With address mapping, several users in the local network can access the Internet via one or more public IP addresses. All the local IP addresses are assigned to the router's public IP address by default. One of the characteristics of NAT is that data from the Internet is not allowed into the local network unless it has been explicitly requested by one of the PCs in the network. Most Internet applications can run behind the NAT firewall without any problems. For example, if you request Internet pages or send and receive e-mails, the request for data from the Internet comes from a PC in the local network and so the router allows the data through. The router opens precisely one port for the application. A port in this context is an internal PC address, via which the data is exchanged between the Internet and a client on a PC in the local network. Communicating via a port is subject to the rules of a particular protocol (TCP or UDP).If an external application tries to send a call to a PC in the local network, the router will block it. There is no open port via which the data could enter the local network.Some applications, such as games on the Internet, require several links, i.e. several ports so that the players can communicate with each other. In addition, these applications must also be permitted to send requests from other users on the Internet to users in the local network. These applications cannot run if Network Address Translation (NAT) has been activated.Using port forwarding (the forwarding of requests to particular ports) the router is forced to send requests from the Internet for a certain service, for example a game, to the appropriate port(s) on the PC on which the game is running.When the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is supplied, the NAT function is activated, i.e. all IP addresses of PCs in the local network are converted to the router's public IP address when accessing the Internet.
37Advanced configurationYou can use the NAT settings to configure the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl to carry out the following tasks:uSet up the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl as a virtual server by configuring Port Forward-ing (see below).uOpen the NAT firewall for a selected PC (page 38).Port ForwardingIf you configure Port Forwarding, the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl outwardly assumes the role of the server. It receives requests from remote users under its public IP address and automatically redirects them to local PCs. The private IP addresses of the servers on the local network remain protected.Internet services are addressed via defined port numbers. The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl needs a mapping table of the port numbers to redirect the service requests to the serv-ers that actually provide the service. ìIn the Applications & Gaming menu, select Port Forwarding.You can choose a service from a list of predefined applications or create an entry man-ually.ìSelect the add box to activate the fields in a row to create a new entry.ìIf more than one interface is configured select the Interface for which the port for-warding should apply from the option menu.ìSelect the required application from the Predefined Applications list.ìEnter the IP address of the PC that provides the service in the Local IP field. How to determine the IP addresses of the individual PCs is described in chapter "Local net-work configuration" on page 45.If the application you require is not in the list, you must manually enter the relevant data on the screen:ìSelect the add box to activate the fields in a row to create a new entry.ìIf more than one interface is configured select the Interface for which the port for-warding should apply from the option menu.ìSelect the protocol for the service you are providing from the Protocol list.ìUnder Public Port, enter the port number of the service you are providing.ìIn the Local Port field, enter the internal port number to which service requests are to be forwarded.
38Advanced configurationìEnter the IP address of the PC that provides the service in the Local IP field. How to find out the IP addresses of the individual PCs is described in chapter "Local network configuration" on page 45.Example: The Web server has been configured to react to requests on port 8080. How-ever, the requests from web sites enter the Web server via port 80 (standard value). If you add the PC to the forwarding table and define port 80 as the public port and port 8080 as an internal port, all requests from the Internet are diverted to the service with the port number 80 on the Web server of the PC you have defined with port 8080.ìSelect the del box to delete an entry. ìClick Save Settings to apply your settings.DMZYou can set up a client in your local network to be a so-called "exposed host" (DMZ). Your device will then forward all incoming data traffic from the Internet to this client. You can then, for example, operate your own Web server on one of the clients in your local net-work and make it accessible to Internet users.As the exposed host, the local client is directly visible to the Internet and therefore par-ticularly vulnerable to attacks (e.g. hacker attacks). Only activate this function if it is absolutely necessary (e.g. to operate a Web server) and other functions (e.g. port for-warding) are not adequate. In this case you should take appropriate measures for the clients concerned.ìIn the Applications & Gaming menu, select: DMZ ìSelect the add box to activate the fields in a row to create a new entry.ìIf more than one interface is configured select the Interface for which the DMZ should apply from the option menu.ìEnter the IP address of the PC that is to be enabled as DMZ in the Current Host IP field.ìSelect the del box to delete an entry. ìClick Save Settings to apply your settings.Note:Only one PC per public IP address (interface) can be set up as a DMZ.

