u
Never open the router. For reasons of electrical safety, the router may only be
opened by authorised service staff.
u
The router may affect medical electronic equipment. If in doubt consult the supplier
of the medical equipment.
u
Make sure you pass on this information sheet if you pass on your router to someone

Features and applications
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number
of applications:
Internet access
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl allows several users access to the Internet simultaneously.
u
Since many ADSL providers permit communication with end users via the PPPoA pro-
tocol, the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has an integrated client for this protocol. It is
therefore no longer necessary to install this service on your PC.
u
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl supports shared Internet access for up to 253 users.
This means several users in your network can surf the Internet simultaneously, all
using the same Internet account.
u
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl allows the connection of a set-top box which enables
you to watch Internet television (IPTV).
Setting up a local area network
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl offers the following possibilities:
u
Up to four devices (PCs, a
Hub
or
Switch
) connected via
Ethernet
ports with a trans-
mission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps (with automatic recognition).
u
Up to 253 mobile terminals connected via a wireless interface with a transmission
speed of up to 54 Mbps. It complies with IEEE 802.11g standard and can work with
all products that satisfy
WLAN
Standard IEEE 802.11b or 802.11g.
u
Using the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl makes it easy to set up a network at home or in
small offices. For example, users can exchange data in the network.
u
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl supports
DHCP
for dynamic IP configuration of the
local area network and
DNS
for domain name mapping.

Security functions
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl offers comprehensive security measures:
u
Firewall
protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
With the firewall, the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl offers comprehensive protection
against hacker attacks.
u
Network Address Translation (
NAT
)
All PCs in the local area network use the
Public IP address
of the Gigaset SE587 WLAN
dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The
Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if this has been
requested from within the local area network.
u
DMZ (Exposed Host)
This allows you to release one PC in your local area network for unlimited access
from the Internet. Note that in this case your local area network will no longer be
adequately protected against Internet attacks.
u
Service filtering and domain blocking
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl can filter Internet access. Here you determine which
PCs may access which Internet services.
Additionally you can disable access to certain Internet domains (URL blocking).
u
Encryption for the wireless network
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is delivered with a preset individual encryption
(WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK with pre-shared key). You will find the corresponding informa-
tion on the label on the bottom of the device. Your wireless network is therefore pro-
tected against unauthorised access.
If there are wireless network adapters of your PCs that do not support this encryption
method, you can use another encryption method (WEP) to prevent unauthorised
access to your wireless LAN or to make data illegible to unauthorised parties (see
page 23).
Configuring the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl
Having performed the installation steps on the set-up CD, your Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl
is now ready for use. No further configuration is normally required.
Your device is also preconfigured with individual security settings (SSID and encryption)
for secure wireless operation.
However, if you want to change specific configuration settings or make advanced con-
figuration changes to your Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, a browser-based configuration
user interface is provided which can be operated via your Internet browser. This is
described from page 10 onwards.
In addition, the user interface provides detailed status information on operation and
configuration and offers helpful administration options. These are described in the
chapters "Status information" on page 12 and "Administration" on page 30.
