Your Siemens Gigaset SE361 WLAN is a powerful but easy-to-use device that connects
your PC (WLAN) or your local network (LAN) to the Internet without the need for wires
(via a DSL or cable modem).
You can connect your PC wirelessly to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and create a wireless
local network (WLAN). For network security, wireless transmission can be encrypted
using the WPA standard or 64/128-bit WEP.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN allows several users to access the Internet simultaneously. A
single user account can be shared, if your Internet Provider permits this. If you want to
surf the Internet at the lowest possible cost, then the Gigaset SE361 WLAN is a conven-
ient and effective solution.
You can connect a DSL or cable modem to the WAN interface of your Gigaset SE361
WLAN.
Despite its extensive range of functions, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN is easy for both
experts and non experts to handle. It can be configured and made operational within a
few minutes.

Local networks with Gigaset products
You can use the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to set up a local area network, e.g. a home net-
work. All the PCs in this network can communicate with each other and have access to
the Internet.
There are various ways in which you can set up the network with a Gigaset SE361
WLAN. You can
u set up a wired local area network (Ethernet) and allow the connected PCs access to
the Internet (see page 9).
u set up a wireless local network (WLAN) and allow the connected PCs access to the
Internet (see page 10).
u set up a local network comprising wireless and wired network components (see
page 12).

Wired local area network (Ethernet)
In a wired local area network, PCs communicate with one another via an Ethernet cable.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN establishes the connection between the PCs, which you can
connect to the four Ethernet LAN ports. The PCs must be equipped with a network
socket (Ethernet). New PCs frequently already have this socket. For older PCs you will
need to install an Ethernet network card. An Ethernet cable (CAT5) is used to connect
the PC to the Ethernet LAN socket on the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. One cable is supplied
with the device; you can obtain additional Ethernet cables from your retailer.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN allows all PCs to access the Internet simultaneously.

Wireless local area network (WLAN)
In a wireless local area network (WLAN) PCs are linked without wires or cables. For this
the PCs have to be equipped with a wireless network adapter (WLAN adapter) such as a
Gigaset USB Stick 54 or you can use a PC with a wireless option built in.
We generally differentiate between two types of wireless network:
u Infrastructure mode
u Ad-hoc mode
Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode connects wireless and wired networks with one another. In addi-
tion to the mobile stations, the infrastructure mode needs an access point such as the
Gigaset SE361 WLAN. In infrastructure mode the stations in the network always com-
municate via this access point. Each station that wants to be part of a wireless network
must first be registered with the access point before it can exchange data.
The access point establishes the connection between the mobile stations of a wireless
network and a wired LAN (Ethernet) or the Internet. This is described as the device's
router functionality. The router sends data packets that are not addressed to stations
within the network "outside," and forwards data packets originating from "outside" to
the appropriate station within the network.
You can use the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to connect
u wirelessly networked PCs to the Internet and
u wirelessly networked PCs to an Ethernet network.
Infrastructure mode is the default configuration of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. This con-
figuration is described in the quick guide that comes with the device.
Ad-hoc mode
An ad-hoc network is a wireless network that has been configured without an access
point or a router. The mobile network components that communicate with each other
directly and wirelessly form the network on an "ad-hoc" basis, i.e. as and when required.
All the stations in the network have the same rights. Ad-hoc networks are used wher-
ever communications networks have to be set up quickly and without any existing net-
work infrastructure, and where participants are on the move.

Linking wireless networks with the Internet
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN has a WAN port that permits all stations within its local area
network to access the Internet simultaneously. To be able to use this functionality you
need a DSL or cable connection and a suitable modem. You can usually obtain the line
and a modem from an Internet service provider.
This illustration shows the commonest method of application. One or more PCs com-
municate wirelessly with the Gigaset SE361 WLAN in infrastructure mode. The Gigaset
SE361 WLAN forwards the data to the Internet via a DSL or cable modem. Data from the
Internet flows back to the PC along the same route.

Linking a wireless network (WLAN) to an Ethernet (LAN)
Wireless local area networks can work easily together with existing Ethernet networks.
If you wish to connect mobile stations to an existing wired network, you must group all
the mobile stations into a wireless network in infrastructure mode.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN 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 SE361 WLAN.
Note:
You can also connect an Ethernet router or switch to a LAN port to access a larger Eth-
ernet. If you want to link the Gigaset WLAN network to an existing network, a large
number of settings have to be applied. It is therefore not possible for us to provide a
general example for this use; configuration must be defined separately for each indi-
vidual case. We advise having such networks configured by a specialist.

Features and applications
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN's wide range of features make it ideal for a large number of
applications, e.g.:
u Internet access
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN gives several users access to the Internet when a DSL or
cable modem is connected.
As many DSL providers set up Internet access via the PPPoE protocol, the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN contains an integrated PPPoE Client, which means you no longer
need to set up this service on your PC yourself.
Shared Internet access
If your Internet provider permits this, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN supports Internet
access for up to 252 users. In practice, multiple users in your network can surf the
Internet simultaneously using just one Internet access.
u Setting up a local network
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN permits connections
for four devices via Ethernet ports with a transmission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps
(with automatic recognition).
for up to 32 mobile terminals via a radio interface with a transmission speed of
up to 54 Mbps. It complies with the IEEE 802.11g standard and can work with all
products that satisfy the IEEE 802.11g or 802.11b standard.
Using a Gigaset SE361 WLAN 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 network,
e.g. a file server or printer.
u Security functions
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN offers comprehensive security measures:
Firewall protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
All PCs in the local area network use the Public IP address of the Gigaset SE361
WLAN for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Inter-
net. The Gigaset SE361 WLAN only allows access from the Internet if this has
been requested from within the local area network.
With the firewall the Gigaset SE361 WLAN also offers comprehensive protection
against hacker attacks.
Service filtering and URL filtering
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN can filter Internet access. Here you determine which
PCs may access which Internet services.
In addition, you can deactivate access to certain Internet domains and sites (URL
filtering).
Access control and encryption for the local wireless network
You can use various encryption methods and authentication methods (WEP, WPA/
WPA2-PSK, MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to your wireless
LAN or make data illegible to unauthorised parties.

The sending power can be adjusted to suit local conditions. If you limit the reach
of your wireless network to the size you need, you also make electronic eaves-
dropping more difficult.
u Other options
Exposed Host
You can set up a PC on your local network to be a virtual server and release it for
unrestricted access from the Internet.
Port forwarding
You can release individual services on a PC that is integrated into the network.

Procedure for installation and configuration
1. If your PC does not dispose of an integrated LAN or WLAN interface, first install an
Ethernet network card or a wireless Network adapter such as the Gigaset USB Stick
54 in the PCs you want to connect to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. The installation proc-
ess is described in the user guides for these products.
2. Make the necessary connections (PCs, modem) to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and
switch the device on (see the section entitled "Connecting the Gigaset SE361 WLAN"
on page 20).
3. Before the PCs can communicate with the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and with each other
in a local network, you must change their network settings. This will normally be the
case if you are using the Windows default settings. To find out how to do this, read
the section entitled "Configuring the local network" on page 76. First connect just
one PC to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. You can then carry out the basic configuration.
After that you can connect further PCs.
In a wireless connection you establish the link from the PC's wireless network
adapter to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. This is described in the user guide for the net-
work adapter.
4. Configure the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to activate the device's Internet access (refer to
the section entitled "Basic Setup Wizard" on page 28). To do this you will require ac-
cess data from your Internet service provider.
If you want to use the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's other functions, e.g. the comprehensive
security features, use the router's Security Setup (see page 32) or the Advanced set-
tings menu(see page 40).
Note:
When installing wireless network adapters: The default SSID for the Gigaset SE361
WLAN is ConnectionPoint.