45Local network configurationLocal network configurationModern computers running Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Mac OS X operating systems are usually already configured on delivery to operate without diffi-culty in a wired local network (Ethernet/LAN) or wireless network (WLAN). The connec-tion to a router or access point is established automatically in this case. If there is no connection to a Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl as yet, you may need to adapt the network settings on the computer. uYou have to define the network name and the encryption on the computer for a wireless connection (see page 47).uNetwork addresses (IP addresses) are normally assigned automatically. To change the default settings of your operating system for assigning IP addresses, you have to change the TCP/IP settings. You will find further information about this topic in the Section "IP addresses" after a short introduction. The TCP/IP settings for the various operating system variants are then described from page 51 onwards.uIf you are still using Windows 98, you will need to install TCP/IP and set up a network on the PC if your PC has not been operated previously in a network (see page 61).IP addressesEvery PC in the network must have a unique network address, referred to as the IP address, so that it can be accessed by and differentiated from the other components in the network. Your Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl is equipped with a DHCP server, which performs the addressing in the network independently. This means that the IP addresses are automat-ically assigned to the computers (dynamic IP addresses). Under normal circumstances you therefore do not have to do anything because the Obtain an IP address automatically (Using DHCP for Mac OS X) option is set when the network is set up. It is advisable in some cases, however, to assign static IP addresses, for example if you wish to run a wireless network in ad-hoc mode or want to make PC services available on the Internet. In this case, you have to change the network settings of the PCs and con-figure static IP addresses. Note:You can check whether your PC already has a connection to a router or access point by simply entering the ping command at the command prompt of your Windows operating system or at the Terminal of your Mac OS X. Please refer to Section "Check-ing the connection to the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl" on page 74 for further details.
46Local network configurationInformation on assigning static IP addressesYou define the private IP addresses for the computers in your local network yourself. Addresses from an address block reserved for private use should be used. This is the address block 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.254.254Example:PC 1: 192.168.1.2PC 2: 192.168.1.3 etc.Computer names and workgroupsWhen your network is being set up, your computer is assigned a name. This is carried out when the operating system is installed (with the exception of Windows 98), i.e. your computer already has a computer name when it is delivered. The computer name is the name under which your computer is displayed in the network view. You can change the computer name, if desired. Windows operating systemsWhen your network is set up, your PC is assigned to a workgroup. This is carried out when the operating system is installed (with the exception of Windows 98), i.e. your PC has already been assigned by default to a standard working group (usually WORK-GROUP). The workgroup includes a number of PCs that belong to a network and can share common resources, such as printers and files. You can change the workgroup to which your PC has been assigned. Please remember:The IP addresses you can assign also depend on the subnet mask for your network. The subnet mask used limits the IP addresses that can be assigned as it determines how many parts of the IP address of a network represent the network number and how many the computer number. 255.255.255.0 is normally used in a private network as the subnet mask. This means the first three parts of the IP address form the network number and the final part can be used for assigning computer numbers. The first three parts of the IP address of all network components are therefore always the same. In the case of subnet mask 255.255.0.0, the first two address parts would have to be identical. An example of subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is given below.For example, this is correct:Address of access point: 192.168.1.1Computer 1: 192.168.1.12Computer 2: 192.168.1.60 ...This is incorrect:Address of access point: 192.168.1.1Computer 1: 192.168.2.2Computer 2: 192.168.3.3
47Local network configurationSetting up a wireless networkA wireless network connection is made using a wireless adapter that must be installed on your computer. You may first have to connect a wireless adapter to your notebook or your computer. For example, this can be a Gigaset USB Adapter, a Gigaset USB Stick or a Gigaset PC Card, but also a different IEEE 802.11n, 802.11g or 802.11b-compatible wireless adapter. If you are using this type of wireless adapter, you can set up the con-nection to the wireless network using the relevant software. Instructions for this can be found in the user manual for your wireless adapter.Most modern notebooks already have a wireless adapter fitted when delivered. In this case, you should use the tools provided by the operating system to connect the PC, note-book or Mac to the wireless network.We explain below how to connect a PC or notebook to a wireless network using Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista and Mac OS X.To set up the connection, you need the network name (SSID) of your wireless network and the key defined on the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl for encrypting wireless data traffic. Carry out the following steps:ìStart your notebook or your computer. Make sure your wireless adapter is switched on. Notebooks generally have a switch for this purpose as well as an LED as a func-tion display.Windows XPIf Windows XP receives signals of wireless networks in the current environ-ment this will be indicated by the symbol for the wireless network connection in the status area of the taskbar. ìRight-click the icon in this case and choose the Show available wireless networks option.

