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 assigns the IP address for your local network's WAN connection dynamically, the IP

address of the router can 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 updated regularly. This task is performed by the dynamic DNS service (

DynDNS

). You

can use the DynDNS service to assign the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl an individual fixed

domain name on the Internet even if it does not have a static IP address.

Various Internet service providers offer a free DynDNS service.

If you use the service of a DynDNS provider, your service can be reached on the Internet

as a subdomain of one of the DynDNS service domains.

Configuring Advanced Settings

One possible service is

DynDNS.org

(http://www.DynDNS.org). If you have activated

the device's DynDNS function, it will monitor its public IP address. When this changes,

the device will open a connection to DynDNS.org and update its IP address there.

ì

In the

Advanced Settings

menu, select:

Internet

–

Dynamic DNS

ì

Activate the

Dynamic DNS

function.

ì

Select a service from the

Service provider

list.

ì

Enter

Domain name

,

User name

and

Password

. You will have received all the nec-

essary information when you registered with your

Service provider

.

ì

Click

OK

to apply the settings.

Note:

You must have an account with the service you have chosen (e.g. DynDNS.org) before

you can use the DynDNS function. Follow the instructions on the provider's web site.

Then enter the user data when configuring the router.

Routing

Your Internet service provider can permit you to set up a number of connection services.

The entire data traffic between your local network and the Internet uses the first con-

nection service (route) by default. After setting up various connection services

(page 64), you can change this default route and set up additional routes by assigning

data traffic to other connection services. Rules are provided to assist you, these define

criteria for determining which data traffic is assigned to which connection service.

ì

In the

Advanced Settings

menu, select:

Internet

–

Routing

ì

Activate or deactivate

Policy-based routing

for your Internet connection.

ì

Choose the

Policy type

, i.e. how you would like to define the various routes for data

traffic between your local network and the Internet:

–

Choose

Specify interface

to specify routes for clients in your local network

depending on the port used for connecting to your device (e.g. LAN port or wire-

less network connection).

–

Choose

Specify IP address

,

Specify IP address range

or

Specify MAC address

to specify routes for clients depending on your IP address or MAC address.

If you choose

Specify MAC address

, you can select PCs from the list of known

clients.

ì

Click

Delete

to delete an entry.

ì

Click

Add

to create a new entry with the entered data or for the selected client.

ì

Click

OK

to save and apply the changes.

Defining the private IP address for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl

On this screen you can change the device's

IP address

. The preset IP address is

192.168.2.1. This is the

Private IP address

of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. This is the

address under which the device can be reached in the local network. It can be freely

assigned from the block of available addresses. The IP address under which the Gigaset

SX763 WLAN dsl can be reached from outside is assigned by the Internet service pro-

vider. The default

Subnet mask

for the local network administered by the Gigaset SX763

WLAN dsl

is 255.255.255.0.

ì

If you want to assign a different IP address to the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, enter

your chosen IP address in the boxes next to

IP address

.

Please make sure to note which subnet mask is set when assigning the IP address.

The preset subnet mask defines that the first three parts of the IP address must be

identical for all network components (including routers).

We recommend that you use 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 SX763 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

SX763 WLAN dsl.

ì

To activate the DHCP server, select

On

.

ì

If the DHCP server is active, you can define a

Lease time

. The least time indicates

how long the client may use the allocated IP configuration.

Notes:

New settings can only be made after the Gigaset SX763 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 SX763 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 entitled "Configuring

the local area network" on the CD-ROM.

u

If you deactivate the DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the

PCs that use the network settings.

Note:

If you select

Never expires

, the IP addresses are never changed. Activate this

option if you want to make NAT or firewall settings using the IP addresses of the

PCs; otherwise you have to assign static IP addresses to these PCs.
