To go to the next step, click on

Next >

.

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.

ì

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.

functions, e.g. access control for local PCs to the Internet or

blocking certain Internet sites (see page 45),

u

make the NAT settings needed to provide your own services

on the Internet (see page 47),

u

set up dynamic DNS for a static Internet address on your

device (see page 52),

u

Configuring the Advanced Settings

Configuring the Internet connection

If you have configured your Gigaset SE361 WLAN using the two wizards, you will

already have configured the

WAN

connection (Internet access). You can check or

change these settings in the

Internet

menu.

This menu also offers you a wide range of options for security settings and limiting

access to the Internet as well as for providing your own services on the Internet.

Internet

On the

Internet

screen you can grant or block access to the Internet over your Gigaset

SE361 WLAN.

Internet Connection

On this screen you can set up or change the configuration of your Internet connection.

Any settings you make here must coincide with the features your Internet provider

makes available to you. Incorrect data can lead to problems with your Internet connec-

tion.

ì

If you wish to set up or change the settings for the Internet connection, select

Inter-

net Connection

in the

Advanced Settings

–

Internet

menu.

Configuring the Advanced Settings

ì

Select your Internet provider from the

Service provider

list.

ì

Enter the data you have been given by your

Service provider

in the relevant fields.

When you choose your Internet provider from the list, most of the data you need is

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.

ì

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.

ì

Click on

Test Settings

to check the Internet connection. The device will attempt to

connect to the Internet. Any Internet connection already in existence will be closed

first.

This displays information on the tests that have been carried out and their results.

You will then be returned to the

Internet Connection

screen. If necessary, you can

now correct your entries.

ì

If the test was successful, click on

OK

to apply the settings.

PPPoE pass-through

If you activate the

PPPoE pass-through

function, a PC in the network can connect to

the Internet via its own connection ID. The router puts these connections through.

ì

In the

Advanced Settings

–

Internet

menu, select the entry

Internet Connection

.

ì

Select the

On

option to activate

PPPoE pass-through

.

Note:

To configure the Internet connection successfully all fields must be filled in with

the precise details given by your provider.

Note:

If you subscribe to a time-based service, this option can result in high connec-

tion charges.

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.

ì

In the

Advanced Settings

–

Internet

menu, select the entry

Internet Connection

.

ì

Select

UPnP

.

ì

Click on

OK

to apply the settings.

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.

ì

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.
