Introduction
The Gigaset SE365 WLAN offers various possibilities for use in wired and wireless net-
works. It enables very simple wireless integration of remote PCs into a network. You can
also connect PCs together in a wireless network or provide wireless access to a wired
network.
Modern WPS technology allows secure WLAN connections to be established quickly.

Possible uses
You can use your Gigaset SE365 WLAN in various functions in your network. The device
provides three operating modes that you can choose to suit your requirements.
Use as repeater
The Gigaset SE365 WLAN can be used to increase the coverage of your wireless network
(WDS functionality). Set it up within the range of your network. The Gigaset SE365
WLAN will now transmit data traffic into its own wireless area. This allows you to set up
wireless networks that cover a much larger area than would otherwise be possible with
just one wireless router (e.g. Gigaset SE366 WLAN).
In this case, your Gigaset SE365 WLAN is operated in Repeater operating mode.
PCs that you wish to connect to a wireless local network via a Gigaset SE365 WLAN must
have a wireless network adapter, such as a Gigaset Card 300 or another 802.11n,
802.11g or 802.11b compatible network adapter.

Schablone 2005_07_27
Use as access point in conjunction with a router
The Gigaset SE365 WLAN permits wireless connection of PCs to an existing wired local
network. For example, the Gigaset SE365 WLAN can be connected via an Ethernet cable
to an Ethernet router, thus providing further PCs with wireless access to this network. It
is also possible to connect the Gigaset SE365 WLAN away from (e.g. on the first floor)
the Ethernet router (which is in the cellar for example) using cable.
In this case, your Gigaset SE365 WLAN is operated in Access point operating mode.
Use as wireless network adapter
The Gigaset SE365 WLAN can be connected directly to the Ethernet port of a PC or other
device (e.g. a games console, set-top box). It then functions as a wireless network
adapter, but uses the device's wired Ethernet port. You do not need to install any addi-
tional driver software on the device. This ensures that access to the wireless network is
independent of the operating system.
When you set up a connection from a computer or other device to an access point using
the Gigaset SE365 WLAN, you operate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN in Ethernet adapter
operating mode.

Schablone 2005_07_27
If you want to set up a wireless connection between two PCs or other devices using
the Gigaset SE365 WLAN, you have to use one Gigaset SE365 WLAN in Access point
operating mode, and all others in Ethernet adapter operating mode.
An example of this configuration, a wireless connection between two games consoles, can be
found on page 78.
Use for accessing the Internet with a PC
The Gigaset SE365 WLAN permits wireless Internet access for a PC. In this case, it is oper-
ated in Access point operating mode, connected directly to a DSL or cable modem.
However, simultaneous Internet access for several PCs is not possible. This requires a
wireless router (e.g. a Gigaset SE366 WLAN).
To access the Internet, an appropriate DSL or cable connection is required in addition to
a DSL or cable modem. You also need an Internet Service Provider for Internet access.
Internet access is configured using the software from your Internet Service Provider or
the Windows configurator. The Gigaset SE365 WLAN does not require any further
configuration.

Security functions
You can use various encryption methods and authentication methods (WPA2/WPA-PSK,
WPA2/WPA, WEP, MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to your wireless
LAN or to make data illegible for unauthorised parties. The security settings available to
you depend on the Operating Mode you select and the components used in your local
network. For further information please consult section "Setting data encryption" on
page 38.
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) makes it easier to establish and encrypt a wireless net-
work (1 click only). You no longer need to configure and synchronise the individual
components of your wireless network manually.
A wireless network has a name (SSID) and requires encryption of the data traffic against
the risk of eavesdropping. The access point requires authentication with an SSID and a
key to allow a WLAN adapter to access the services.
WPS uses the encryption method WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. Devices with WPS automati-
cally create an SSID and a WPA encryption key (pre-shared key) and synchronise each
other.
WPS is not possible in networks using the WEP encryption method or WPA2/WPA
authentication.
WPS provides two possibilities for registration:
uVia registration button
The access point (e.g. the Gigaset SE365 WLAN) has a WPS button, while Gigaset
devices have a button on the device’s back panel labelled Registration. After push-
ing this button, the device is ready to register a WLAN client (repeater or wireless
network adapter) for two minutes.
The first time this button is pushed, the device automatically creates an SSID and a
pre-shared key. If a client activates its WPS registration within these two minutes,
the security data is interchanged and a connection is established. It is ensured that
only one client is allowed to synchronise within the two minutes.

