The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable

???Protection against unauthorised access from the Internet

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable offers comprehensive security measures such as:

???Firewall

All the PC's in the local network use the router's Public IP address for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The router only allows access from the Internet if it has been requested from the local network.

???With its firewall, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable also offers comprehensive protection from attack by hackers.

???Offering your own services on the Internet

???If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can configure the router as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local network.

???DMZ

This allows you to release a PC on your local network for unrestricted access from the Internet without compromising the security of the other PC's.

???Restricting Internet access

You can configure the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that Internet access is blocked or limited for various users. You can also use filters to control which PC's are able to use which Internet services, and you can disable access to certain Internet domains and sites.

???Operate the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable only indoors within a temperature range of +5 to +40 ??C. Do not position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable near a heat source. Do not cover the ventilation slots. High temperatures will reduce the transmitter range.

???A mains socket for 220/230V~ and a connection socket for the DSL modem, cable modem or LAN must be available where you set up the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable.

???Do not site the router in the immediate vicinity of stereo equipment, TV sets or microwave ovens as this may cause interference.

???Position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that it is as near to the centre of your wireless network as possible. The general rule is: The higher you place the antenna, the better the performance. Make sure that where you position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/ cable has optimum reception throughout the house or office.

???Position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable on a non-slip surface.

The router feet do not normally leave any traces on the surface they are on. However, some furniture surfaces may contain substances that attack and soften the router's plastic feet. Then the feet may well mark the furniture surface.

???Position the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that it cannot fall down and damage the antenna.

???Lay the cables so that nobody can trip over them. You should not cover the cables with anything.

???Protect the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable from moisture.

Installing the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable

???Only use the router with the mains adapter (12V 1A) that is supplied.

???Do not plug any phone jack connectors into the router WAN and LAN

!sockets.

???Use standard network cables for all connections (CAT-5) for the WAN and LAN connections.

???An Ethernet cable must not be longer than 100 metres.

Before you start connecting PC's to your Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable make sure that

???a wired or wireless Network adapter is connected to the PC. Please read the operating instructions that came with the adapter. The latest PC's and Notebooks have wired adapters built in at the factory.

???ConnectionPoint has been entered as SSID on the network adapter.

13

First Steps

Connecting a DSL or cable modem to the router

Connect the socket on the back of the router marked WAN and your DSL or cable modem with an Ethernet cable.

Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable

DSL or cable modem

Use a 100-Ohm shielded or unshielded 3, 4 or 5 category Ethernet cable with RJ-45 jacks on both ends for all connections.

i Please bear in mind that the cable you use must be the right one for the modem (either straight or crossed wiring). Please consult your modem operating instructions. The Ethernet cable supplied has straight wiring.

14

First Steps

Creating a LAN connection

You can connect PC's to your router in wireless or wired mode and so set up a local area network (LAN).

Wireless

A wireless connection is established by a wireless network adapter installed in your PC. This can be a Gigaset PCI Card 54, Gigaset PC Card 54 or other 802.11g or 802.11b compatible wireless network adapter.

You define a Wireless network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID. Assign the router's SSID to the network adapters. The factory setting for the router's 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 router to the mains power supply (see page 17).

First Steps

Activating

Connect the mains adapter cable to the 12V 1A socket on the router. Plug the mains adapter into a mains socket.

This activates the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. The power LED on the front lights up and the WAN LED flashes, indicating that a modem is connected.

Flashing LAN LED's indicate when a device is connected to the corresponding LAN connection.

The WLAN/ACT LED lights up, indicating that the wireless interface of the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable has been activated.

The wireless link to the PC's connected via a wireless network adapter will be established automatically if their network adapters have been configured with the same SSID as the router (see page 15). It can take a few seconds for the wireless connection to be established. The WLAN/LINK LED flashes to indicate when devices are connected with the wireless interface.

If this is not the case, please turn to "Fault tracing" on page 105.

17

Configuring the local network

Configuring the local network

Once you have set up the hardware and connected all the devices, you have to configure the network settings of all the PC's that will communicate with each other via the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable.

The LAN is set up as a TCP/IP network. You will have to make certain choices during the configuration procedure. The most important decision is whether you want to use the router's DHCP service or not. The router uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to assign Dynamic IP addresses for the network components, i.e. it automatically assigns a PC that logs in an IP address from a defined address block. The next time the PC logs on it may well be assigned a different IP address. How to configure the router's dynamic address assignment is described on page 76 of the section "LAN Configuration".

