Introduction 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.
Page 7: Possible Uses
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,...
Page 8 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.
Page 9 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.
Page 10: Security Functions
WPS provides two possibilities for registration: Via 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.
Page 11 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.
Page 12: Optimising The Transmission Quality
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"...

Glossary Access Point An access point, such as the Gigaset SE365 WLAN, is the centre of a wireless local net- work (WLAN). It handles the connection of the wireless linked network components and regulates the data traffic in the wireless network. The access point also serves as an interface to other networks, e.g.
Page 75 Glossary DHCP Server DHCP Domain Name System DNS permits the assignment of IP addresses to computers or Domain names that are easier to remember. A DNS server must administer this information for each with Internet connection. As soon as a page on the Internet is called up, the browser obtains the corresponding IP address from the DNS server so that it can establish the connection.
Page 76 TCP/IP. All participants on the Internet can be identified by an address. Servers are addressed by Domain names (e.g. siemens.com). Domain names are assigned to IP addresses by the Domain Name Service (DNS). Among the most important Internet services are:...

Page 78 Glossary Network A network is a group of devices connected in wired or wireless mode so that they can share resources such as data and peripherals. A general distinction is made between local area networks (LAN) and wide-area networks (WAN). Network adapter The network adapter is the hardware device that implements the connection of a net- work component to a local network.
Page 79 The subnet mask administered by the Gigaset SE365 WLAN is always 255.255.255.0. That means the first three parts of the IP address form the network number and the final part is used for assigning computer numbers.
Page 80 This is the area where the wireless communication takes place. WLAN is currently specified in Standard IEEE 802.11. The Gigaset SE365 WLAN complies with Standard 802.11n as regards hardware. In terms of software, an update is planned as soon as the standard is passed definitely.