81GlossaryGlossaryAccess pointAn access point, such as the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, is the centre of a wireless local network (WLAN). It handles the connection of the wireless linked network components and regulates data traffic in the wireless network. The access point also serves as an interface to other networks, for example an existing Ethernet LAN or via a modem to the Internet. The operating mode of wireless networks with an access point is called Infrastructure mode.Ad-hoc modeAd-hoc mode describes wireless local networks (WLANs) in which the network compo-nents set up a spontaneous network without an Access point, for example several Note-books in a conference. All the network components are peers. They must have a wire-less Network adapter. ADSLAsymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) and ADSL 2+ are special types of DSL data transfer technology.AESAdvanced Encryption StandardAES is an encryption system published as a standard in October 2000 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It is used for WPA encryption. A distinction is made between the three AES variants AES-128, AES-192 and AES-256 on the basis of the key length.Auto connectAuto connect means that applications such as Web browser, Messenger and E-mail automatically open an Internet connection when they are launched. This can lead to high charges if you are not using a Flat rate. To avoid this, you can select the manual connection option on the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl.BridgeA bridge connects several network segments to form a joint network, for example to make a TCP/IP network. The segments can have different physical characteristics, for example different cabling as with Ethernet and wireless LANs. Linking individual seg-ments via bridges allows local networks of practically unlimited size. See also: Switch, Hub, Router, Gateway BroadcastA broadcast is a data packet not directed to a particular recipient but to all the network components in the network. The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl does not pass on broadcast packets; they always remain within the local network (LAN) it administers.
82GlossaryBSSIDBasic Service Set IDBSSID permits unique differentiation of one wireless network (WLAN) from another. In Infrastructure mode, the BSSID is the MAC address of the Access point. In wireless net-works in Ad-hoc mode, the BSSID is the MAC address of any one of the participants.ClientA client is an application that requests a service from a server. For example, an HTTP cli-ent on a PC in a local network requests data, i.e. Web pages from an HTTP server on the Internet. Frequently the network component (e.g. the PC) on which the client applica-tion is running is also called a client.DHCPDynamic Host Configuration ProtocolDHCP handles the automatic assignment of IP addresses to network components. It was developed because of the complexity involved in defining IP addresses in large networks – especially the Internet – as participants frequently move, drop out or new ones join. A DHCP server automatically assigns the connected network components (DHCP Cli-ents) Dynamic IP addresses from a defined IP pool range thus saving a great deal of con-figuration work. In addition, the address blocks can be used more effectively: Since not all participants are on the network at the same time, the same IP address can be assigned to different network components in succession as and when required.The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl includes a DHCP server and uses it to assign IP addresses automatically to PCs in the local network. You can specify that the IP addresses for cer-tain PCs are never changed.DHCP serverSee DHCP DMZDemilitarised ZoneDMZ describes a part of a network that is outside the Firewall. A DMZ is set up, as it were, between a network you want to protect (e.g. a LAN) and a non-secure network (e.g. the Internet). A DMZ is useful if you want to offer Server services on the Internet that are not to be run from behind the firewall for security reasons, or if Internet appli-cations do not work correctly behind a firewall. A DMZ permits unrestricted access from the Internet to only one or a few network components, while the other network com-ponents remain secure behind the firewall.
83GlossaryDNSDomain Name SystemDNS 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 LAN with an 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.On the Internet, the assignment of domain names to IP addresses follows a hierarchical system. A local PC only knows the address of the local name server. This in turn knows all the addresses of the PCs in the local network and the superordinate name servers, which again know addresses of the next superordinate name servers. DNS serverSee DNS Domain nameThe domain name is the reference to one or more Web servers on the Internet. The domain name is mapped via the DNS service to the corresponding IP address.DoS attackDenial of ServiceA DoS attack is a particular form of hacker attack directed at computers and networks with a connection to the Internet. The aim is not so much to steal data but to paralyse the computer or network so severely that the network resources are no longer available. A typical hacker attack involves making a remote computer announce that it is acting for the paralysed computer, for example, and receive the data intended for you.DSLDigital Subscriber LineDSL is a data transfer technique in which a connection to the Internet can be run at high speed over normal telephone lines. A DSL connection is provided by an Internet service provider. It requires a DSL modem.Dynamic IP addressA dynamic IP address is assigned to a network component automatically by DHCP. This means that the IP address of a network component can change with every login or at certain intervals.See also: Static IP address