In this chapter we assume that you will use the router's DHCP service. This is also the router's default setting.

In many cases however it is advisable to assign Static (fixed) IP addresses, e.g. if you wish to run a wireless network in Ad-hoc mode. How to assign fixed IP addresses is described in "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.

If your network has already been set up you can read on from page 45 in the chapter "The user interface".

The network configuration varies depending on the Windows operating system you are using. You will find the procedure described below for Windows 98 from page 19, for Windows XP from page 28 and for Windows 2000 from page 36.

Have your Windows Installation CD to hand. You may be prompted to insert it.

The Windows user interfaces depicted in this guide may differ from those i on your screen because of the settings you have made. The illustrations

always reflect the state after immediate installation.

Checking the connection to the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable

Once the network has been set up on a PC, you can check whether the PC has been successfully connected to the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. This can be done as follows:

???Open Command prompt. This can be done by clicking on Start ??? Programs ??? Command prompt.

???Enter the command ping 192.168.2.1.

iIf the router's IP address was changed, enter the new IP address.

The ping command sends data packets to the router 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 properly.

If the command does not return any statistics, but ends with a time-out, then this means that the components cannot communicate with each other. Check the following points:

1.Is the Ethernet cable between the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable and the PC properly connected, or is there a wireless connection via a wireless network adapter?

The LED display for the LAN connections on the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable and 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.Has TCP/IP been properly configured on your computer?

If the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable has IP address 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address must be between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, the default gateway must have the address 192.168.2.1.

If you can successfully address the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable with the ping command, then the PC has been configured properly.

???Service Set ID (SSID)

Enter a character string of your choice. It is not case sensitive. It can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long.

64

Configuring security measures

???SSID visible

If you have selected this option the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable will send the SSID in all data transmissions. In this case eavesdroppers could use the SSID to gain access to your network. Your router's SSID will also be displayed on PC's with a wireless network adapter.

If you have deselected this option, wireless network components that want to connect to the LAN must know the SSID. This offers a certain degree of protection against unauthorised access.

???To go to the next step in the Security Setup, click on NEXT.

Setting the Encryption

If you are sending sensitive data over wireless channels, we recommend that you activate WEP-Encryption on your wireless network components.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between i wireless nodes. However WEP does not protect transmission on your

wired network or over the Internet.

To activate WEP encryption on your wireless network components:

1.Activate Web encryption on your Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable and generate a 64 or 128 bit key. Make a note of the generated key.

2.Activate WEP encryption on the wireless network adapters and enter the generated 64 or 128 bit key.

You can choose either the standard 64 bit key or the more robust 128 bit key for encryption. The keys are generated in hexadecimal format or in the ASCII format. You must use the same keys for encryption and decryption for the Gigaset Router and all your wireless network adapters.

??? To go to the next step in the Security Setup, click on NEXT.

65

Configuring security measures

Allowing selected PC's access your local network

In this next step you can specify up to 32 PC's that are allowed to access your LAN. All other computers will be denied access. Access control is based on the MAC address of the specified PC's.

The access control is disabled by default. This means that all PC's that use the correct SSID can log in. If you wish to keep this setting, click on NEXT.

If you wish to use the access control, select MAC access control list. The access control list that was last defined is displayed and enabled. Now only these PC's can log in to your router.

When you activate the MAC access control you should at least enter the PC from which you configure the router, otherwise you will no longer be able to access the router's user interface and will see an error message to this effect.

If you have denied all your PC's access to the router by mistake, you have

!two options:

???You can completely reset the router (see page 108).

???You can connect one PC to the router by one of the LAN connections. Because the MAC access control only applies to PC's that are connec- ted 'wirelessly', you can use this PC to change the router's configura- tion.

??? To go to the next step in the Security Setup, click on NEXT.

66

Configuring security measures

Saving the router configuration and completing the setup

In the last step of the Security Setup you can backup the current settings of your router in a file and save them on your PC or other data medium. You can then use that file to restore the current configuration of your router if necessary. The backed up data are restored in the Advanced Setup with Administration ??? Backup and Restore.

???To backup the current settings, select Save configuration to PC.

???If you do not want to backup the current configuration, deselect Save configuration to PC.

???Click on FINISH to finish the Security Setup.

If you have selected Save configuration to PC, you must now specify where you wish to save the file and give it a name.

The settings will now be active on your router.

