  • Page 66 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.

  • Page 79: Security Settings In The Wireless Network

    Configuring Advanced Settings Security settings in the wireless network 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 80: Wpa2-Psk And Wpa2-Psk / Wpa-Psk

    Configuring 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 81 Configuring 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.