Making the connection to the PC
You can connect wired or wireless PCs to your Gigaset SE361 WLAN to create a local area
network (LAN).
Wireless
A wireless connection is made using a wireless network adapter that must be installed
in your PC. This can be, for example, a Gigaset USB Stick 54 or another 802.11g or
802.11b-compatible wireless network adapter.
You define a Radio network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID. You must
therefore assign the SSID of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to the network adapters. The fac-
tory set SSID is ConnectionPoint.
If the correct SSID has been entered in your PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless
link will be established automatically once you connect your Gigaset SE361 WLAN to the
mains power supply (see page 23).

delivery, the configuration of your Gigaset SE361 WLAN is protected with the admin
Password. To prevent unauthorised changes to the configuration, you should set your
own Password and change this Password from time to time.
Enter the default password (or the new password you have assigned) in the Current
password field.
Enter a new password in the New password field, and repeat it in the Confirm new
password field.
The Password can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long. The password is case
sensitive. Avoid proper names and all too obvious words. Use a combination of let-
ters and numbers.

SSID
Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, they must
all use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).
On delivery, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's default SSID is ConnectionPoint. For security
reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast.
If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN will send the SSID in all data transmis-
sions, and your Gigaset SE361 WLAN's SSID will be displayed on all PCs that have a wire-
less network adapter. In this case eavesdroppers could use the SSID to gain access to
your local network.
Enter a character string of your choice in the SSID field. The SSID is case sensitive. It
can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long.
Make a note of the SSID. You will need it to log on your PC.
Note:
If you ever forget your Password you will have to return the Gigaset SE361 WLAN
to its factory settings (see page 18). admin is then again assigned as the Pass-
word. Please bear in mind that this will return all the configuration settings to the
factory settings.
Note:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until the new
SSID has been entered in them as well.

Setting security functions for the wireless network
In the next step you can set the encryption and authentication methods for your wire-
less network.
Wireless networks are even more strongly exposed to the risk of eavesdropping than
wired networks. With conventional network adapters an intruder only needs a device
with a WLAN adapter (e.g. a notebook or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant)) with an
appropriately configured network card in order to eavesdrop on every communication
made via a nearby wireless LAN.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN uses effective encryption methods to largely prevent eaves-
dropping.
You can use the following security mechanisms:
u WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK (see page 34)
u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy, see page 35)
We recommend using WPA2-PSK if it is supported by all components in your wireless
network.
You will find further options for setting data encryption in the Advanced Settings
menu (see page 58).
WPA2 / WPA with Pre-shared key (PSK)
WPA 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 WPA2 standard uses AES for encryption.
WPA-PSK is a special WPA mode for users at home and in small companies without a
company authentication server. Encryption keys are automatically generated with the
Pre-shared key, automatically changed ("rekeying") and authenticated between the
devices after a certain period of time (Rekey interval).
Select the WPA2-PSK option if it is supported by all components in your wireless net-
work.
or
Select WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK if some or all components in your wireless network
support WPA with the TKIP protocol.
Note:
If WDS is enabled (see page 62) only WEP is available as encryption method.
Note:
Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a wireless network protected by
WPA must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA on your
PC, read the user guide supplied with your network adapter.

Enter a key of your choice in the Pre-shared key field (min. 8 to max. 63 characters)
and confirm it by repeating the entry.
To go to the next step, click on Next >.
WEP encryption
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an encryption procedure for radio signals in wireless
networks and complies with the IEEE 802.11 standard.
If you transmit data wirelessly and not all components in your wireless network support
the higher security standard WPA (see page 34), we recommend that you activate WEP
Encryption on these network components.
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.
Note:
u It is very important that you make a note of the Pre-shared key. You will need
this information to configure the wireless network adapters correctly.
u When you have completed the Security Setup Wizard you must also change
the encryption data on the wireless network adapters in the connected PCs
since, without the change, they will not be able to access the Gigaset SE361
WLAN's wireless network.

Access control within the wireless network
In this step you can specify which PCs will have wireless access to the Gigaset SE361
WLAN and hence to your LAN. Access control is based on the MAC addresss of the PCs'
network adapters. You can enter the MAC addresses for the PCs manually or select them
from the list of PCs that are currently logged in.
The default setting for access control is disabled. This means that all PCs that use the
correct SSID and the right encryption method can log in.
Next to MAC address filter select the option On to activate MAC filtering.
Entering MAC addresses manually
Enter the MAC address of the network adapter. You will normally find this address
on a label on the device.
Enter a name for the PC.
Click on Add to add the entry to the list.
Selecting from the list of known PCs
Select the required PC from the Known wireless clients list. All PCs that are cur-
rently logged in to the router with the correct SSID are displayed.
Click on Add to add the selected PC to the list.

Saving settings
On the next screen you close the wizard and save the settings. You will be informed of
any security risks that still exist.
Click on Finish to close the wizard.
The settings will now be active on your Gigaset SE361 WLAN.
Note:
If you activate MAC access control, you must at least enter the PC from which you
are configuring the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. If you fail to do this, you will no longer
be able to access the user interface and an error message will be shown.
If, by mistake, you have denied all PCs access to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN you have
two options:
u You can reset the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to the factory settings (see page 18).
u You can connect a PC to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN using one of the LAN con-
nections (by cable). Since MAC access control only applies to PCs that are con-
nected "wirelessly", you can use this PC to change the configuration.
Note:
You must now configure the WEP or WPA key for your PC's wireless network adapter,
if this has been configured with other values. Once you have done this you can log in
to your Gigaset SE361 WLAN wirelessly again.

entered by default on the screen.
You can also often confirm the defaults for the Other option.
Check that the Protocol complies with the data supplied by your Internet provider.
Select how Internet sessions are to be established via the Connection mode:
Select Always on if the connection is to remain set up when the Gigaset SE361
WLAN is switched on.
Select Connect on demand if applications such as a Web browser or an e-mail
program are allowed to connect to the Internet automatically.
In the Idle time before disconnect field, enter a period of time after which the
Internet connection is to close down automatically if no data is transmitted
(default setting: 3 minutes, range: 1 to 99 minutes).
This time setting only applies to the Connect on demand option. A permanent
connection is achieved using the Always on option.
Select Connect manually if you always want to establish and end the connection
to the Internet manually. If you subscribe to a time-based service this will save
you high connection charges. How to establish a connection manually is
described on page 64.