Next, you must configure the same SSID and the WEP key for your PC's i wireless network adapter, if this has been configured with other values.

Once you have done this you can log on to your router once more.

???SSID

Before the wireless network components can communicate with each other, you must use the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable comes supplied with the SSID configured as ConnectionPoint. You should change this SSID for security reasons.

Enter a character string of your choice. The SSID is case sensitive. It can be up to 32 alphanumerical characters long.

???Remember that the connection to the wireless network adapters

iwill be interrupted until you enter the new SSID on them as well.

???You will find a detailed example of how to change the SSID in "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples"on the CD supplied.

???SSID visible

If this option is enabled, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable will send the SSID in all data transmissions, and your router's SSID will be displayed on PC's that have a wireless network adapter. In this case eavesdroppers could use the SSID to gain access to your network.

Your router's SSID will not be displayed if you disable the SSID option. This will increase protection against unauthorised access to your wireless network. Make a note of the SSID however - you will need it to log your PC onto your router.

???Wireless Channel

Channel used by the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable to communicate with other wireless network components. You must use a common channel so that the wireless network components can communicate with one another.

The available channel settings are governed by your country's regulations. They define the number of available channels. The

i default setting is determined by the country setting (see page 52). You should not change this setting unless you have a good reason to do so.

???Access point name

You can enter a name for your router here. This name will be used if you want to do Roaming with your router. If you do not need Roaming, you leave the default name as it is.

???BSSID

The router's BSSID is displayed here. This is for information only ??? it cannot be changed.

70

Configuration with Advanced Setup

???Transmission mode

The transmission mode indicates whether the wireless transmission complies with IEEE Standard 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g, or whether both transmission modes are possible (Mixed mode). The main difference between the two standards is the Transmission rate: IEEE 802.11b ??? maximum 11 Mbps, IEEE 802.11g ??? maximum 54 Mbps. If the units use different standards in the wireless network, then you should leave the default Mixed mode.

Access control to local network

In this screen you can specify which PC's will have access to your router and hence to your LAN.

??? In the Wireless Settings menu, select Access control.

The default setting for access control is disabled. This means that all PC's that use the correct SSID can log in.

Access control is based on the MAC addresses of the network adapters of the PC's. If you wish to use access control, you must put the PC's that will be allowed access on the access control list.

When you activate the MAC access control you should at least enter the PC from which you configure the router, otherwise you will no longer be able to access the router's user interface and will see an error message to this effect.

If you have denied all your PC's access to the router by mistake, you have

!two options:

???You can completely reset the router (see page 108).

???You can connect one PC to the router by one of the LAN connections. Because the MAC access control only applies to PC's that are connec- ted 'wirelessly', you can use this PC to change the router's configura- tion.

72

LAN Configuration

You can use LAN configuration to

???define an IP address for the router (see below),

???enable or disable the router's UPnP functionality (see page 77) and

???configure the router's DHCP server (see page 78).

Defining the router's private IP address

You can change the router's IP address in this screen. The default IP address for the router is 192.186.1.1. This is the router's Private IP address. This is the address under which the router can be reached on the local network. It can be freely assigned from the block of available addresses. The IP address under which the router can be reached from outside is assigned by the Internet Service Provider.

??? In the LAN menu, select Private IP address.

???If you want to assign the router a different IP address, enter it in IP Address.

iWe recommend using an address from a block that is reserved for private use. This address block is 192.168.2.1 - 192.168.255.254.

???The Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 by default. We advise that you do not change this setting.

???Click on APPLY to apply the settings.

73

Configuration with Advanced Setup

Using the universal plug and play function

PCs with UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) can offer their own network services and automatically use services offered on the network.

The PC must have Windows ME or Windows XP as its operating system. Check whether the UPnP function has been installed in your PC's

i operating system. It may be necessary to retrospectively install the UPnP components even on Windows XP or Windows ME systems. Please consult your PC's operating instructions.

Once you have installed UPnP in a PC's operating system and activated it on the router, applications on that PC (e.g. Microsoft Messenger) can communicate over the Internet without you having to specifically permit this. In this case the router performs automatic Port Forwarding (see page 88), thereby facilitating communication over the Internet.

Once you have activated UPnP on the router you will see an icon for your Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable on the task bar of the PC's on which UPnP is installed. Windows XP systems will also include the icon under network connections. Clicking on this icon opens the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable's configuration screens.

To activate the router's UPnP function: ??? In the LAN menu, select UPnP.

