The Gigaset SE361 WLAN uses effective encryption methods to largely prevent eaves- dropping. You can use the following security mechanisms:...

  • Page 35: Wep Encryption

    You can choose either the standard 64-bit keys or the more robust 128-bit keys for encryption. The keys are generated in hexadecimal or in ASCII format. You must use the same keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and all your wire- less networkadapters.

  • Page 47: Setting Up The Nat Function

    Port triggering is a specific variant of port forwarding. Unlike port forwarding, in this case the Gigaset SE361 WLAN forwards data from the set port block to the PC which has previously sent data to the Internet via a certain port (trigger port). This means that per- mission for data transfer is not tied to one specific PC in your network, but only to the port numbers of the required Internet service.
  • Page 48 You can use the NAT settings for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to set up port triggering for special applications (see page 49), set up the Gigaset SE361 WLAN as a virtual server by configuring Port Forwarding (see page 50), open the firewall for selected PCs (see page 51).

  • Page 49: Port Triggering

    Configuring the Advanced Settings Port triggering If you configure port triggering for a certain application, define a so-called trigger port and the protocol (TCP or UDP) this port uses. To this trigger port you then assign the pub- lic ports that have to be opened for the application. You can select known Internet services for this or assign ports or blocks of ports manu- ally.

  • Page 50: Port Forwarding

    Configuring the Advanced Settings Port forwarding If you configure port forwarding, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN 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.
