The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX Features and applications The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number of applications. Depending on your device, some of the features may differ from the description in this instruction manual.
Page 18 The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX – Using the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX makes it easy to set up a network at home or in small offices. For example, users can exchange data or share resources in the net- work, such as a file server or printer. You can connect a USB hard disk or a printer to the USB interface of the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX and make them available to all users in your network.
Page 19: Local Area Networks With Gigaset Products
– You can easily establish an FTP or an HTTP server for Internet access with the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX. – You can connect a USB hub to the USB port on your Gigaset SX686 WiMAX and thereby at the same time provide a printer and a storage medium for all clients in your local area network.
Page 20: Wired Local Area Network (Ethernet)
In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable. When the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX 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).
Page 21: Wireless Local Area Network (Wlan)
Gigaset SX686 WiMAX. In infrastructure mode, the stations in the network always com- municate via this access point. The access point sets up the wireless network on a per- manent basis.
Page 22 The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX Linking wireless networks with the Internet The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX has an WiMAX 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 WiMAX connection obtainable from an Internet service provider. Find out whether your service provider supports parallel access by several PCs.
Page 23: Linking A Wireless Network To An Ethernet
WLAN (wireless) Access Point Ethernet (wired) The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX 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 SX686 WiMAX. Please remember: You can also connect an Ethernet router or switch to a LAN port to access a larger Eth- ernet.

Page 25: Internet Telephony And Connecting Analogue Phones
You can configure these ports using the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX. The PABX of the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX allows you to connect SIP phones and PCs with SIP clients (software for Internet telephony) as well as wireless SIP phones (WLAN hand- sets) as extensions.
Page 26: Setting Up A Wireless Network Via Wps
Clients without WPS can be connected manually. WPS provides two possibilities for registration: Via registration button The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX provides the registration button function via the user interface (see page 93). Once the registration button has been activated, the device allows the registration of a WLAN client (repeater or wireless network adapter) during a two-minute inter- val.
Page 27 The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX not the case, the first time the WPS registration is started, the device automatically creates a SSID and a pre-shared key. The automatically or manually created security data is valid for all further WPS reg- istration processes. If you change this security data again manually or after a factory reset the clients have to be registered again.

LAN. The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX makes use of effective encryption methods to prevent unau- thorised eavesdropping as far as possible. The Gigaset SX686 WiMAX is delivered with preset individual encryption (WPA2-PSK/ WPA-PSK with pre-shared key).
Page 63: Wpa2/Wpa With Pre-Shared Key (Psk)
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.
Page 64: Wep Encryption
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 SX686 WiMAX and all your wireless network adapters.

Page 66: Access Control Within The Wireless Network
Security Setup Wizard Access control within the wireless network In this step you can specify which PCs will have wireless access to the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX and hence to the LAN. Access control is based on the MAC address of the PC net- work adapters.
Page 67 You can completely reset the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX (page 16). You can connect a PC to the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX using one of the LAN connec- tions (by cable). As MAC access control only affects PCs that are connected wire- lessly, you can use this PC to change the configuration.
Page 68: Saving Settings
If you have changed the encryption 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 SX686 WiMAX.

Page 80: Setting Up The Nat Function
Port triggering is a special variant of port forwarding. Unlike port forwarding, the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX forwards the data from the port block to the PC which has previ- ously 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 num- bers of the required Internet service.
Page 81 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 SX686 WiMAX to carry out the following tasks:...
Page 82: Port Triggering
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.
Page 83: Port Forwarding
Configuring Advanced Settings Port Forwarding If you configure Port Forwarding, the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX outwardly assumes the role of the server. It receives requests from remote users under its public IP address and auto- matically 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(s) to which service requests are to be forwarded.
Page 85: Dynamic Dns
This task is performed by the dynamic DNS service (DynDNS). You can use the DynDNS service to assign the Gigaset SX686 WiMAX an individual fixed domain name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
Page 86 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.
