ì
Define the range of IP addresses the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl should use to auto-
matically assign IP addresses to the PCs. Define the
First issued IP address
and the
Last issued IP address
.
ì
If you want to define a different
Default gateway
in your local area network instead
of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl, enter the IP address of this default gateways in the
relevant boxes.
Entering the DNS server
DNS is a decentralised service that assigns PC names or Internet addresses (
Domain
names
) and IP addresses to one another. A DNS server must administer this information
for each server or for each LAN with an Internet connection.
Your Internet service provider will usually provide you with a
DNS server
that makes this
assignment when an Internet connection is set up. If necessary, you can manually
define the DNS server to be used for the Internet connections.
ì
Enter the IP addresses for your preferred DNS servers (
Preferred DNS server
and
Alternate DNS server
).
ì
You can define the name of a domain (Windows workgroup) in the
Domain name
field.
Assigning static IP addresses to individual PCs
Even if you have activated the DHCP server, you can still assign a static IP address to indi-
vidual PCs (e.g. when setting up these PCs for NAT functions).
ì
Enter the
MAC address
of the PC to which you want to assign a static IP address.
ì
Enter the
IP address
you wish to assign to the PC.
ì
Click the
Add
button to add the entry to the list.

Configuring wireless connections
If you have implemented wireless PC communication via the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl,
you should improve the security of your wireless network via the
Advanced Settings
Wireless Network
menu. You can carry out the following functions:
ì
In the
Advanced Settings
menu, select:
Wireless Network
ì
Select
On
for the
Wireless Network
(default setting).
Devices can only log in wirelessly if the WLAN module of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
is activated.
You can now make the settings for the wireless network.
Wireless Network
Activate the wireless module of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN
dsl and specify basic settings for your wireless network, for
example
SSID, Transmission mode
or
Sending power
.
WPS Registration
Start WPS registration and configure WPS (see page 90).
Encryption &
Authentication
Set up
Encryption
for wireless transmissions (page 90).
Allowed Clients
Restrict access to the LAN of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl
(page 98).
Repeater (WDS)
Activate the repeater function (Wireless Distribution
System,
WDS
) and define repeaters to increase the range of
your WLAN (see page 99).

Channel
This function is only shown in the window if the Super G transmission mode is deacti-
vated (page 89).
All clients in the network use the set radio channel for wireless data transfer. You can
choose between various channels, depending on your current location.
ì
Select
Automatic
so that the best channel for transmitting the data is used automat-
ically.
SSID
For the wireless network components to be able to communicate with one another, you
must use the same
SSID
(Service Set Identifier).
The default SSID for the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl is
ConnectionPoint
. For security rea-
sons you should change this SSID and deactivate SSID broadcast (for information see
below).
Enter a character string of your choice. The SSID is case-sensitive. It can contain up to
32 characters. Use a combination of letters, digits and special characters.
SSID broadcast
If this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will send the SSID
in all data transfers and the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will be displayed on PCs
that have a wireless network adapter. In this case, hackers could use the SSID to detect
your network.
If you deactivate
SSID broadcast
, the SSID of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl will not be
displayed. This increases protection against unauthorised access to your wireless net-
work. Make a note of the SSID. You will need it to log on to the PC.
To protect your wireless network, you should also enable encryption of data transmis-
sions (page 90).
ì
Select
Off
to deactivate
SSID broadcast
.
Note:
If a WPS registration (see page 50) was performed before manual configuration, the
generated SSID is displayed in this screen. You should not change this SSID here
manually. Otherwise, the registered clients will no longer have access to your wireless
network.
Note:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until you have
entered the new SSID in them as well.

Transmission mode
This function is only shown in the window if the Super G transmission mode is deacti-
vated (page 89).
The IEEE 802.11g standard permits data transfer up to 54 Mbit/s, and the IEEE 802.11b
standard up to 11 Mbit/s. Choose
IEEE 802.11g only
to ensure the best possible data
transfer rates in your network. To operate clients with older wireless network adapters
in your network, select
IEEE 802.11b/g (mixed)
.
ì
Select the required transmission mode for your wireless network.
Sending power
ì
Select the required sending power for your device.
It is recommended that you select a sending power with a range to suit the spatial
environment of your local network. A much greater range makes it easier to eaves-
drop on your wireless data transfer.
Super G (108 Mbit/s)
With the help of channel bundling, the
Super G
transmission mode enables wireless
data transfer up to 108 Mbps. The channel for wireless data transfer cannot be changed.
You can only use Super G if this function is supported by at least one client in your wire-
less network. For the best possible data transfer rates, all clients in your LAN should sup-
port Super G.
ì
Select
Dynamic
to use
Super G (108 Mbit/s)
for your wireless network to increase
the data transfer rate.
Dynamic
means that the router will accept participants which
communicate via different transmission rates, and will adapt to the slowest client in
the network.
In the default setting,
Super G (108 Mbit/s)
is activated.
ì
Click
OK
to apply the settings.
Please remember:
If you activate Super G as the transmission mode, but it is not supported by all
components in your wireless network, then for technical reasons the transfer rate in
the network may be significantly lower than the possible maximum of 108 Mbit/s.

Starting WPS registration and configuring WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) makes it easier to establish a wireless network. Devices
equipped with WPS can synchronise the SSID and the WPA key (pre-shared key).
The most simple method to establish a secure wireless connection is press the registra-
tion (Scan) button or click once in the user interface of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and
do the same with the client. For further information, see "WPS" on page 16.
The configuration program of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl provides beside the
Push
Button
method for WPS registration for more security the registrations mode via PIN.
