u
Security functions
The Gigaset SE366 WLAN offers comprehensive security measures:
Firewall
protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
All PCs in the local area network use the
WLAN for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Inter-
net. The Gigaset SE366 WLAN only allows access from the Internet if this has
been requested from within the local area network.
With the firewall, the Gigaset SE366 WLAN also offers comprehensive protection
against hacker attacks.
– Service filtering and URL filtering
The Gigaset SE366 WLAN can filter Internet access. Here you determine which
PCs may access which Internet services.
In addition, you can deactivate access to certain Internet domains and sites (URL
filtering).
– Access control and encryption for the local wireless network
You can use various encryption methods and authentication methods (WEP, WPA/
WPA2-PSK,WPA/WPA2, MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to
your wireless LAN or to make data illegible to unauthorised parties. The WPS fea-
ture allows you to establish a secure WLAN connection quickly and easily.
– The sending power can be adjusted to suit local conditions. If you limit the reach
of your wireless network to the size you need, you also make electronic eaves-
dropping more difficult.
u
Other options
Exposed Host
You can set up a PC on your local network to be a virtual server and release it for
unrestricted access from the Internet.
