tion can lead to problems with your Internet connection. If you want to set up your Inter-
net connection manually or set up additional virtual connections you need your Internet
service provider's access data and technical information for the configuration. You will
find the access data you require in the documentation you received from Tiscali. The
configuration details are not described in this document.
ì
In the
Setup
menu, select
Basic Setup
.
At the top of this page you can choose which of the configured interfaces (data PPPoA
or data IPoEoA) should be used for Internet access. This should be set to PPPoA unless
advised otherwise by Tiscali.
PVC selection
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl allows you to configure different virtual connections
(called
PVC
) which can share the same physical connection (DSL) at the same time. For
each connection the access data of Tiscali is required.
The Tiscali standard connections (data PPPoA, IPTV or data IPoEoA) cannot be changed.
If required, you can change the
User Name
and the associated
Password
for the con-
nection.
Configuring further connections
In addition, you can configure a
PPPoA
or
PPPoE
connection or a Bridge connection
according to the RFC 2684.

Defining the private IP address for the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl
On this screen you can change the device's
Private IP address
. The preset IP address is
192.168.1.1. This is the address under which the device can be reached in the local net-
work. It can be freely assigned from the block of available addresses. The IP address
under which the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl can be reached from outside is assigned by
Tiscali. The default
Subnet mask
for the local network administered by the Gigaset
SE587 WLAN dsl
is 255.255.255.0.
ì
If you want to assign a different IP address to the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, enter
your chosen IP address in the fields next to
Local IP address
.
Make sure you note which subnet mask is set when assigning the IP address. If you
are retaining the default subnet mask, the first three parts of the IP address must be
identical for all network components (including routers).
We recommend using an address from a block that is reserved for private use. This
address block is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.255.254.
ì
Adjust the
Subnet Mask
if necessary.
The
Subnet mask
specifies how many address parts of the IP address must be iden-
tical for all network components (including routers).
Configuring the DHCP server
The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has a
DHCP server
for which the factory setting is active.
Consequently, the IP addresses of the PCs are automatically assigned by the Gigaset
SE587 WLAN dsl.
ì
To activate the DHCP server, select
ON
.
If the DHCP server is active, you can define the IP address range the DHCP server should
use for assigning IP addresses to the clients.
ì
Select
YES
for
Use Default Range
if you want the device to assign IP addresses in
the range 1-254 (if the router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1 the addresses from
192.198.1.2 - 192.198.1.254 are used).
Note:
u
You can only change the last part of the subnet mask at the moment (even if fur-
ther parts are displayed as editable).
u
New settings can only be made after the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has been
rebooted. If necessary reconfigure the IP address on your PC (including one that
is statically assigned) so that it matches the new configuration.
Note:
u
If the DHCP server for the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is activated, you can configure
the network setting on the PC so that the option
Obtain an IP address automat-
ically
is set up. For further information, refer to the section "Local network config-
uration" on page 36.
u
If you deactivate the DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the
PCs that use the network settings.