???Activate UPnP.

???Click on APPLY.

???Aktivieren Sie UPnP.

When the UPnP function is active, external system applications can assign i and use Ports on a PC. This may pose a security threat so you should

disable the UPnP function if you do not wish to use it.

PC's on which a UPnP application is currently running and the ports that are opened by the application are entered in the UPnP Port Forwarding list.

??? To view this list, select the Port Forwarding option on the Virtual server menu. The list is displayed in then bottom half of the screen.

74

Configuration with Advanced Setup

Configuring the DHCP server

The router has a DHCP Server, whose factory setting is active. As a result, the IP addresses of the PC's are automatically assigned by the router. If you want to assign static IP addresses for the PCs, you will have to deactivate the DHCP server.

???If the router's DHCP server is active, configure the network settings of your PC's so that the Obtain an IP address automatically option is checked. To find out how to do this, please turn to the chapter entitled

i"Configuring the local network" which starts on page 18.

???If you deactivate the router's DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the PC's using the network settings. This is described in "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.

???In the LAN menu, select DHCP Server.

??? Select DHCP Server.

75

Configuration with Advanced Setup

???IP Pool Range

In IP Pool Range enter the range of IP addresses which the router should use for automatically assigning IP addresses to the PC's.

Enter the first and last addresses.

The first three fields of the first and last IP address always have the first three fields of the router's IP address as their default setting

i because the subnet mask is always 255.255.255.x. This means that the first three address segments for all network components must be identical.

In the bottom half of the screen you can create a list of PC's to which the DHCP server will always assign the same IP address. This function is useful when you wish to define filter rules for certain PC's or forward ports to certain PC's (refer to "Filtering Internet access" on page 84 or "Port Forwarding" on page 88). The relevant PC must always have the same IP address.

You can create the list of PC's in two ways:

???From the list of logged-in PC's.

You should use this option when the appropriate PC's are logged on.

???To do this, select the List of logged on PC's option in the Define New Entry window.

???From the list, select the PC's you wish to add to the list, then click on Add to list.

???By entering their MAC address

You should use this option when the PC's you wish to add to the list are not currently logged onto the router.

Note: You can find out the MAC addresses of the wireless network adapters of the PC's with the command ipconfig /all on the relevant PC's.

???In the Define New Entry window, select MAC Address.

???Now enter the MAC addresses of the PC's you wish to add to the list. To improve clarity, type in a name for the PC, then click on Add to list.

???To remove an entry from the list, click on Delete in the right hand column of the list entry.

???Click on APPLY to apply the settings.

78

Configuration with Advanced Setup

The following connection types are available:

???Select PPPoE, if you use PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) for your WAN connection (e. g. for T-DSL (T-Online)). Configuration is similar to Basic Setup, as described on page 57.

You can now make the following settings in addition to the parameters available in the Basic Setup:

???Maximum idle time

This is the period of time after which the Internet connection is closed down automatically if no data is transmitted.

???If you select Keep Alive the Internet connection will be on continuously. This can lead to high charges if you are using a time-based pricing system!

???You should not normally have to change the settings for MRU and MTU.

???Select PPTP, if you use the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) for your WAN connection. Configuration is similar to Basic Setup, as described on page 60.

You can now make the following settings in addition to the parameters available in the Basic Setup:

???Maximum idle time

This is the period of time after which the Internet connection is closed down automatically if no data is transmitted.

???If you select Keep Alive the Internet connection will be on continuously. This can lead to high charges if you are using a time-based pricing system!

???Select Static, if the router's WAN connection is assigned a Static (fixed) IP address by your Internet Service Provider. Configuration is similar to Basic Setup, as described on page 59.

You can now make the following settings in addition to the parameters available in the Basic Setup:

???DNS Server

Enter the IP addressed of your preferred DNS servers. If you do not specify a DNS server, your Internet Service Provider will use his default DNS server.

???Domain name

Enter your router's domain name if your ISP has given you one.

???Select Dynamic, if the router's WAN connection is assigned a Dynamic IP address by your Internet Service Provider. Configuration is similar to Basic Setup, as described on page 58.

i

If your Internet Service Provider used the MAC address of one of your PC's for registration when setting up your Internet access, only connect the PC with the registered MAC address to the router and click on Clone MAC Address. This will replace the router's current MAC address by the already registered MAC address of the PC. If you are not sure which PC was used as the identifier, have your Internet Service Provider register a new MAC address for your account. Then use this MAC address for the router.

