Security functions
u
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
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 this
has been requested from within the local area network.
With the firewall, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protec-
tion against hacker attacks.
– Service filtering
The Gigaset SX763 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
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is delivered with a predefined individual encryption
(WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK with pre-shared key). You will find the corresponding infor-
mation at the label on the devices bottom. So, your wirless network is protected
against unauthorised access.
If there are wireless network adapters of your PCs do not support this encryption
method, you can use other encryption methods and authentication methods
(WEP, WPA/WPA2, 802.1x) to prevent unauthorised access to your wireless LAN
or to make data illegible to unauthorised parties.
With MAC access control you can allow wireless access to selected PCs.
Offering your own services on the Internet
u
– If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can set up the Gigaset
SX763 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.
Providing an HTTP or FTP server via USB interface
u
– You can easily establish an FTP or an HTTP server for Internet access with the
Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl.
– You can connect a USB hub to the USB port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and
thereby at the same time provide a printer and a storage medium for all clients in
your local area network.
