(ADSL /ADSL2+) enabling you to access the Internet easily. You can connect your PC wirelessly to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and create a wireless local area network (WLAN). The device supports Super G technology. The transmission rate in the wireless local area network can be increased to 108 Mbps thanks to channel bundling.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl has an extensive range of functions but remains simple to use. It can be configured and operational within a few minutes. Note: This user guide is based on the software release 2.3.
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl Local area networks with Gigaset products You can use the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to set up a local area network, for example a home network. All PCs in this network can communicate with each other and have access to the Internet.

The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl Linking wireless networks with the Internet The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl has an ADSL interface that permits all stations within its local area network to access the Internet simultaneously. To be able to use this function- ality, you need a DSL connection obtainable from an Internet service provider.
Access Point Ethernet (wired) The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl has four Ethernet interfaces (LAN ports). Up to four PCs can be connected directly to these LAN ports. All PCs can access the Internet via the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. Please remember: You can also connect an Ethernet router or switch to a LAN port to access a larger Ethernet.
The type of calls that are cheaper for you will depend on what calls you make and when you make them, and the rates offered by your service provider. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl gives you complete freedom of choice at any time.
You can configure these ports using the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. The PABX of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl allows you to connect wireless SIP phones (WLAN handsets) and PCs with SIP clients (software for Internet telephony) as exten- sions.

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:...
Security Setup Wizard WPA2/WPA with pre-shared key (PSK) is a more advanced procedure than WEP for protecting wireless networks. Dynamic keys, based on TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), offer increased security. The new standard WPA2 uses (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.
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 encryp- tion and decryption for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and all your wireless network adapters.

Page 57
You can completely reset the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl (page 27). You can connect a PC to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl using one of the LAN con- nections (by cable). As MAC access control only affects PCs that are connected wirelessly, you can use this PC to change the configuration.
ì Click Finish to end the wizard. The settings will now be activated on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. Note: You must now configure the WEP or WPA key for the wireless network adapter of the PC that has been configured with other values.
In the Advanced Settings menu, you can configure all the options for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. If required, you can also change the settings you made using the wiz- ard. The following table contains the options available in this menu.

Port triggering is a special variant of port forwarding. Unlike port forwarding, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl forwards the data from the port block to the PC which has pre- viously sent data to the Internet via a certain port (trigger port). This means that approval for the data transfer is not tied to one specific PC in the network, rather to the port numbers of the required Internet service.

Translation) is activated, i.e. all IP addresses of PCs in the local network are converted to the router's public IP address when accessing the Internet. You can use the NAT settings to configure the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to carry out the following tasks:...
Configuring Advanced Settings Port Triggering If you configure port triggering for a certain application, you must identify a trigger port and the protocol (TCP or UDP) this port uses. You can then assign the public ports that must be opened for the application and this trigger port. You can select known Internet services for this purpose or assign ports or blocks of ports manually.
Apply the settings by clicking OK. 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.
Configuring Advanced Settings You can use – a single port number, – several port numbers separated by commas, – port blocks consisting of two port numbers separated by a dash, or – any combination of these (for example 80,90-140,180). ì In the Local port field, enter the internal port number to which service requests are to be forwarded.
This task is performed by the dynamic DNS service (DynDNS). You can use the DynDNS service to assign the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl an individual fixed domain name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
Page 78
Configuring Advanced Settings 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.
Configuring Advanced Settings Routing Your Internet service provider can permit you to set up a number of connection services. The entire data traffic between your local network and the Internet uses the first con- nection service (route) by default. After setting up various connection services (page 61), you can change this default route and set up additional routes by assigning data traffic to other connection services.

If this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will send the SSID in all data transfers and the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will be displayed on PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, hackers could use the SSID to detect your network.
The most simple method to establish a secure wireless connection is press the registra- tion (Scan) button or click once in the user interface of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and do the same with the client. For further information, see "WPS" on page 15.
Page 86
If an external client succeeds in registering, the LED (see page 32) displays a suc- cessful WPS registration. The desired client in you network, however, has no con- nection to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and displays a registration failure. In this case you should change the pre-shared key (WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK) as soon as pos- sible and then perform WPS registration via PIN (see below).
Configuring Advanced Settings You would use this option if you have created a PIN at the desired client. Enter the PIN of the WLAN partner device and click OK to activate your settings. Note: If you have activated access control via the MAC address filter, you have to include the clients in the MAC address list before registering via WPS (see page 94).