Using UPnP (Universal Plug & Play)
PCs with UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) can offer their own network services and auto-
matically use services offered on the network.
As soon as you have installed UPnP in the operating system of a PC and activated it on
the router, applications on this PC (e.g. Microsoft Messenger) can communicate via the
Internet without you needing to grant explicit authorisation. In this case, the router
automatically implements Port Forwarding, see page 50, thereby facilitating communi-
cation via the Internet.
You will see a symbol for your Gigaset SE361 WLAN in the taskbar on the PC on which
UPnP is installed. Windows XP systems will also include the icon under its Network Con-
nections. Clicking on this icon opens the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's configuration screens.
In the Advanced Settings Internet menu, select the entry
Internet Connection.
Select UPnP.
IGMP proxy server
IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) enables a PC to report its membership of
a multicast group to other PCs over the Internet. With multicasting, a PC can send con-
tent on the Internet to several other PCs that have registered an interest in the first com-
puter's data and information.
Activate IGMP proxy server if you wish to use this function.
Note:
Check whether the UPnP function has been installed in your PC's operating system. If
not, you may have to install your operating system's UPnP components. Please consult
your PC operating instructions.
Note:
When the UPnP function is active, system applications can assign and use Ports on
a PC. This can be a security risk.

DNS servers
DNS is a decentralised service that assigns PC names or Internet addresses (Domain
names) and IP addresses to one another. A DNS server has to administer this informa-
tion for each server or each LAN with an Internet connection.
Normally your Internet provider supplies you with a DNS server, which makes this
assignment when the connection to the Internet is set up. If necessary, you can define
the DNS server to be used for Internet connections manually.
In the Advanced Settings Internet menu, select the entry DNS Servers.
Activate the Use custom DNS servers function by selecting On.
Enter the IP addresses for your Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server.
MAC address
If you had Internet access through the same Internet provider before connecting the
Gigaset SE361 WLAN, then it is possible that the MAC address of one of your PCs was
used for registration when access was configured. In this case, you must either replace
the current MAC address with the MAC address registered with the Internet provider or
ask your Internet provider to register a new MAC address for your account.
Carry out the following steps:
Connect a PC to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and open the configuration environment.
In the Advanced Settings Internet menu, select the entry MAC address.

rently connected PC was previously registered for connecting to the Internet or if
you have re-registered the MAC address of the PC on which you are currently
working.
Use custom MAC address: Select this option if you have asked your Internet pro-
vider to register a new MAC address and this is not the MAC address of the PC on
which you are currently carrying out the configuration.
Firewall
The firewall functions of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN include various security functions for
your local network.
You can block individual PCs' access to individual services or Internet sites (see page 46).
The firewall functions for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN are activated and configured in the
factory. If you wish to deactivate the firewall, carry out the following steps:
In the Advanced Settings Internet menu, select the entry Firewall.

Setting up the NAT function
Your Gigaset SE361 WLAN comes provided with the NAT (Network Address Translation)
function. With address translation, several users on your local network can access the
Internet via one or more public IP addresses. In the default setting, all local IP addresses
are mapped to your router's public IP address.
One property of NAT is that data from the Internet is not allowed into your local network
unless it has been explicitly requested by one of the PCs on that network. Most Internet
applications run behind the NAT firewall without any problems. If you request Internet
pages, for example, or send and receive e-mails, the request for data from the Internet
comes from a PC on the local network and the router allows the data through. The
router opens exactly one port for the application. A port is an internal PC address
through which the data is exchanged between a server on the Internet and a client on
a PC in the local network. Communicating via a port follows the rules of a specific pro-
tocol (TCP or UDP).
If an external application tries to send a call to a PC within the local network, the router
will block it. There is no open port via which the data could enter the local network.
Some applications, such as games on the Internet, require several links, i.e. several ports
so that the players can communicate with each other. In addition, these applications
must also be permitted to send requests from other users on the Internet to the user on
the local network. Initially, these applications will not work if Network Address Transla-
tion (NAT) is activated.
Using port forwarding (the forwarding of requests to specific ports) you make the router
forward requests from the Internet for a certain service, e.g a game, to the appropriate
port or ports on the PC on which the game is running.
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.
Where configuration is concerned, this means:
u You have to define a so-called trigger port for the application and also the protocol
(TCP or UDP) that this port uses. To this trigger port you then assign the public ports
that have to be opened for the application.
u The router checks all outgoing data for port number and protocol. If it recognises a
match of port and protocol to a defined trigger port, then it will open the assigned
public ports and notes the IP address of the PC that sent the data. If data comes back
from the Internet via one of these public ports, it allows the data through and routes
it to the right PC. A trigger event always comes from a PC within the local network.
If a trigger port is addressed from outside, it is simply ignored by the router.

When the Gigaset SE361 WLAN is delivered, the NAT function (Network Address Trans-
lation) is activated, i.e. all IP addresses of PCs in the local network are mapped to the
router's public IP address when accessing the Internet.
You can use the NAT settings for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to
u set up port triggering for special applications (see page 49),
u set up the Gigaset SE361 WLAN as a virtual server by configuring Port Forwarding
(see page 50),
u open the firewall for selected PCs (see page 51).
You can activate or deactivate the NAT function (default setting: NAT function is acti-
vated).
In the Advanced Settings Internet menu, select Address Translation (NAT) and
mark the required option.
Note:
u An application that is configured for port triggering can only be run by one user in
the local network at a time.
u As long as the public ports are open, they can be used by unauthorised persons to
gain access to a PC in the local network.
Note:
For the functions described below you must make sure that the IP addresses of the
PCs do not change. If the IP addresses of the PCs are assigned via the DHCP server of
the Gigaset SE361 WLAN, you must select the option Never expires for the settings
on the Local Network screen for Lease time (see page 55) or assign static IP
addresses for the PCs.

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.
To set up port triggering for a service, select Port Triggering in the Address Trans-
lation (NAT) menu.
Select the required application from the Predefined applications list.
Click on the Add button. The data for the required service is entered on the screen.
Select the option in the Enabled column.
If the application you require is not in the list, you must enter the relevant data on the
screen manually:
Local protocol: Select the protocol that is to be monitored for outgoing traffic.
Local port: Enter the port that is to be monitored for outgoing traffic.
Public protocol: Select the protocol that is to be allowed for incoming data traffic.
Public port: Enter the port that is to be opened for incoming data traffic.
Description: Enter a description to help you identify different entries.
Click on the Delete button to delete an entry. Click on the Add button to add a new
entry.
Note:
You can enter a single port number, several individual port numbers separated by
commas, port blocks consisting of two port numbers separated by a hyphen, or
any combination of these, e.g. 80,90-140,180.

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.
Internet services are addressed via defined port numbers. The Gigaset SE361 WLAN
needs a mapping table of the port numbers to redirect the service requests to the server
that actually provides the service. For this, Port Forwarding has to be configured.
To set up port forwarding for a service, select Port Forwarding in the Address
Translation (NAT) menu.
Select the required application from the Predefined applications list.
Click on the Add button. The data for the required service is entered on the screen.
If the application you require is not in the list, you must enter the relevant data on the
screen manually:
Select the protocol for the service you are providing from the Protocol list.
Under Public port, enter the port number of the service you are providing.
In the Local port field, enter the internal port number to which service requests are
to be forwarded.
In the Local IP address field, enter the IP address of the PC which provides the serv-
ice.
Example: The Web server has been configured to react to requests on port 8080.
However, requests from websites enter by port 80 (default setting). If you add the
PC to the forwarding table and define port 80 as the public port and port 8080 as an
internal port, all requests from the Internet are diverted to the service with port
number 80 on the Web server of the PC you have defined with port 8080.