This procedure corresponds to the registration mode Push Button (default) on your
Gigaset SE365 WLAN.
Please note that a new SSID and pre-shared key will be generated when the registra-
tion button is pushed for the first time after each factory reset of the Gigaset SE365
WLAN. This means that the clients have to be registered again.
uVia Personal Identification Number (PIN)
The PIN offers higher security for registration. No other device (e.g. of the neigh-
bour) can log in unnoticed. A PIN is generated on one WLAN device, usually the
access point, which has to be entered on the other devices for registration. If a client
logs on with this PIN, the security data is synchronised.
It is also possible to create the PIN on one of the clients.

If the PIN of the device that you are just configuring is to be used in your network,
choose the registration mode Send own PIN.
However, if the device is to use the PIN of another device, choose the registration
mode Enter partner device PIN.
WLAN adapters without WPS can also be set up manually, i.e.SSID and key must be
entered manually.
The Gigaset SE365 WLAN provides WPS for all the three operation modes (Access point,
Repeater and Ethernet adapter). For further information, please consult the sections
"Connecting wirelessly to a PC without WPS" on page 18 and "Activating and configuring
WPS" on page 52.
Optimising the transmission quality
The transmission quality and range in your WLAN are influenced by different factors.
Specific environmental conditions (e.g. concrete walls or metal wires in the walls, elec-
trical devices such as microwaves, number of connected devices) can impair the trans-
mission rate. To achieve sufficient quality for data transmission - particularly video data
- you need a transmission rate as high and steady as possible. The current transmission
quality is shown on the user interface of your WLAN adapter or in the Windows status
display for the wireless network connection.
Use the following settings to optimise the transmission quality:
uArrange the WLAN devices more closely to each other, if possible,
uAdjust the antennas at the optimum position
uChoose a different channel,
uSet the transmission rate to a fixed value,
uChoose another frequency band.
You can operate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN within the 5-GHz or 2.4-GHz frequency band.
Within the 2.4-GHz frequency band you can reach a larger range. In contrast, the 5-GHz
frequency band is less susceptible to interferences. For information on the configura-
tion options of your wireless network, see section "Wireless Network" on page 49.

ìSet up the Gigaset SE365 WLAN at the required location.
ìInsert the round plug into the connection socket marked 12V DC 1A on the
Gigaset SE365 WLAN.
ìPlug the mains adapter into a socket to which no other devices are connected.
Please remember:
Never plug the mains adapter into a mains power socket if you are not sure that it com-
plies with the values on the nameplate. The mains adapter and device could be
destroyed and you might be injured.
Setting the operating mode
Repeater operating mode is set on delivery.
ìChoose the desired operating mode for your Gigaset SE365 WLAN via the Mode but-
ton on the back panel (see page 4). Press the button for at least two seconds to
switch to the next operating mode. The Mode LED shows the operating mode cur-
rently set.
Connecting devices wirelessly via WPS
If you use WPS (see page 7) you can connect wirelessly to other WLAN devices quite sim-
ply via the registration button.
Repeater operating mode
ìPress the registration button on the device’s back panel to start WPS registration
with an access point.
ìWithin two minutes, activate the registration button at the access point. The Gigaset
SE365 WLAN gets the security data for the access point (SSID and pre-shared key)
and is thus registered.
Note:
An installation wizard is provided on the product CD guiding you through all neces-
sary steps.
uIf the autostart function is activated on your PC, the installation wizard will open
automatically when you insert the CD.
uIf the wizard does not start automatically, open the CD drive within Windows

Access point operating mode
ìPress the registration button on the device’s back panel to start WPS registration.
ìWithin two minutes, activate WPS registration for the wireless network adapter on
the PC or the repeater. The client gets the security data for the Gigaset SE365 WLAN
(SSID and pre-shared key) and is thus registered.
Ethernet adapter operating mode
ìPress the registration button on the device’s back panel to start the WPS registration
with an access point.
ìWithin two minutes, activate the registration button at the access point. The Gigaset
SE365 WLAN gets the security data for the access point (SSID and pre-shared key)
and is thus registered.
Only one client is allowed to register during a single registration phase. If the device
indicates by means of the WLAN LED that more than one client tried to register, and if
the desired client has not registered successfully, an external device may have logged
on to your WLAN. In this case you should change the WPA-PSK key as soon as possible
(see page 39) and perform the WPS registration for the clients using a PIN (see
page 52).
Additional options for WPS registration are described on page 52.
WPS registration order
To establish a router/access point – repeater – PC connection proceed as follows:
1. Register the repeater at the router/access point.
2. Register the PC’s wireless network adapter at the router/access point. For that pur-
pose the PC must reside within the radio range of the router/access point.
3. Remove the PC from the range of the routers/access point and take it into the repeat-
er’s range. The WLAN connection to the repeater will be established automatically
after a while.
