Security functions
The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl offers comprehensive security measures:
–

protection against unauthorised access from the Internet

All PCs in the local area network use the

of the Gigaset SX763

WLAN dsl for their Internet connections, which makes them 'invisible' on the

Internet. The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl only allows access from the Internet if it

has been requested from the local area network.
With the firewall, the Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl also offers comprehensive protec-

tion against hacker attacks.

– Service filtering

The Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl can filter Internet access. Here you determine which

PCs may access which Internet services.

– Access control and encryption for the local area network

You can use various encryption methods and authentication methods (WEP, WPA/

WPA2, 802.1x MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to your wire-

less LAN or make data illegible to unauthorised parties.

Offering your own services on the Internet
– If you want to offer your own services on the Internet, you can set up the Gigaset

SX763 WLAN dsl as a virtual server without permitting further access to the local
area network.

–

(Exposed Host)

This allows you to release a PC in your local area network for unlimited access

from the Internet. Note that in this case your local area network will no longer be

adequately protected against Internet attacks.

– You can connect a USB hub to the USB port on your Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl and

thereby at the same time provide a printer and a storage medium for all clients in
your local area network.