Opening the firewall for a selected PC (Exposed Host)
You can set up a client as an exposed host in your local network. Your device will then
forward all incoming data traffic from the Internet to this client. This will enable you, for
example, to operate your own Web server on one of the clients in your local network
and make it accessible to Internet users.
As an exposed host, your local client is directly visible on the Internet and therefore par-
ticularly exposed to risk (e.g. from hacker attacks). You should only activate this func-
tion where it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and where other
functions (e.g. port forwarding) are not adequate. In this case you should take appropri-
ate measures on the clients concerned.
To set up a PC as an Exposed Host, select Exposed Host in the Address Translation
(NAT) menu.
Enter the Local IP address of the PC that is to be enabled as Exposed Host.
Enter a name for the PC in the Comment field.
Enable the entry by selecting the option.
Click on Delete to delete the entry from the list.
Note:
You can enter a single port number, several individual port numbers separated by
commas, port blocks consisting of two port numbers separated by a hyphen, or
any combination of these, e.g. 80,90-140,180.
Note:
Only one PC per public IP address can be set up as Exposed Host (see also the section
entitled "Port forwarding" on page 50.

Dynamic DNS
Any service you provide on the Internet can be accessed via a Domain name. Your
router's Public IP address is assigned to this domain name. If your Internet Service Pro-
vider for your local network's WAN connection assigns the IP address dynamically, the
IP address of the router may change. The assignment to the domain name will no longer
be valid and your service will no longer be available.
In this case you must ensure that the assignment of the IP address to the domain name
is constantly updated. This is handled by the dynamic DNS service (DynDNS). You can
use the DynDNS service to assign your Gigaset SE361 WLAN an individual static domain
name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.
There are various providers on the Internet who offer a free DynDNS service. The Giga-
set SE361 WLAN uses the DynDNS service from DynDNS.org and from TZO.org. If you
use this DynDNS provider's service, then your service can be reached on the Internet as
a subdomain of one of this provider's domains.
If you have activated the device's DynDNS function, it will monitor its public IP address.
When this changes, it sets up a connection to the Internet site and updates its IP address
there.
To use the router's DynDNS function, select
Dynamic DNS in the Advanced Settings Internet menu.
Activate the Dynamic DNS function.
From the Service provider list, select the service offering dynamic DNS
(DynDNS.org or TZO.com).
Note:
You will have to open an account with the provider before you can use the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN's DynDNS function. Follow the instructions on the provider's web site.
Enter the user data during configuration of the router.

QoS (Quality of Service)
Many communication and multimedia applications require high speed and large band-
widths to transfer data between the local area network and the Internet. However, for
many applications there is often only one Internet connection with limited capacity
available. QoS (Quality of Service) divides this capacity between the different applica-
tions and provides undelayed, continuous data transfer where data packets with higher
priority are given transmission preference.
In the Advanced Settings Internet menu, select the entry QoS.
Activate Differentiated services, i.e. the prioritisation of certain services for data
transfer between your network and the Internet.
In the field next to Upstream rate, enter the maximum speed of your DSL line for
sending data into the Internet. The speed is specified in the contract with your Inter-
net provider.

LAN configuration
You can use the LAN configuration to define an IP address for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN
and configure the DHCP server.
Select Advanced Settings Local Network.
Defining the private IP address for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN
On this screen you can change the device's IP address. The default IP address is
192.168.2.1. This is the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's Private IP address. It is the address under
which the device can be reached on the local network. The address can be freely
assigned from the block of available addresses. The IP address under which the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN can be reached from outside is assigned by the Internet Service Provider.
If you want to assign the Gigaset SE361 WLAN a different IP address, enter it in the
fields next to IP address.
Select a number from the Subnet mask list.
We recommend using an address from a block that is reserved for private use. This
address block is 192.168.1.1 192.168.255.254.
Note:
New settings only take effect after rebooting the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. If neces-
sary, reconfigure the IP address on your PC (including one that is statically
assigned) so that it matches the new configuration.

Configuring the DHCP server
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN has a DHCP server, which is enabled on delivery. As a result,
the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the Gigaset SE361 WLAN.
To activate the DHCP server, select On.
If the DHCP server is active, you can define a Lease time. The Lease time determines
the period for which the PCs keep the IP addresses assigned to them without any
change.
Define the range of IP addresses which the Gigaset SE361 WLAN should use to auto-
matically assign IP addresses to PCs. Define the First issued IP address and the Last
issued IP address.
You can define the name of a domain (Windows workgroup) in the Domain name
field.
Assigning static IP addresses to individual PCs
Even if you have activated the DHCP server you can still assign a static IP address to indi-
vidual PCs (e.g. when setting up these PCs for NAT functions).
Enter the MAC address and the name of the PC in the Device name field.
Enter the IP address you wish to assign to the PC in the field below.
Note:
u If the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's DHCP server is activated, you can configure the net-
work setting on the PC so that the option Obtain an IP address automatically is
set. To find out how to do this, please read the section entitled
"Configuring the local network" on page 76.
u If you deactivate the DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the
PCs via the network settings.
Note:
If you select the Never expires option, the IP addresses are never changed. You
must select this option if you want to make NAT or firewall settings using the IP
addresses of the PCs, or else you must assign these PCs static IP addresses.

Configuration for wireless connections
If PCs communicate wirelessly via the Gigaset SE361 WLAN, you should take steps to
enhance the security of your wireless network. You make this configuration via the
Advanced Settings Wireless Network menu. Here you can
u activate the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's wireless module (see below),
u set the channel and SSID (see page 56),
u set Encryption for wireless traffic (see page 58),
u restrict access to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's LAN (see page 58),
u configure the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's repeater function (see page 62).
In the Advanced Settings menu, select Wireless Network.
Select the On option for Wireless Network (default setting).
Devices can only log in wirelessly if the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's wireless module is
activated.
You can now make the settings for your wireless network.
Transmission mode
The Transmission mode defines which IEEE standard you use to transmit data in your
network. IEEE 802.11g permits data transfer up to 54 Mbps, IEEE 802.11b up to
11 Mbps.
For the best possible data transfer rates in your network select IEEE 802.11g only. You
can use this mode if the PC has the appropriate network adapter and there are no other
WLAN adapters in the vicinity.
To operate clients that have older network adapters in your network, select IEEE
802.11b/g (mixed). If you exclusively use older adapters select IEEE 802.11b only.
Select the required Transmission mode for your wireless network.

