Features and Application

The Gigaset Router's wide range of features makes it ideal for a large number of

applications, such as:

setting up a local network
The Gigaset Router can accommodate
– four devices via

Ethernet

ports with a transmission speed of 10 or 100

Mbps

.

– for up to 253 mobile end devices via a wireless interface with a transmission

speed of 11 Mbps. Here it complies with Standard

IEEE 802.11b

– i.e. the router

can be used together with products of several other manufacturers.

Using a Gigaset Router makes it easy to set up a network at home or 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 local network–as

envisaged in Standard

IEEE 802.11

–in

Ad-hoc mode

and in

Infrastructure mode

.

The Gigaset Router supports

DHCP

for dynamic IP configuration of the local network

and

DNS

for Domain name mapping.

Internet

access

TheGigaset Router permits Internet access via a WAN socket with a transmission

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 via the

PPPoE

protocol, the Gigaset Router has an integrated

Client

for this protocol, that means

you no longer have to install this service on your computer.

– Shared IP address

If your Internet Service Provider permits this, the Gigaset Router can use a single

IP address

jointly for up to 253 users. Several users on your network can then surf

the Internet at the same time using only one Internet Service Provider account.

Virtual Private Network (

VPN

)

The Gigaset Router supports three of the most common

Protocols

for setting 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 Provider offers

this service.
