  • Page 71: Setting Up The Nat Function

    Port triggering is a special variant of port forwarding. Unlike port forwarding, the Gigaset SX553 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, but rather to the port numbers of the required Internet service.

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.

  • Page 77: Dynamic Dns

    This task is performed by the dynamic DNS service (DynDNS). You can use the DynDNS service to assign the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl an individual static domain name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
  • Page 78 You must have an account with the service you have chosen (e.g. DynDNS.org) before you can use the DynDNS function of the Gigaset SX553 WLAN dsl. Follow the instruc- tions on the provider's website. Then enter the user data when configuring the router.

  • Page 79: Qos (Quality Of Service)

    Configuring the Advanced Settings QoS (Quality of Service) Many communication and multimedia applications require large, high speed band- widths 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.

In this case, hackers could use the SSID to gain access to your network.
  • Page 84 Configuring the Advanced Settings 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 wire- less network.

  • Page 85: Setting Up Wireless Security

    Configuring the Advanced Settings Setting up wireless security If you are sending data over radio channels, we recommend that you activate encryp- tion (WEP or WPA) on the components in the wireless network. WPA offers greater secu- rity than WEP. You should therefore select WPA encryption if it is supported by all com- ponents in your wireless network.

  • Page 86: Wpa2-Psk And Wpa2-Psk / Wpa-Psk

    Configuring the Advanced Settings 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), encryp- tion keys are automatically generated with the Pre-shared key, automatically changed ("rekeying") and authenticated between the devices.
  • Page 87 Configuring the Advanced Settings WPA and WPA2 with authentication server In large networks (e.g. in companies) WPA enables the use of an additional authentica- tion 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 net- work.

A DNS server must administer this information for each with Internet connection.