SSID
For the wireless network components to communicate with each other, they must have
the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).
On delivery, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's default SSID is ConnectionPoint. For security
reasons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast (see below).
Enter a character string of your choice. The SSID is case sensitive. It can be up to
32 alphanumerical characters long.
Channel
All the clients in your network use the set radio channel for wireless data transfer. In the
case of potential interferences caused by other 2.4 GHz devices in the neighbourhood,
you can choose between various channels.
Select the channel to be used for transmitting the data.
SSID broadcast
If this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset SE361 WLAN will send the SSID
will be sent with all data transmissions, and your Gigaset SE361 WLAN's SSID will be dis-
played on PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, eavesdroppers could
use the SSID to gain access to your local network.
If you disable SSID broadcast, your Gigaset SE361 WLAN's SSID will not be displayed.
This increases protection against unauthorised access to your wireless network. How-
ever, you must make a note of the SSID. You will need it to log on your PC.
Select the Off option to deactivate SSID broadcast.
Sending power
Select the required sending power for your device.
We recommend that you select a sending power with a range to suit the spatial environ-
ment of your local network. A range that is much greater makes it easier to eavesdrop
on your wireless data transmission.
Network performance
You can optimise Network performance in the following ways:
u Optimize throughput
maximises the data transmission rate in your network and ensures that data traffic
is transmitted immediately.
u Optimize power saving
optimises power consumption in order to extend standby times for mobile devices
in your network, e.g. notebooks, PDAs and WLAN handsets.
Note:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until you enter
the new SSID on them as well.

u Custom
This allows you to adjust the Network performance to suit your needs on the basis
of the following items:
Beacon interval defines the interval between two Beacons.
Measured in milliseconds, default = 100 msecs.
DTIM interval defines the interval between two DTIMs for devices in power-sav-
ing mode.
Measured in number of beacons, default = 2 beacons.
Choose the desired Network performance.
Setting wireless security
If you send data over wireless channels, we recommend that you activate encryption
(WEP or WPA) on your wireless network components.
WPA 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 WPA2 standard is based on AES. We therefore recommend that you choose WPA2
or WPA encryption if it is supported by all components in your wireless network.
In the Wireless Network menu, select Encryption.
The following security mechanisms are currently available:
u WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK (see page 58)
u WEP encryption (Wired Equivalent Privacy), (see page 59)
WPA2-PSK and WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK
WPA with Pre-shared Key (WPA-PSK)
WPA-PSK is a special WPA mode that provides encryption protection for users at home
and in small companies without a company authentication server. Encryption keys are
automatically generated with the Pre-shared Key, and automatically changed (rekeying)
and authenticated between the devices after a certain period of time (Rekey interval).
Which standard of encryption you can choose depends on the components in your wire-
less network. Every PC (network adapter) that requires access to a wireless network pro-
tected by WPA must also support WPA. To find out whether and how you can use WPA
on your PC, read your network adapter's operating instructions. If all components sup-
port WPA2, select the WPA2-PSK option. If you are using network adapters that only
support WPA, select the WPA2-PSK / WPA-PSK option. The entries described below are
the same for both options.
Select the required option in the Security field.
Note:
If WDS is enabled (see page 62) only WEP is available as encryption method.

Enter a key in the Pre-shared key field (up to 32 alphanumerical characters) and
confirm it by entering it again.
Apply the settings by clicking OK.
WEP encryption
If WPA is not supported by all components in your wireless network, we advise you to
activate WEP Encryption on your wireless network components.
In the Security field, select the WEP option.
Select the Authentication type:
Select Shared if you want each client to log in to the network with a specified key.
Select Open to permit data transfer within your wireless network without using
a key.
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 both the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and all your
wireless network adapters.

Selecting from the list of known PCs
From the Known wireless clients list (all PCs that currently have access to the Giga-
set SE361 WLAN), select the PC you want to add to the access control list.
Repeater function (WDS)
If you want to use a repeater in your wireless network to extend the range, you must
activate the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) function. A repeater installed at the
range limit of the access point ensures that the data is forwarded between clients in the
access points wireless network and clients in its own radio coverage area. Repeaters and
access points form a common wireless network in which all clients can move about
freely. Clients automatically set up a connection to the next access point / repeater
(Roaming). You must determine for security purposes which access points / repeaters
are to form a common wireless network.
In the Advanced Settings Wireless Network menu, select Repeater (WDS).
Next to Wireless distribution system, select the On option to activate WDS.
Note:
If you activate MAC access control, you must at least enter the PC from which you
are configuring the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. If you fail to do this, you will no longer
be able to access the user interface and an error message will be shown.
If, by mistake, you have denied all PCs access to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN you have
two options:
u You can reset the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to the factory settings (see page 18).
u You can connect a PC to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN using one of the LAN con-
nections. As MAC access control only applies to PCs that are connected wire-
lessly, you can use this PC to change the configuration.

Security
On the Security screen in the Status menu you will see information about possible
security risks for your device and your network.
u System password not changed
Your device's configuration program is not effectively protected against unauthor-
ised access as you have not changed the password since setup. The section entitled
"System Password" on page 66 describes how to avoid this security risk.
u Identification of your wireless network visible or not changed
Unauthorised users can also find your wireless network easily as you have not
changed the ID for your wireless network (SSID) since setup and have not deacti-
vated SSID broadcast. The section entitled "Configuration for wireless connections"
on page 56 describes how to avoid this security risk.
u Encryption for your wireless network not activated
None of the data in your wireless network is encrypted when transmitted and can
therefore easily be intercepted. Unauthorised users can also easily access your net-
work, your PCs and your Internet connection by this means. The section entitled
"Setting wireless security" on page 58 describes how to avoid this security risk.
u Firewall for your Internet connection turned off
Your network is not protected against hackers who gain unauthorised access via the
Internet. The section entitled "Firewall" on page 45 describes how to avoid this secu-
rity risk.
u Address translation for your Internet connection turned off
The clients in your network are not protected against unauthorised access via the
Internet. The section entitled "Setting up the NAT function" on page 47 describes
how to avoid this security risk.
u One or more of your local clients directly exposed to the Internet
One or more clients in your network are directly visible to the Internet as exposed
hosts and therefore particularly exposed to risk (e.g. hacker attacks). You should
only activate this function where it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web
server) and where other functions (e.g. port forwarding) are not adequate. In this
case you should take appropriate measures on the clients concerned. The section
entitled "Opening the firewall for a selected PC (Exposed Host)" on page 51
describes how to avoid this security risk.

Once you have set up the hardware and connected all the devices, you must configure
the network settings for all the PCs that are to communicate with each other via the
Gigaset SE361 WLAN.
In this section we assume that you will use the Gigaset SE361 WLAN's DHCP service. This
means that IP addresses are automatically assigned to the PCs (Dynamic IP addresses).
This is also the device's default setting.
In many cases, however, it is advisable to assign Static IP addresses, for example if you
wish to run a wireless network in Ad-hoc mode. How you configure dynamic address
assignment on the Gigaset SE361 WLAN is described in the section entitled "LAN con-
figuration" on page 54.
If your network is already set up you can read on from "The user interface" on page 24.
The network configuration varies depending on the Windows operating system you are
using. You will find the description for Windows XP on and after page 76, and for Win-
dows 2000 on and after page 84.
Have your Windows Installation CD to hand. You may be prompted to insert it.
Network configuration with Windows XP
To integrate a PC with Windows XP into a network that is configured with a Gigaset
SE361 WLAN you must carry out the following steps:
1. Configure the network (see below)
2. Select a computer name and workgroup (see page 79)
3. Check the network settings and complete the installation procedure (see page 79)
4. Make the TCP/IP settings (see page 80)
5. Deactivate the http proxy (see page 82)
6. Configure the popup blocker (see page 82)
7. Synchronising the TCP/IP settings with the Gigaset SE361 WLAN (page 83)
Note:
The Windows user interfaces shown in this guide may differ from the one on your
screen as a result of individual settings, different versions of Windows or Service
Packs. The illustrations always reflect the state after immediate installation.
Note:
The name of the menu items may differ slightly from one version of Windows XP to
another. However, the configuration settings described below apply generally.