???Once you have entered the access data and parameters, launch the connection test by clicking on Test.

79

Configuration with Advanced Setup

This opens a window in which you will see the test steps and the test result (see page 61).

If the test fails, check that

???all the necessary cables are connected

???the various devices are connected to the power supply

???the necessary LED's light up

If you cannot find any hardware problems, check your settings again.

???Close the test window.

???Click on APPLY to apply the setting.

Remember that configuration saves the access data for your WAN connection in the router. Before passing your router on to somebody else

i or having your dealer replace it, you should first restore the factory settings. Otherwise unauthorised persons may use your Internet access data at your expense. Turn to page 108 to find out how to reset your router.

80

Configuration with Advanced Setup

Filtering Internet access

You can use the Filter menu to make settings that will enhance the security of your network. You can

???protect your LAN against ping attacks from the Internet (see below),

???restrict Internet access to selected PC's and for selected services (see below), and

???restrict access by members of your LAN to selected websites (see page 85).

Preventing ping attacks from the Internet

Ping is a command which can be used on the Internet to find out the existence of network members. If your router is 'visible' on the Internet, it may be an easy target for attack by hackers. You should therefore deselect this option.

For test purposes, trouble-shooting etc. it may be useful to reply to a ping, and you can enable the option temporarily in this case.

??? In the Filter menu, select Internet Services.

???Select or deselect WAN Port Ping Reply.

???Click on APPLY to apply the setting.

Restricting access of local PC's to the Internet

By default, your router is set up to allow all PC's that are logged on to it to use all Internet services.

You can use the filter function to specify which PC's are allowed to use which service, and so enhance the security of your LAN. To do this, use the Filter screen shown above.

81

Configuration with Advanced Setup

Restricting access to certain Internet domains and sites

You can prevent members of your LAN accessing certain Internet domains and sites by defining a filter for URL's. Filtering a URL means that the specified URL and all of the URL's downstream of it are blocked for access. Specifying a domain name blocks the complete domain with all of its dependent URL's.

??? In the Filter menu, select URL Filter.

Setting up the router as a virtual server

If you want to offer files or Web services that are on a PC in your local network to other Internet users, set the PC up as a server (e. g. as FTP or HTTP server). However the router's Firewall function does not normally allow PC's in the LAN to be accessed from "outside". To make services that are provided by local PC's available on the Internet therefore, you should

???either put the PC on which the server application is running in a so-called demilitarised zone (DMZ) (see page 87) or

???set up the router as a virtual server. In this case, Port Forwarding will forward requests for the service which the router receives from the Internet to the PC that provides the service (see page 88).

If your router gets a Dynamic IP address from your ISP, you must make sure that the service is always available despite the router's changing IP address. You can use the router's DynDNS function for this (see page 89).

iYou will find a detailed example of how to set up URL blocks in "Practical Tips and Configuration Examples" on the CD supplied.

82

Configuration with Advanced Setup

Opening the firewall for selected PC's (DMZ)

PC's inside the LAN cannot be accessed from the Internet by default. The router protects the LAN by its Firewall. Some applications do not work properly behind a firewall because they require unrestricted data flow in both directions. In this case you can define a so-called demilitarised zone (DMZ) for a PC running such applications. When you create a DMZ, all requests for a service that come from the Internet will be forwarded to that PC unless the service has already been forwarded to another PC by Port Forwarding (see page 88).

Please bear in mind that the demilitarised PC is no longer protected

!against unauthorised access from the Internet and as such could be a security risk for your network. You should use this option only in emergency situations.

???To create a DMZ for a PC, select DMZ in the Virtual server menu.

83

Configuration with Advanced Setup

Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding (the forwarding of requests to particular ports) is needed when you wish to operate Server services for the Internet on a PC in your LAN. For example, on one of your PC's you could run a Web server which provides HTML pages. In this case the router acts as the Virtual server, forwarding requests for an HTML page from the Internet to the designated PC on which the Web server is running. Externally the router takes on the role of the server. It receives requests from remote users under its public IP address and automatically redirects them to local PC's. The private IP addresses of the servers on the local network remain protected.

Internet services are addressed by defined Ports. The router needs a mapping table of the port numbers to redirect the service requests to the server that actually provides the service. You must create this mapping table.

???To set up Port Forwarding for a service, select Port Forwarding in the Virtual server menu.

