WLAN radio encryption make surfing safe.
Speed
Use HSDPA for mobile DSL speed to surf the internet on your PC or laptop.
Flexibility
XSBoxR4v enables you to set up internet access quickly and easily from the most diverse places - at home, in the office
or on the road; a power source is all you need. Mobile project teams can thus set up their usual network environment
anywhere.
Networking
The XSBoxR4v is configured so that you can use internet access with several devices at the same time, such as laptop,
PDA or PC. Furthermore it is possible to exchange data amongst the devices connected. Thus it is simple and safe to
synchronise emails from your laptop to your PC, using either LAN or WLAN - the XSBoxR4v is already prepared for this.
All computers which are connected to the XSBoxR4v form a network and each computer can access the data and prin-
ters which are authorised in the network.
Security
The XSBoxR4v offers comprehensive security functions. On the one hand they are protected against attacks from the
internet by the integrated firewall. On the other hand the XSBoxR4v offers comprehensive protection for the WLAN net-
work. WEP, WPA1, WPA2 und WPA1+2 encryptions are available. Thus you have more flexibility to decide which pro-
tection is best for you (the particular support depends on your computer's WLAN interface).

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
BothWLANstandardsIEEE802.11b and IEEE 802.11g havebeendeveloped bytheInstituteof Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE). The 802.11b technology can reach a transmission rate of up to 11 Mbit/s, 54 Mbit/s are possible with
the 802.11g technology.
The XSBoxR4v supports both standards. WLAN adapters, which are based on one of these standards can establish con-
nections to XSBoxR4v. Coverage within WLAN depends very much on the WLAN adapter used as well as the structural
conditions. WLAN devices with differing standards can establish a connection simultaneously and in parallel to the
XSBoxR4v. XSBoxR4v has an internal WLAN antenna, which is not visible on the housing.
Administration interface
The XSBoxR4v administration interface can be reached with a browser. Enter this address in the address line of your
browser: http://192.168.0.1. The browser must be JavaScript and CSS enabled (e.g. Microsoft Internet Explorer from
version 5.5 or Mozilla Firefox).
Note: Please configure your browser so that Javascript is enabled.
DHCP server
XSBoxR4v has its own DHCP server. This is activated in the factory settings. Every computer which is connected hereto
will be allocated an IP address from the DHCP server. It is possible to allocate fixed IP addresses directly to the network
set-up for computers, which are connected to the XSBoxR4v. The following IP addresses are reserved and may not be
used, as the operating mode depends upon these:
■ 192.168.0.1
■ 192.168.0.10 up to 192.168.0.200
Note: Should the XSBoxR4v be used in a network, then no other DHCP server should be operated in this network.

Setup assistant - Step 3
It is very important that the encryption for your network is activated, as it is otherwise not protected against misuse. Un-
expected cost could arise for you as a result.
■ WLAN network name (SSID)
TheSSIDisthe name withwhichthedeviceidentifiesitself inthewireless network. Youcanthen selectthisname
on your computer to be connected to the device.
■ SSID Broadcast
The device usually sends its SSID to offer itself to client computers. It is possible to switch this off to increase
security. In this case, the SSID known to you must then be entered manually on the client computer.
■ Encryption
It is imperative to encrypt WLAN data traffic, in order to avoid third parties connecting to your device via WLAN
or tapping into your data traffic. The safest methods are in this order: WPA 1+2, WPA 1, WEP 128 Bit, WEP 64
Bit. You should set-up the safest method supported by your computer. Incidentally the current Windows and Mac
OS versions support both WPA 1+2. For simple access the XSBoxR4v is delivered from the factory without en-
cryption.

XSBoxR4v

■ Key
You still need to choose a key once you have decided which encryption to use. When using WPA method, you
can register either a password (e.g.mustermann) or a hexadecimal string as the key.
Note: You should activate the WPA1+2 encryption in order to guarantee the highest possible protection. Furthermore we warn you of
the fact that an unencrypted connection can create high cost as anyone from outside can use your network.
Setup assistant - Step 4
Security level
The security level enables you to decide in favour of a certain pre-set security configuration. These configurations have
a bearing on which type of data traffic the device allows, e.g. WWW or FTP services, Email etc. Should you need a de-
tailed configuration of these security settings, then you can later extend the selected basic settings in the menu security
(see also “Security settings” on page 33).
Note: Should the PIN query on your SIM card be deactivated, please highlight the field ignore PIN/SIM error and do not enter anything
under "set-up assistant - step 1" on page 18.
Click then on the button finish.
Note: Once you have activated the encryption in the setup assistant - Step 3, then you must configure the encryption in your operating
system's control panel and continue from here (see also “Step 5 - Configure encryption for your computer” on page 24).