Checking the connection to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN
Once the network has been set up on your PC, you can check whether the PC is correctly
connected to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. This can be done as follows:
Open Command prompt. To do this, click on Start Programs Command
prompt.
Enter the command ping 192.168.2.1.
The ping command sends data packets to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN with the specified
IP address and checks whether the router responds. If this is the case, the command
presents statistics about the connection, e.g. how many data packets were sent, how
many received, how long the transfer took, etc. If you can see this information, then the
connection to the router is functioning correctly.
If the command does not return any statistics but ends with a time-out, this means that
the components cannot communicate with each other. Check the following points:
1. Is the Ethernet cable between the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and the PC correctly con-
nected or is there a wireless connection via a wireless network adapter?
The LED for the LAN connections on the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and the link display
for the network card in your PC must light up. For wireless connections the Gigaset
WLAN Adapter Monitor must display connection information.
2. Is TCP/IP configured correctly on your PC?
If the Gigaset SE361 WLAN has the IP address 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address must
be between 192.168.2.2 and 192.168.2.255. The default gateway must have the
address 192.168.2.1.
3. Does the IP address match the defined subnet mask?
As the Subnet mask for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN is set to 255.255.255.0 the PCs IP
address may differ from the routers IP address only in the last address field.
If you can successfully address the Gigaset SE361 WLAN with the ping command, then
the PC has been configured correctly.
Note:
192.168.2.1 is the default IP address for the Gigaset SE361 WLAN. If the IP
address has been changed, enter the new IP address.

Troubleshooting
This section describes common problems and their solutions. The Gigaset SE361 WLAN
is easy to monitor thanks to its LED displays. Problems can be quickly identified. If you
cannot solve connection problems after checking the LED displays, please consult the
other sections shown in the following table.
Symptom Possible cause and remedial actions
Power lamp does not light
up.
No power supply.
Check whether the mains adapter is connected to
the Gigaset SE361 WLAN and a power outlet.
Check whether the power outlet and the mains
adapter are working properly. If the mains adapter
is not working properly, contact our customer care
unit (see page 99).
The LAN LED on a connected
device does not light up.
No LAN connection.
Make sure that the connected device is switched
on.
Check whether the Ethernet cable is plugged in.
Check that you are using the right cable type
(CAT5) and that the cable is not too long (<100 m).
Check that the network card on the connected
device and the cable connections are not defective.
If necessary, replace a defective network card or
cable.
Use the Windows device manager (My Computer
Properties) to check whether the network card is
functioning. If you see a red cross or a question
mark, then the driver may not have been installed
or there is a resource conflict. Follow the Windows
instructions to remedy the problem.

You cannot connect to the
Internet.
Check whether the Connect on Demand option is
deactivated. In this case, connections cannot be
opened automatically.
Select Connect on Demand. Remember that this
setting may lead to higher costs if you are billed on
the time you use.
The connection may have been terminated manu-
ally with the Connect on Demand option selected.
Open the connection again manually using the
Connect button
or
restart the Gigaset SE361 WLAN.
In both cases, the Connect on Demand setting will
be active again.
Make sure that you have entered the access data
supplied by your service provider correctly.
There may be a problem at the service provider
end. Get in touch with your service provider.
You cannot open a connec-
tion from a wireless device
to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN.
The wireless network adapter is not using the correct
SSID.
Change the SSID on the network adapter.
Either encryption is enabled on the Gigaset SE361
WLAN but not on the wireless network adapter, or it is
not using the correct key or is using another type of
encryption.
Activate the same encryption on the network
adapter with the correct key.
If you do not know the key, you will have to reset
the Gigaset SE361 WLAN (see page 18).
Warning: Please bear in mind that this will return
all the configuration settings to the factory set-
tings.

You cannot open a connec-
tion from a wireless device
to the Gigaset SE361 WLAN.
The Wireless Network function is deactivated.
Check whether the Wireless Network function is
deactivated and, if so, activate it (see page 56).
The PC does not have a wireless connection.
Use the Windows device manager (My Computer
Properties) to check whether the network connec-
tion is functioning. If you see a red cross or a ques-
tion mark, then the driver may not have been
installed or there is a resource conflict. Follow the
Windows instructions to remedy the problem.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN or
other PCs cannot be reached
by a PC in the connected
LAN with a ping command.
Make sure that TCP/IP has been installed and con-
figured on all the PCs on the local network.
Check that the IP addresses have been correctly
configured. In most cases you can use the DHCP
function of the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to assign
dynamic addresses to the PCs in the LAN. In this
case, you must configure the TCP/IP settings of
all the PCs so that they obtain their IP address
automatically.
If you configure the IP addresses in the LAN manu-
ally, remember to use subnet mask 255.255.255.x.
This means that the first three parts of the IP
address on each PC and the Gigaset SE361 WLAN
must be identical. The device must also be config-
ured as DNS server.
No connection to the
Gigaset SE361 WLAN's con-
figuration interface.
Use the ping command to check whether you can
establish a network connection to the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN.
Check the network cable between the PC which you
want to use to manage the device and the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN.
If the PC you want to use is on the router's local net-
work, make sure that you are using the correct IP
address administration (see above).
If the PC you want to use is not on the router's local
network, it must be authorised via Remote
Management.
Password forgotten or lost Reset the Gigaset SE361 WLAN (see page 19).
Warning: Please bear in mind that this will return all
the configuration settings to the factory settings.

You cannot access a
resource (drive or printer)
on another PC.
Make sure that TCP/IP has been installed and con-
figured on all the PCs on the local network and that
the PCs all belong to the same workgroup.
Check whether the resource has been released on
the PC in question and whether you have the nec-
essary access rights.
Printing: Check whether the printer has been set up
as a network printer.
The transmission rate is too
low.
Radio data transmission depends on the operating
environment, for example the building stock or the
influence of other devices in the vicinity that trans-
mit in the 2.4-GHz frequency range.
Arrange your WLAN devices closer together.
Change the antenna direction.
Position the device elsewhere.
Switch off other radio sources in the vicinity.
They may interfere with data transmission.
Choose a different channel.
Check to see if the problem also arises with a differ-
ent type of encryption.

Access point
An access point such as the Gigaset SE361 WLAN is the central element in a wireless
local area network (WLAN). It handles connection of the wireless-linked network com-
ponents and regulates data traffic in the wireless network. The access point also serves
as an interface to other networks, e.g. an existing Ethernet LAN or via a modem to the
Internet. The network mode for wireless networks with an access point is called
Infrastructure mode.
Ad-hoc mode
Ad-hoc mode describes wireless local networks (WLANs) in which the network compo-
nents set up a spontaneous network without an Access point, e.g. several notebooks in
a conference. All the network components are peers. They must be equipped with a
wireless Network adapter.
Beacon
Beacons are data packets that are sent by devices in a wireless network to all other
devices to indicate that they are available and ready to receive. Beacons are also used to
synchronise the wireless network. A beacon interval is the period between two beacons
in milliseconds.
Bridge
A bridge connects several network segments to form a joint network, e.g. to build a TCP/
IP network. The segments can have different physical characteristics, e.g. different con-
nections such as Ethernet and wireless LANs. Linking individual segments via bridges
makes it possible to build local networks of practically unlimited size.
See also: Switch, Hub, Router, Gateway
Broadcast
A broadcast is a data packet that is not directed to a particular recipient but to all the
components in a network. The Gigaset SE361 WLAN does not pass broadcast packets on
to the Internet; they always remain within the local area network (LAN) administered
by the Gigaset SE361 WLAN.
BSSID
Basic Service Set ID
The BSSID is used for unique differentiation between one wireless network (WLAN) and
another. In Infrastructure mode the BSSID is the MAC address of the Access point. In
wireless networks in Ad-hoc mode the BSSID is the MAC address of any one of the par-
ticipants.