84

Configuration with Advanced Setup

Activating dynamic DNS

A service which you wish to provide on the Internet can be accessed by a Domain name. Your router's Public IP address is assigned to this Domain name. If your Internet Service Provider assigns the IP address for your local network's WAN connection dynamically, then 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 regularly updated. This is handled by the dynamic DNS Service (DynDNS). You can use the DynDNS service to assign your Gigaset Router 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 offering free DynDNS Service. The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable uses the DynDNS Service from DynDNS.org (http://www.DynDNS.org). If you use the service of this DynDNS provider, then your service can be reached on the Internet as a subdomain of one of the DynDNS.org domains.

If you have activated the router's DynDNS function, it will monitor its public IP address. When this changes, it will open a connection to DynDNS.org and update its IP address there.

You have to open an account with DynDNS.org before you can use the i router's DynDNS function. Follow the instructions on the DynDNS.org

website. Then enter the account user data when configuring the router.

???To use the router's DynDNS function, select Dynamic DNS in the Virtual server menu.

???Enter the User name, Password and Domain name. You will have received these from DynDNS.org when you registered. A typical domain name might be: my_domain.dyndns.org

???Click on APPLY to apply the settings.

Restoring the Router's factory settings

If you have made configuration settings on the router in error, with the result that you can no longer access the router's configuration interface, you can reset the router to its factory settings.

You may need to do this, for example, if you have forgotten your password, if you have activated WEP encryption but have forgotten the key for configuring the network adapters, or if you activate the access control for wireless access to the local network but the access list is empty (see page 68).

Remember that a complete router reset will reset all your configuration

!settings to the factory settings. This means that you will have to reconfigure your router from scratch.

To reset your router to its factory settings, proceed as follows:

???Switch off the router by unplugging the power cord from it.

???Press the reset button on the back of the router and hold it down.

???While holding down the reset button, switch the router on again (re-connect the power cord).

Glossary

Glossary

Access point

An Access Point, such as the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable, is the centre of a wireless local network (WLAN). It handles the connection of the wireless linked network components and regulates the 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 operating mode of wireless networks with an Access Point is called Infrastructure mode.

Ad-hoc mode

Ad-hoc mode describes wireless local networks (WLAN) in which the network components set up a spontaneous network without an Access point, e. g. several Notebooks in a conference. All the network components are peers. They must have a wireless Network adapter.

Auto Connect

Auto Connect means that applications such as Web browser, Messenger and Email automatically open an Internet connection when they are launched. This can lead to high charges if you are not using Flat rate. This function can be deactivated at the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable to save call charges.

Bridge

A Bridge connects several network segments to form a joint network, e. g. to make a TCP/IP network. The segments can have different physical characteristics, e. g. different connections such as Ethernet and wireless LANs. Linking individual segments via Bridges allows local networks of practically unlimited size.

See also: Switch, Hub, Router, Gateway

Broadcast

A Broadcast is a data packet not directed to a particular recipient but to all the network components on the network. The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable does not pass broadcast packets on; they always remain within the local network (LAN) it administers.

BSSID

Basic Service Set ID

BSSID permits unique differentiation of one wireless network (WLAN) from 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 participants.

Client

A Client is an application that requests a service from a Server. For example, an http Client 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 application is running is also called a Client.

124

Glossary

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

DHCP handles the automatic assignment of IP addresses to network components. It was developed because in large networks ??? especially the Internet ??? the defining of 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 Clients) Dynamic IP addresses from a defined IP Pool Range thus saving a great deal of configuration work. It also allows address pools 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 SE505 dsl/cable includes a DHCP Server and so it can automatically assign IP addresses for the PC's on its local network. For specific PC's you can specify that their IP addresses are never changed.

DHCP Server

See DHCP

DMZ

Demilitarised Zone

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 Server services on the Internet which for security reasons are not to be run from behind the firewall or if Internet applications do not work properly behind a firewall. A DMZ permits unrestricted access from the Internet to only one or a few network components, while the other network components remain secure behind the firewall.

DNS

Domain Name System

DNS permits the assignment of IP addresses to computer or Domain names that are easier to remember. A DNS Server has to 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 follows a hierarchical system. A local PC only knows the address of the local Name Server. This in turn knows all the addresses of the computers in the local network and the next higher Name Server, which again knows addresses in its network and that of the next Name Server.

DNS Server

See DNS

Domain name

The Domain name is the reference to one or more Web Servers on the Internet. The Domain name is mapped via the DNS service to the corresponding IP address.

