LAN. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl makes use of effective encryption methods to prevent unauthorised eavesdropping as far as possible. You can use the following security mechanisms:...
Page 48: 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 Integration 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 49 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.

Page 51: 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 SX763 WLAN dsl and hence to the LAN. Access control is based on the MAC address of the PC network adapters.
Page 52: Saving Settings
You can completely reset the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl (page 21). You can connect a PC to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl using one of the LAN connections (by cable). As MAC access control only affects PCs that are con- nected wirelessly, you can use this PC to change the configuration.

Page 63: Attack Detection
Configuring Advanced Settings Attack Detection If the firewall functions of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl are activated, the device moni- tors and limits access to incoming data traffic via the DSL connection with a function called "Stateful Packet Inspection" (SPI). This allows the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl to detect and prevent certain types of attack from the Internet, such as Denial-of-Service (DoS).
Page 64 Configuring Advanced Settings ì Activate the Access Control function by selecting On. You have the following setting options for Access Control: Access Rules You can limit access to the Internet for all or only for certain clients in the network. You can assign a Schedule rule to each access rule, thereby allowing or blocking access to URLs and services.
Page 65: Setting Up The Nat Function
Click OK to apply the settings. Setting up the NAT function The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl comes equipped with the NAT (Network Address Transla- tion) function. With address mapping, several users in the local network can access the Internet via one or more public IP addresses. All the local IP addresses are assigned to the router's public IP address by default.
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 67: Port Forwarding
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.

Page 77 If this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will send the SSID in all data transfers and the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will be displayed on PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, hackers could use the SSID to detect your network.
Page 78 Configuring Advanced Settings Sending power ì Select the required sending power for your device. It is recommended that you select a sending power with a range to suit the spatial environment of your local network. A much greater range makes it easier to eaves- drop on your wireless data transfer.
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.
Page 82: 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 SX763 WLAN dsl and all your wireless network adapters.
