Features and applications
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable's wide range of features make it ideal for a large number of
applications, such as:
uSetting up a local network
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable provides connections
– for four devices via Ethernet ports with a transmission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps.
– for up to 253 mobile terminals via a wireless interface with a transmission speed
of 54 Mbps. Here it complies with Standard IEEE 802.11g – i.e. the router can be
used together with products of several other manufacturers.
Using a Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable makes it easy to set up a network at home or in small
offices. For example, users can exchange data or share resources on the network,
such as a file server or printer.
With the Gigaset devices for wireless networks you can operate a LAN – as envisaged
in Standard IEEE 802.11 – in Ad-hoc mode and in Infrastructure mode.
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable supports DHCP for dynamic IP configuration of the local
network and DNS for Domain name mapping.
uInternet access
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable permits Internet access via a WAN socket with a trans-
mission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps. You can connect a DSL or cable modem to this
socket.
– Since many DSL providers permit communication with end users with the PPPoE
protocol, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable has an integrated Client for this protocol, so
you no longer have to install this service on your computer.
–SharedIPaddress
If your Internet Service Provider permits this, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable can
make do with a single IP address for up to 253 users. Several users on your net-
work can then surf the Internet at the same time using only one Internet Service
Provider account.
uVirtual Private Network (VPN)
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable supports three of the most common Protocols for set-
ting up a Virtual Private Network: PPTP, L2TP and IPSec. This allows you to connect
devices at different locations via the Internet securely, if your Internet Service Pro-
vider offers this service.

uProtection against unauthorised access from the Internet
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable offers comprehensive security measures such as:
–Firewall
All the PC's in the local network use the router's Public IP address for their Internet
connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the Internet. The router only allows
access from the Internet if it has been requested from the local network.
– With its firewall, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable also offers comprehensive protec-
tion from attack by hackers.
uOffering your own services on the Internet
– If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can configure the
router as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local network.
–DMZ
This allows you to release a PC on your local network for unrestricted access from
the Internet without compromising the security of the other PC's.
uRestricting Internet access
You can configure the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable so that Internet access is blocked or
limited for various users. You can also use filters to control which PC's are able to use
which Internet services, and you can disable access to certain Internet domains and
sites.
Important information:
iOn the CD supplied you will find a document entitled "Practical Tips and
Configuration Examples" which describes many of the uses of the Gigaset
SE505 dsl/cable in full detail together with their configuration settings.

work, you have to change their network settings. Configure these network settings
on one PC first so that it can establish a connection to the router. You can then use
that PC to configure the router. To find out how to do this, refer to "Configuring the
local network" on page 18.
4. In a wireless connection you establish the link from the PC's wireless network adapt-
er to the router. This is described in the network adapter's operating instructions.
5. Now configure the router to activate the router's Internet access (refer to the section
"General configuration with Basic Setup" on page 51).
This will require the access data from your Internet Service Provider.
6. If you want to connect more PC's to the router, configure their network settings to
set up the local network (refer to the section entitled "Configuring the local network"
on page 18).
7. If you wish to use the router's other functions, e.g. the comprehensive security fea-
tures, use the router's Security Setup (see page 59) or Advanced Setup (see
page 66).

ua wired or wireless Network adapter is connected to the PC. Please read the operat-
ing instructions that came with the adapter. The latest PC's and Notebooks have
wired adapters built in at the factory.
uConnectionPoint has been entered as SSID on the network adapter.
!
uOnly use the router with the mains adapter (12V DC 1A) that is sup-
plied.
uDo not plug any phone jack connectors into the router WAN and LAN
sockets.
uUse standard network cables for all connections (CAT-5) for the WAN
and LAN connections.
uAn Ethernet cable must not be longer than 100 metres.

Creating a LAN connection
You can connect PC's to your router in wireless or wired mode and so set up a local area
network (LAN).
Wireless
A wireless connection is established by a wireless network adapter installed in your PC.
This could be, for example, a Gigaset PCI Card 54, a Gigaset USB Adapter 54, a Gigaset
PC Card 54 or other 802.11g or 802.11b-compatible wireless network adapter.
You define a Wireless network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID. Assign the
router's SSID to the network adapters. The factory setting for the router's SSID is
ConnectionPoint.
If the correct SSID has been entered in your PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless
link will be established automatically once you connect your router to the mains power
supply (see page 17).