84GlossaryDynDNSDynamic DNSThe assignment of Domain names and IP addresses is handled by the Domain Name Service (DNS). This service is now enhanced with so-called Dynamic DNS (DynDNS) for Dynamic IP addresses. This enables the use of a network component with a dynamic IP address as a Server on the Internet. DynDNS ensures that a service can always be addressed on the Internet under the same domain name regardless of the current IP address.EncryptionEncryption protects confidential information against unauthorized access. With an encryption system, data packets can be sent securely over a network. The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl offers WEP encryption and WPA for secure data transfer over wireless net-works.EthernetEthernet is a network technology for local networks (LANs) defined by the IEEE as stand-ard IEEE 802.3. Ethernet uses a base-band cable with a transfer rate of 10 or 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps.FirewallFirewalls are used by network operators as protection against unauthorized external access. This involves a whole bundle of hardware and software actions and technologies that monitor and control the data flow between the private network to be protected and an unprotected network such as the Internet. See also: NAT Flat rateFlat rate is a particular billing system for Internet connections. The Internet service pro-vider charges a monthly fee regardless of the duration and number of logins.FTP (File Transfer Protocol) FTP is a protocol for exchanging files on the Internet. You can use it, for example, to offer files for downloading or to receive files from other users.Full duplexData transfer mode in which data can be sent and received at the same time. See also: Half duplex GatewayA gateway is a device for connecting networks with completely different architectures (addressing, protocols, application interfaces etc.). Although it is not totally correct, the term is also used as a synonym for Router.Global IP addressSee Public IP address
85GlossaryHalf duplexOperating mode for data transmission. Only one side can send and/or receive data at the same time.See also: Full duplexHTTP proxyAn HTTP proxy is a Server that network components use for their Internet traffic. All requests are sent via the proxy. HubA hub connects several network components in a star-topology network by sending all the data it receives from one network component to all the other network components. See also: Switch, Bridge, Router, Gateway IEEEInstitute of Electrical and Electronic EngineersThe IEEE is an international body for defining network standards, especially for stand-ardising LAN technologies, transfer protocols, data transfer speeds and wiring. IEEE 802.11IEEE 802.11 is a standard for wireless LANs operating in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band. In the so-called Infrastructure mode, terminals can be connected to a base station (Access point) or they can connect with each other spontaneously (Ad-hoc mode).IGMPInternet Group Management ProtocolIGMP is an Internet Protocol that enables an Internet computer to inform neighbouring routers that it is a member of a multicast group. With multicasting, a computer can send content on the Internet to several other computers that have registered an interest in the first computer's content. Multicasting can, for example, be used for multimedia pro-grams for media streaming to recipients that have set up multicast group membership.Infrastructure modeInfrastructure mode is a way of operating wireless local networks (WLANs) in which an Access point handles the data traffic. Network components cannot establish a direct connection with each other as is the case in Ad-hoc mode.
86GlossaryInternetThe Internet is a wide-area network (WAN) linking several million users around the world. A number of Protocols have been created for exchanging data, and these are known collectively as TCP/IP protocol stack. All participants on the Internet can be iden-tified by an IP address. Servers are addressed by Domain names (e.g. siemens.com). Domain names are assigned to IP addresses by the Domain Name Service (DNS). These are some of the main Internet services: uElectronic mail (e-mail)uThe World Wide Web (WWW)uFile transfer (FTP)uDiscussion forums (Usenet / Newsgroups)Internet service providerAn Internet service provider offers access to the Internet for a fee. IPInternet protocolThe IP Protocol is one of the TCP/IP protocols. It is responsible for addressing parties in a network using IP addresses and routes data from the sender to the recipient. It decides the paths along which the data packets travel from the sender to the recipient in a com-plex network (routing).IP addressThe IP address is the unique network-wide address of a network component in a net-work based on the TCP/IP protocols (e.g. in a local area network (LAN) or on the Inter-net). The IP address has four parts (each with up to three-position digit sequences) sep-arated by full stops (e.g. 192.168.1.1). The IP address comprises the network number and the computer number. Depending on the Subnet mask, one, two or three parts form the network number; the remainder form the computer number. You can find out the IP address of your PC using the ipconfig command. IP addresses can be assigned manually (see Static IP address) or automatically (see Dynamic IP address).On the Internet Domain names are normally used instead of IP addresses. The DNS is used to assign domain names to IP addresses.The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl has a Private IP address and a Public IP address.IPoAIP over ATMIP pool rangeThe Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl's IP address pool defines a range of IP addresses that the router's DHCP server can use to assign Dynamic IP addresses.
