router's wireless module and make a number of basic settings (see below), u set Encryption for wireless transmissions (see page 69), and u restrict access to the router's LAN (see page 72).

u Select DHCP Server.

u IP Pool Range
In IP Pool Range enter the range of IP addresses which the router should use for automatically assigning IP addresses to the PC's. Enter the first and last addresses.
The first three fields of the first and last IP address always have the first three fields of the router's IP address as their default setting because the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.x. This means that the first three address segments for all network components must be identical.
In the bottom half of the screen you can create a list of PC's to which the DHCP server will always assign the same IP address. This function is useful when you wish to define filter rules for certain PC's or forward ports to certain PC's (refer to "Filtering Internet access" on page 81 or "Port Forwarding" on page 84). The relevant PC must always have the same IP address. You can create the list of PC's in two ways: u From the list of logged-in PC's. You should use this option when the appropriate PC's are logged on. To do this, select the List of logged on PC's option in the Define New Entry window. From the list, select the PC's you wish to add to the list, then click on Add to list. u By entering their MAC address You should use this option when the PC's you wish to add to the list are not currently logged onto the router. Note: You can find out the MAC addresses of the wireless network adapters of the PC's with the command ipconfig /all on the relevant PC's. In the Define New Entry window, select MAC Address. Now enter the MAC addresses of the PC's you wish to add to the list. To improve clarity, type in a name for the PC, then click on Add to list. u To remove an entry from the list, click on Delete in the right hand column of the list entry.
u Click on APPLY to apply the settings.

WAN Configuration

Once you have configured your router with the Basic Setup, you have already configured the WAN connection (Internet access) of your router. Use the WAN configuration option in Advanced Setup to check and change these settings. You can also change the operating mode of the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable is supplied as Router but you can also use it as a Bridge.
In Bridge mode, the WAN connection is configured as a connection with other LAN's and cannot be used for Internet access.
To edit the router's WAN settings: u Select the WAN menu. u Select the desired operating mode Router or Bridge. Configuring as a Bridge
If you select Bridge for the router, it can be used as a link between its local network (LAN) and other LAN segments. You must select Bridge mode if you wish to use the Roaming function with your Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. In this case you should connect it up to an Ethernet with the WAN connection.

u Once you have entered the access data and parameters, launch the connection test
by clicking on Test. This opens a window in which you will see the test steps and the test result (see page 57). If the test fails, check that all the necessary cables are connected the various devices are connected to the power supply the necessary LED's light up If you cannot find any hardware problems, check your settings again. u Close the test window. u Click on APPLY to apply the setting.
Remember that configuration saves the access data for your WAN connection in the router. Before passing your router on to somebody else or having your dealer replace it, you should first restore the factory settings. Otherwise unauthorised persons may use your Internet access data at your expense. Turn to page 103 to find out how to reset your router.
Filtering Internet access
You can use the Filter menu to make settings that will enhance the security of your network. You can u protect your LAN against ping attacks from the Internet (see below), u restrict Internet access to selected PC's and for selected services (see below), and u restrict access by members of your LAN to selected websites (see page 82).
Preventing ping attacks from the Internet
Ping is a command which can be used on the Internet to find out the existence of network members. If your router is 'visible' on the Internet, it may be an easy target for attack by hackers. You should therefore deselect this option. For test purposes, trouble-shooting etc. it may be useful to reply to a ping, and you can enable the option temporarily in this case. u In the Filter menu, select Internet Services.
u Select or deselect WAN Port Ping Reply. u Click on APPLY to apply the setting.
Restricting access of local PC's to the Internet
By default, your router is set up to allow all PC's that are logged on to it to use all Internet services. You can use the filter function to specify which PC's are allowed to use which service, and so enhance the security of your LAN. To do this, use the Filter screen shown above.
You will find an example of how to create an Internet filter in "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.
Configuration with Advanced Setup Restricting access to certain Internet domains and sites
You can prevent members of your LAN accessing certain Internet domains and sites by defining a filter for URL's. Filtering a URL means that the specified URL and all of the URL's downstream of it are blocked for access. Specifying a domain name blocks the complete domain with all of its dependent URL's. u In the Filter menu, select URL Filter.

u In the Administration menu, select Backup and Restore.
Save configuration data u Click on Backup. u Your browser opens a file selection window where you can specify the file you wish to store in the backup file.

In this case, you have to configure the TCP/IP settings of all the PC's so that they obtain the IP address automatically. 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 the router have to be identical. The router also has to be configured as DNS server and as default router.
Symptom Possible cause and solutions

Restoring the Router's factory settings
If you have made configuration settings on the router in error, with the result that you can no longer access the router's configuration interface, you can reset the router to its factory settings. You may need to do this, for example, if you have forgotten your password, if you have activated WEP encryption but have forgotten the key for configuring the network adapters, or if you activate the access control for wireless access to the local network but the access list is empty (see page 64).
Remember that a complete router reset will reset all your configuration settings to the factory settings. This means that you will have to reconfigure your router from scratch.
To reset your router to its factory settings, proceed as follows: u Switch off the router by unplugging the power cord from it. u Press and hold down the reset button on the rear of the device. u Still holding the reset button, switch the router on again. Plug the power lead in again as well. u Wait at least 7 seconds. Then release the reset button. It will take a few seconds for the router to restart. You can now log on again and configure the router once more.