Client
A client is an application that requests a service from a server. For example, an HTTP cli-
ent on a PC in a local network requests data, i.e. Web pages, from an HTTP server on the
Internet. Frequently the network component (e.g. the PC) on which the client applica-
tion is running is also called a client.
Connect on demand
Connect on demand means that applications such as a Web browser, Messenger and
E-mail automatically open an Internet connection when they are launched. This can
lead to high charges if you are not using a Flat rate. This function can be deactivated at
the Gigaset SE361 WLAN to save call charges.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP handles the automatic assignment of IP addresses to network components. It was
developed due to the fact that in large networks especially the Internet defining IP
addresses is very complex as participants frequently move, drop out or new ones join.
A DHCP server automatically assigns the connected network components (DHCP Cli-
ents) Dynamic IP addresses from a defined IP pool range, thus saving a great deal of con-
figuration work. In addition, it also allows address blocks to be used more effectively:
Since not all participants are on the network at the same time, the same IP address can
be assigned to different network components in succession as and when required.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN includes a DHCP server and can automatically assign IP
addresses to PCs in the local network. You can specify that the IP addresses for certain
PCs are never changed.
DHCP server
See DHCP
DMZ
Demilitarized Zone, see also Exposed Host
DMZ describes a part of a network that is outside the Firewall. A DMZ is set up, as it
were, between a network you want to protect (e.g. a LAN) and a non-secure network
(e.g. the Internet). A DMZ is useful if you want to offer Serverservices on the Internet
which, for security reasons, will not run behind the firewall, or if Internet applications
do not function correctly behind a firewall. A DMZ permits unrestricted access from the
Internet to only one or a few network components, while the other network compo-
nents remain secure behind the firewall.

DNS
Domain Name System
DNS permits the assignment of IP addresses to computers or Domain names, which are
easier to remember. A DNS server must administer this information for each LAN with
an Internet connection. As soon as a page on the Internet is called up, the browser
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 is based on a hierar-
chical 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 next higher name serv-
ers, which again know addresses and the next higher name servers.
DNS server
See DNS
Domain name
The domain name is the reference to one or more Web servers on the Internet, e.g.
siemens.com. The domain name is mapped to the respective IP address via the DNS
service.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line
DSL is a data transmission technology in which a connection to the Internet can be run
over normal telephone lines. A DSL connection is supplied by an Internet Provider. It
requires a DSL modem.
Dynamic IP address
A dynamic IP address is assigned to a network component automatically by DHCP. This
means that the IP address of a network component can change with every login or at
certain intervals.
See also Static IP address
DTIM
Delivery Traffic Indication Message
A DTIM is a signal that is sent by an access point as part of a Beacon to a client device in
power-saving mode to indicate that a data packet is ready for delivery. The DTIM interval
defines the frequency with which a DTIM appears in a series of beacon packets.

DynDNS
Dynamic DNS
The assignment of Domain names and IP addresses is handled by the Domain Name
Service (DNS). This service is now enhanced with so-called Dynamic DNS (DynDNS) for
Dynamic IP addresses. This enables the use of a network component with a dynamic
IP address as a Server on the Internet. DynDNS ensures that a service can always be
addressed on the Internet under the same domain name regardless of the current
IP address.
Encryption
Encryption protects confidential information against unauthorised access. With an
encryption system, data packets can be sent securely over a network. The Gigaset
SE361 WLAN offers WEP encryption and WPA encryption for secure data transmission
over wireless networks.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a network technology for local networks (LANs) defined by the IEEE as stand-
ard IEEE 802.3. Ethernet uses a baseband cable with a data transmission rate of 10, 100,
or 1000 Mbps.
Exposed Host
Exposed Host refers to a PC outside the firewall.
See also DMZ
Firewall
Firewalls are used by network operators as protection against unauthorised external
access. This involves a whole bundle of hardware and software actions and technologies
that monitor and control the data flow between the private network to be protected and
an unprotected network such as the Internet.

LAN technologies, transfer protocols, data transfer speeds and wiring.
IEEE 802.11
IEEE 802.11 is a standard for wireless LANs operating in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band.
In so-called Infrastructure mode terminals can be connected to a base station (Access
point) or they can connect with each other spontaneously (Ad-hoc mode).
IGMP
Internet Group Management Protocol
IGMP is an Internet Protocol that enables an Internet computer to inform neighbouring
routers that it is a member of a multicast group. With multicasting, a computer can send
content on the Internet to several other computers that have registered an interest in
the first computer's content. Multicasting can, for example, be used for multimedia pro-
grams for media streaming to recipients that have set up multicast group membership.
Infrastructure mode
Infrastructure mode is a way of operating wireless local networks (WLANs) in which an
Access point handles the data traffic. Network components cannot establish a direct
connection with each other as is the case in Ad-hoc mode.

Internet
The Internet is a wide-area network (WAN) linking several million users around the
world. A number of Protocols have been created for exchanging data, and these are
known collectively as TCP/IP stack. All participants on the Internet can be identified by
an IP address. Servers are addressed by Domain names (e.g. siemens.com). Domain
names are assigned to IP addresses by the Domain Name Service (DNS).
Among the most important Internet services are:
u electronic mail (email)
u the World Wide Web (WWW)
u file transfer (FTP)
u discussion forums (Usenet / Newsgroups)
Internet Provider
An Internet provider (Internet Service Provider) offers access to the Internet for a fee.
IP
Internet protocol
The IP Protocol is one of the TCP/IP protocols. It is responsible for addressing parties in a
network using IP addresses, and routes data from the sender to the recipient. It decides
the paths along which the data packets travel from the sender to the recipient in a com-
plex network (routing).
IP address
An IP address is a network-wide unique address for a network component in a network
based on the TCP/IP protocol (e.g. in a local area network (LAN) or on the Internet). The
IP address has four parts (values from 0 to 255) separated by periods (e.g. 192.168.1.1).
The IP address consists of the network address and the PC address. Depending on the
Subnet mask, one part of the IP address (mostly one, two or three parts) form the net-
work address, the remainder the PC address. You can find out the IP address of your PC
by entering ipconfig in the command prompt.
IP addresses can be assigned manually (see Static IP address) or automatically (see
Dynamic IP address).
On the Internet Domain names are normally used instead of IP addresses. DNS is
responsible for assigning domain names to IP addresses.
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN has a Private IP address and a Public IP address.
IP pool range
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN's IP address pool defines a range of IP addresses that the
router's DHCP server can use to assign Dynamic IP addresses.