DSL

Digital Subscriber Line

DSL is a data transmission technique in which a connection to the Internet can be run at 1.5 Mbps over normal telephone lines. A DSL connection is provided by an Internet Service Provider. It requires a DSL modem.

125

Glossary

Dynamic IP address

A dynamic IP address is assigned to a network component automatically by the DHCP. This means that the IP address of a network component can change with every login or at certain intervals.

See also: Static (fixed) IP address

DynDNS

Dynamic DNS

Domain Name Service (DNS) is used to assign Domain names and IP addresses. For Dynamic IP addresses this service is now enhanced with so-called Dynamic DNS (DynDNS). This permits the use of a PC with a changing 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 SE505 dsl/cable uses WEP encryption for secure data transmission over wireless networks.

Ethernet

Ethernet is a network technology for local networks (LAN) and has been defined by the IEEE as Standard IEEE 802.3. Ethernet uses a base band cable with a transmission rate of 10 or 100 Mbps.

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.

See also: NAT

Flat rate

Flat rate is a particular billing system for Internet connections The Internet Service Provider charges a monthly fee regardless of the duration and number of logins.

Full duplex

Data transmission mode in which data can be sent and received at the same time. See also: Half duplex

Gateway

IEEE

Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers

The IEEE is an international body for defining network standards, especially for standardising LAN technologies, transmission protocols and speeds, and wiring.

IEEE 802.11

IEEE 802.11 is a standard for wireless LAN's in the 2.4 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).

Infrastructure mode

Infrastructure mode is a way of operating wireless local networks (WLAN), 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. All parties on the Internet can be identified by an IP address. Servers are addressed by a Domain name (e.g. siemens.com). Domain names are assigned to IP addresses by the Domain Name Service (DNS).

Among the most important Internet services are:

???electronic mail (email)

???the World Wide Web (WWW)

???file transfer (FTP)

???discussion forums (Usenet / Newsgroups)

Internet Service Provider

An 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 complex network (routing).

127

Glossary

IP address

An IP address is the unique network-wide address of a network component in a network based on the TCP/IP protocol (e.g. in a local network (LAN) or on the Internet). The IP address has four parts (decimal numbers) separated by periods (e.g. 192.168.2.1). The IP address comprises the network number and the computer number. Depending on the Subnet mask one, two or three parts form the network number, the remainder the computer number. You can find out the IP address of your PC using the ipconfig command.

IP addresses can be assigned manually (see Static (fixed) IP address) or automatically (see Dynamic IP address).

On the Internet Domain names are normally used instead of the IP addresses. DNS is used to assign Domain names to IP addresses.

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable has a Private IP address and a Public IP address.

IP Pool Range

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable's IP address pool defines a range of IP addresses that the router's DHCP Server can use to assign Dynamic IP addresses.

IPSec

Internet Protocol Security

The term IPSec covers a number of Protocols used for the encrypted transmission of data packets over the Internet. IPSec uses digital certificates for device authentication. IPSec is offered by Internet Service Providers for implementing Virtual Private Networks (VPN).

Internet Service Provider

L2TP

Layer Two Tunneling Protocol

L2TP is an extension of PPTP and is offered by Internet Service Providers for implementing Virtual Private Networks (VPN). It covers most of the features of PPTP but with less overhead and is better for managed networks.

LAN

Local Area Network

A Local Area 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 LAN can be connected to other LAN's or to a wide- area network (WAN) such as the Internet.

With the Gigaset SE105 dsl/cable you can set up both a wired local Ethernet network and a wireless IEEE 802.11g-standard network.

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 manufacturer and cannot be changed.

128

Glossary

Mbps

Million bits per second

The transmission speed in a network.

MRU

Maximum Receive Unit

The MRU defines the maximum user data volume within a data packet.

MTU

Maximum Transmission Unit

The MTU defines the maximum length of a data packet that can carried over the network at a time.

NAT

Network Address Translation

NAT is a method for implementing IP addresses (mostly Private IP addresses) in a network on 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 of the local network are hidden behind the router's IP address registered on the Internet. Because of this security function NAT is frequently used as part of the 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 SE505 dsl/cable 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 files and peripherals. A general distinction is made between local area networks (LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN).

Network adapter

The network adapter is the hardware device that connects a network component to a local area network. The connection can be wired or wireless. An Ethernet network card is an example of a wired network adapter. The Gigaset PC Card 54 and the Gigaset PCI Card 54 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 SE505 dsl/cable 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.

