(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.
In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable. When the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is used, it establishes the connection between the PCs. For this it has four Ethernet LAN ports for connecting four PCs. The PCs have to be equipped with a network port (Ethernet).

LAN. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl makes use of effective encryption methods to prevent unauthorised eavesdropping as far as possible. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is delivered with preset individual encryption (WPA2-PSK/ WPA-PSK with pre-shared Key).
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.

Security Setup Wizard Access control within the wireless network In this step you can specify which PCs will have wireless access to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and hence to the LAN. Access control is based on the MAC address of the PC network adapters.
Page 60
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.
If you have changes the encyption setting, you must now configure the WEP or WPA key for the wireless network adapter of the PC that has been configured with other values. After this you can again wirelessly log on to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl.
You can make or change various system settings here, for example change the password (page 127), set the time (page 126) or activate remote management (page 128). In addition, you can also back up the data on the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl or configure firmware update (page 131).
Configuring Advanced Settings Internet If you have configured the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl using the two wizards, you have also configured the connection (Internet access). You can check or change these settings in the Internet menu. This menu also offers you a wide range of possibilities for setting up security settings and limiting access to the Internet as well as for providing your own services on the Internet.

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 82
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.

If an external client succeeds in registering, the LED (see page 34) 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).

Glossary 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.