LAN
Local Area Network
A local area network (or local network) links network components so that they can
exchange data and share resources. The physical range is restricted to a particular area
(a site). As a rule the users and operators are identical. A local network can be connected
to other local networks or a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet.
With the Gigaset SE361 WLAN you can set up a wired local Ethernet network and a wire-
less IEEE 802.11g standard network (WLAN).
Lease time
The lease time defines the period for which PCs keep the Dynamic IP address assigned
to them by the DHCP server without changing it.
Local IP address
See Private IP address
MAC address
Media Access Control
The MAC address is used for the globally unique identification of a Network adapter. It
comprises six parts (hexadecimal numbers), e.g. 00-90-96-34-00-1A. The MAC address
is assigned by the network adapter's manufacturer and should not be changed.

NAT
Network Address Translation
NAT is a method for converting IP addresses (Private IP addresses) within a network into
one or more Public IP addresses on the Internet. With NAT several network components
in a LAN can share the router's public IP address to connect to the Internet. The network
components on the local network are hidden behind the router's IP address, which is
registered on the Internet. Because of this security function, NAT is frequently used as
part of a network Firewall. If you want to make services on a PC in the local network
available on the Internet despite NAT, you can configure the Gigaset SE361 WLAN as a
Virtual server.
Network
A network is a group of devices connected in wired or wireless mode so that they can
share resources such as data and peripherals. A general distinction is made between
local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs).
Network adapter
A network adapter is the hardware device that creates the connection between a net-
work component and a local network. The connection can be wired or wireless. An Eth-
ernet network card is an example of a wired network adapter. The Gigaset PC Card 300
and the Gigaset USB Adapter 300 are examples of wireless network adapters.
A network adapter has a unique address, the MAC address.
Port
Data is exchanged between two applications in a network across a port. The port
number addresses an application within a network component. The combination of IP
address/port number uniquely identifies the recipient or sender of a data packet within
a network. Some applications (e.g. Internet services such as HTTP or FTP) work with
fixed port numbers; others are allocated a free port number whenever they need one.
Port Forwarding
In port forwarding the Gigaset SE361 WLAN directs data packets from the Internet that
are addressed to a particular Port to the corresponding port of the appropriate network
component. This enables servers within the local area network to offer services on the
Internet without them needing a Public IP address.

PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet
PPPoE is a Protocol that connects network components in a local Ethernet network to
the Internet via a modem.
Private IP address
The private IP address (also known as the local IP address) is a network component's
address within the local network (LAN). The network operator can assign any address
he or she wants. Devices that act as a link from a local network, such as the Gigaset
SE361 WLAN, have a private and a Public IP address.
Protocol
A protocol describes the agreements for communicating in a network. It contains rules
for opening, managing and closing a connection, as well as about data formats, time
frames and how to handle potential errors. Communication between two applications
requires different protocols at different levels, e.g. the TCP/IP protocols on the Internet.
Public IP address
The public IP address (also known as global IP address) is a network component's
address on the Internet. It is assigned by the Internet Provider. Devices that create a link
from a LAN to the Internet, such as the Gigaset SE361 WLAN, have a public and a Private
IP address.
Radio network
See WLAN
Rekey interval
The rekey interval is the period after which new keys are automatically generated for
data encryption with WPA-PSK.
Remote management
Remote management refers to the ability to manage a network from a network compo-
nent that is actually outside the local area network (LAN).
Repeater
A repeater extends the range of a wireless local area network by relaying data from the
Access point to additional PCs or Network adapter.
Roaming
Roaming extends the range of a wireless LAN by using several Access points with the
same SSID and the same radio channel and linked via Ethernet. The PCs in the network
can switch dynamically between several access points without losing the existing net-
work connection.

Router
A router directs data packets from one local network (LAN) to another via the fastest
route. A router makes it possible to connect networks that have different network tech-
nologies. For example, it can link a local network via Ethernet or WLAN technology to
the Internet.

Server
A server makes a service available to other network components (Clients). The term
"server" is often used to refer to a computer or PC. However, it can also mean an appli-
cation that provides a particular service such as DNS or a Web service.
SMTP
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
The SMTP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It governs the exchange of elec-
tronic mail on the Internet. Your Internet Provider gives you access to an SMTP server.
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol
The SNMP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It provides a simple procedure
for network administration based on a system of shared information for management
data and network management messages (known as traps), and reports the occurrence
of events within the monitored network (e.g. an alarm message or notification of con-
figuration changes).
SSID
Service Set Identifier
The SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (WLAN). All wireless net-
work components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be
assigned by the network operator.
Static IP address
A static IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network con-
figuration. Unlike a Dynamic IP address, a static IP address never changes.
Subnet
A subnet divides a network into smaller units.
Subnet mask
The subnet mask determines how many parts of a network's IP address represent the
network address and how many parts represent the PC address.
The subnet mask in a network administered by the Gigaset SE361 WLAN is always
255.255.255.0. This means that the first three parts of the IP address form the network
address and only the final part is used for the PC address. In this case, the first three
parts of the IP address of all network components are therefore always the same.

Protocol family on which the Internet is based. IP forms the basis for every computer-to-
computer connection. TCP provides applications with a reliable transmission link in the
form of a continuous data stream. TCP/IP is the basis on which services such as WWW,
Mail and News are built. There are other protocols as well.
TKIP
The Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is part of the IEEE 802.11i standard and is
used to encrypt data in wireless networks.
UDP
User Datagram Protocol
UDP is a Protocol from the TCP/IP protocol family, which handles data transport between
two communication partners (applications). Unlike TCP, UDP is a non-session based pro-
tocol. It does not establish a static connection. The data packets, so-called datagrams,
are sent as a Broadcast. The recipient alone is responsible for making sure the data is
received. The sender is not notified about whether or not it is received.
UPnP
Universal Plug & Play
UPnP technology is used to spontaneously link home or small office networks. Devices
that support UPnP carry out their network configuration automatically once they are
connected to a network. They also provide their own services or use services of other
devices on the network automatically.
URL
Universal Resource Locator
Globally unique address of a domain on the Internet.

Virtual server
A virtual Server provides a service on the Internet that runs on another network compo-
nent, not on the server itself. The Gigaset SE361 WLAN can be configured as a virtual
server. It will then direct incoming calls for a service via Port Forwarding directly to the
appropriate Port of the network component in the local network.
WAN
Wide Area Network
A WAN is a wide area network, which is not restricted to one particular area. The Internet
is the most frequently used WAN. A WAN is run by one or more public providers to ena-
ble private access. You access the Internet via an Internet Provider.
WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy
WEP is a security protocol defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. It is used to protect wire-
less transmissions in a WLAN against unauthorised access with Encryption of the data
transmitted.
WLAN
Wireless LAN
Wireless LANs enable network components to communicate with a network using radio
waves as the transport medium. A wireless LAN can be connected as an extension to an
existing wired LAN or it can form the basis for a new network. The basic element of a
wireless network is the radio cell. This is the area in which wireless communication takes
place. A WLAN can be operated in Ad-hoc mode or Infrastructure mode.
WLAN is currently specified in the IEEE 802.11 standard. The Gigaset SE361 WLAN com-
plies with standard 802.11g.
WPA
WPA was developed to improve the security provided by WEP. WPA uses more complex
procedures to generate keys, e.g. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol). In addition,
WPA can use an authentication server (e.g. a RADIUS server) to improve security.
WPA-PSK
WPA Pre-shared Key
Variant of WPA data encryption in which new keys are generated automatically at reg-
ular intervals by means of a keyword (Pre-shared Key). The key is updated at defined
intervals (Rekey interval).