Glossary

PPPoE

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet

PPPoE is a Protocol for connecting network components in a local Ethernet network to the Internet via a modem.

PPTP

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol

An Internet connection using PPTP Protocol that creates a "tunnel" within an Internet connection for a secure private connection in which the data are sent in encrypted form. The PPTP protocol is used in a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

Private IP address

The private IP address is a network component's address within the local area 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 SE505 dsl/cable have a private and a Public IP address.

Protocol

A protocol describes the agreements for communication on a network. It contains rules for opening, administering and closing a connection, about data formats, time frames and error handling. Communications between two applications require different protocols at various levels, e.g. the TCP/IP protocols for the Internet.

Public IP address

The public IP address is a network component's address on the Internet. It is assigned by the Internet Service Provider. Devices that create a link from a LAN to the Internet, such as the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable, have a public and a Private IP address.

Remote Management

Remote Management refers to the ability to manage a network from a network component that is actually outside the local area network (LAN).

Roaming

With Roaming, the range of a wireless LAN is increased by using several Access points that use the same SSID and radio channel and which are interconnected by an Ethernet. The PC's within the network can switch dynamically between several Access Points without losing an existing network connection.

Router

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

See also: Bridge, Switch, Hub, Gateway

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 application that provides a particular service such as DNS or a Web service.

Glossary

SMTP

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

The SMTP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It regulates the exchange of electronic mail on the Internet. Your Internet Service Provider provides you with access to an SMTP server.

SSID

Service Set Identifier

The SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (WLAN). All wireless network components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be assigned by the network operator.

Static (fixed) IP address

A static (or fixed) IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network configuration. Unlike a Dynamic IP address, a static (fixed) IP address never changes.

Subnet

A subnet divides a network into smaller units.

Subnet mask

The subnet mask determines how parts of the IP addresses of a network represent the network number and how many the computer number.

The subnet mask administered by the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable is always 255.255.255.0. That means the first three parts of the IP address form the network number and the final part is used for assigning computer numbers. The first three parts of the IP address of all network components are in this case always the same.

Switch

A switch, like a Hub, is an element used to link different network segments or components. Unlike a hub however, the switch has its own intelligence that enables it to forward packets to only that subnet or network component they are meant for.

TCP

Transmission Control Protocol

The TCP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. TCP handles data transport between communication partners (applications). TCP is a session-based transmission protocol, i.e. it sets up, monitors and terminates a connection for transporting data.

See also: UDP

TCP/IP

Protocol family on which the Internet is based. IP forms the foundation for each 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.

131

Glossary

Tunneling

Tunneling is a procedure in which the data traffic of one Protocol is transmitted with the help of a different protocol. For example, data packets of a private network can be packed into IP packets and sent over the Internet as if through a tunnel. Tunneling procedures are used nowadays for the secure transmission of data in a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The IP packets from the local network are encrypted using a tunneling protocol (e. g. PPTP) before being sent over the Internet.

UDP

User Datagram Protocol

UDP is a Protocol of the TCP/IP protocol family that handles data transport between communication partners (applications). Unlike TCP, UDP is a non-session based protocol. It does not establish a fixed connection. The data packets, so-called datagrams, are sent as a Broadcast. The recipient is responsible for making sure the data is received. The sender is not notified about whether it is received or not.

UPnP

Universal Plug and Play

UPnP technology is used for the spontaneous linking of 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 not on itself but on another network component. The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable 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 question.

VPN

Virtual Private Network

A VPN is a network connection in which the data are transmitted over the Internet using special Tunneling protocols (e.g. PPTP, L2TP, IPSec) securely, i.e. encrypted. VPNs are used to connect private networks at different locations with each other without having to lease a transmission line. The Internet is used instead.

WAN

Wide Area Network

A WAN is a network that is not restricted to one particular area, such as the Internet. A WAN is run by one or more public providers to enable private access. You access the Internet via an Internet Service Provider.

WEP

Wired Equivalent Privacy

WEP is a security protocol defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. It is used to protect wireless transmissions in a WLAN against unauthorised access through 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 a wired LAN or it can form the basis for a new network. The basic element of a wireless network is the so-called cell. This is the area where the wireless communication takes place. A WLAN can be operated in Ad-hoc mode or Infrastructure mode.

WLAN is currently specified in Standard IEEE 802.11. The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable complies with Standard 802.11g.