Authorisation

Your Gigaset is intended for operation in your country, as depicted on the underside of the base station. The CE mark attests to the phone's compliance with the essential requirements of the R&TTE directive. Extract from the original declaration
"We, Siemens AG, declare, that the above mentioned product is manufactured according to our Full Quality Assurance System certified by CETECOM ICT Services GmbH with ANNEX V of the R&TTEDirective 99/5/EC. The presumption of conformity with the essential requirements regarding Council Directive 99/5/EC is ensured."

Mbps Million bits per second The transmission speed in a network. MRU Maximum Receive Unit The MRU defines the maximum user data volume within a data packet. MTU Maximum Transmission Unit The MTU defines the maximum length of a data packet that can carried over the network at a time. NAT Network Address Translation NAT is a method for implementing IP addresses (mostly Private IP addresses) in a network on one or more 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 network Firewall. If you want to make services on a PC in the local network available on the Internet despite NAT, you can configure the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable 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 files and peripherals. A general distinction is made between local area networks (LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN). Network adapter The network adapter is the hardware device that implements the connection of a network component to a local network. An Ethernet network card is an example of a wired network adapter. The Gigaset PC Card 54 and the Gigaset PCI Card 54 are examples of wireless network adapters. A network adapter has a unique address, the MAC address. 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 SE505 dsl/cable 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 area network to offer services on the Internet without them needing a Public IP address. See also: Virtual server
PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet PPPoE is a Protocol for connecting network components in a local Ethernet network to the Internet via a modem. PPTP Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol An Internet connection using PPTP Protocol that creates a "tunnel" within an Internet connection for a secure private connection in which the data are sent in encrypted form. The PPTP protocol is used in a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Private IP address The private IP address is a network component's address within the local area 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 SE505 dsl/cable have a private and a Public IP address. Protocol A protocol describes the agreements for communication on a network. It contains rules for opening, administering and closing a connection, about data formats, time frames and error handling. Communications between two applications require different protocols at various levels, e.g. the TCP/IP protocols for the Internet. Public IP address The public 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 SE505 dsl/cable, have a public and a Private IP address. Rekey Interval The rekey interval is the period after which new keys are automatically generated for data encryption with WPA-PSK. Remote Management Remote Management refers to the ability to manage a network from a network component that is actually outside the local area network (LAN). Repeater A repeater extends the range of a wireless local area network by relaying data from the Access point to additional PCs or Network adapter. Roaming In order to extend the range of a wireless local network, roaming involves several Access points or Repeaters which use the same SSID and radio channel and are connected via Ethernet. The PC's within the network can switch dynamically between several Access Points without losing an existing network connection. Router A router directs data packets from one local area network (LAN) to another via the fastest route. A router makes it possible to connect networks that have different network technologies. For example, it can link a local network with Ethernet or WLAN technology to the Internet. See also: Bridge, Switch, Hub, Gateway

u Security functions

The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl offers comprehensive security measures: Firewall protection against unauthorised access from the Internet All PCs in the local area network use the Public IP address of the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if it has been requested from the local area network. With the firewall, the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protection against hacker attacks. Service filtering The Gigaset SX762 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 wireless 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 SX762 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 SX762 WLAN dsl and thereby at the same time provide a printer and a storage medium for all clients in your local area network.

http://sx762 or http://192.168.254.254 The login screen appears:
For your security, the configuration program is protected with a password. The default password generally required is admin.
Enter the password. Click OK.
Note: For security reasons you should change this password at a later stage (page 39). A page with security information will appear. You can skip this when configuring the device for the first time. If you carry out all the general and security settings using the wizard as described below, your device and network will be fully protected. If not, the next time you log on you will be informed of security gaps in the configuration program.

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

support WPA.

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.
To go to the next step, click Next >
Security Setup Wizard WEP encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption for radio signals in wireless networks and meets the IEEE 802.11 standard. If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support the higher security standard WPA (page 42), we recommend that you activate WEP Encryption. You can choose either the standard 64-bit key or the more robust 128-bit key. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the same keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SX762 WLAN dsl and all your wireless network adapters.
Select the Key length: 64 bits or 128 bits. Select the Input type, i.e. whether the key is to be entered manually or generated
automatically by means of a Passphrase.

Manual key entry

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.
Confirm the key by entering it again in the Confirm key field.
Generating a key by means of a Passphrase
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 When you have concluded the configuration, you must change the WEP

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. See also: Static IP address
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 SX762 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. 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. 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. See also: NAT Flat rate Flat rate is a particular billing system for Internet connections. The Internet service provider charges a monthly fee regardless of the duration and number of logins. Full duplex Data transfer mode in which data can be sent and received at the same time. See also: Half duplex Gateway A gateway is a device for connecting networks with completely different architectures (addressing, protocols, application interfaces etc.). Although it is not totally correct, the term is also used as a synonym for Router. Global IP address See Public IP address

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 SX762 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. 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 SX762 WLAN dsl, have a public and a Private IP 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.