87GlossaryISPSee Internet service provider LANLocal networkA local area network (or local network) links network components so that they can exchange data and share resources. The physical range is restricted to a particular area (a site). As a rule the users and operators are identical. A local network can be connected to other local networks or to a wide-area network (WAN) such as the Internet.With the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl you can set up a wired local Ethernet network and a wireless IEEE 802.11g standard network (WLAN).Local IP addressSee Private IP address MAC addressMedia Access ControlThe MAC address is used for the globally unique identification of Network adapters. It comprises six parts (hexadecimal numbers), e.g. 00-90-96-34-00-1A. The MAC address is assigned by the network adapter manufacturer and should not be changed. MbpsMillion bits per secondSpecification of the transfer speed in a network.MERMAC Encapsulated RoutingMRUMaximum Receive UnitThe MRU defines the maximum user data volume within a data packet.MTUMaximum Transmission UnitThe MTU defines the maximum length of a data packet that can be carried over the net-work at any one time.
88GlossaryNATNetwork Address TranslationNAT is a method for converting IP addresses (Private IP addresses) within a network into one or several Public IP addresses on the Internet. With NAT, several network compo-nents in a LAN can share the router's public IP address to connect to the Internet. The network components of the local network are hidden behind the router's IP address reg-istered on the Internet. Because of this security function, NAT is frequently used as part of the Firewall of a network. If you want to make services on a PC in the local network available on the Internet despite NAT, you can configure the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl as a Virtual server.NetworkA 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 networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs).Network adapterThe network adapter is the hardware device that creates the connection between a net-work component and a local network. The connection can be wired or wireless. An Eth-ernet network card is an example of a wired network adapter. The Gigaset PC Card 108 and the Gigaset USB Adapter 108 are examples of wireless network adapters.A network adapter has a unique address, the MAC address.Public IP addressThe public IP address (also known as the global IP address) is a network component's address on the Internet. It is assigned by the Internet service provider. Devices that cre-ate a link from a LAN to the Internet, such as the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, have a public and a Private IP address.PortData is exchanged between two applications in a network across a port. The port number addresses an application within a network component. The combination of IP address/port number uniquely identifies the recipient or sender of a data packet within a network. Some applications (e.g. Internet services such as HTTP or FTP) work with fixed port numbers; others are allocated a free port number whenever they need one.Port forwardingIn port forwarding, the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl directs data packets from the Internet that are addressed to a particular Port to the corresponding port of the appropriate net-work component. This enables servers within the local network to offer services on the Internet without them needing a Public IP address. See also: Virtual server
89GlossaryPPPoAPoint-to-Point Protocol over ATM PPPoA is a Protocol for connecting network components in a local Ethernet network to the Internet via an ATM network. PPPoEPoint-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet PPPoE is a Protocol for connecting network components in a local Ethernet network to the Internet via a modem. Private IP addressThe private IP address (also known as the local IP address) is a network component's address within the local network (LAN). The network operator can assign any address he or she wants. Devices that act as a link from a local network, such as the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, have a private and a Public IP address.ProtocolA protocol describes the agreements for communicating in a network. It contains rules for opening, administering and closing a connection, as well as in relation to data for-mats, time frames and possible troubleshooting. Communication between two applica-tions requires different protocols at various levels, for example the TCP/IP protocols for the Internet. PVCPermanent Virtual CircuitA permanent virtual circuit is a logical connection in an ATM network. Multiple PVCs can share the same physical connection at the same time.Radio networkSee WLAN Rekey intervalThe rekey interval is the period after which new keys are automatically generated for data encryption with WPA-PSK.Remote managementRemote management refers to the ability to manage a network from a network compo-nent that is actually outside the local network (LAN).RepeaterA repeater extends the range of a wireless local network by relaying data from the Access point to additional PCs or Network adapters.
90GlossaryRoamingRoaming extends the range of a wireless LAN by using several Access points that use the same SSID and the same radio channel and are linked via Ethernet. The PCs in the net-work can switch dynamically between several access points without losing the existing network connection. RouterA router directs data packets from one local network (LAN) to another via the fastest route. A router makes it possible to connect networks that have different network tech-nologies. For example, it can link a local network with Ethernet or WLAN technology to the Internet.See also: Bridge, Switch, Hub, Gateway ServerA server makes a service available to other network components (Clients). The term "server" is often used to refer to a computer or PC. However, it can also mean an appli-cation that provides a particular service such as DNS, Web server, file server or print server.SMTPSimple Mail Transfer ProtocolThe SMTP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It governs the exchange of elec-tronic mail on the Internet. Your Internet service provider provides you with access to an SMTP server.SNMPSimple Network Management ProtocolThe SNMP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. It provides a simple procedure for administering the network based on a system of shared information for manage-ment data and network management messages (known as traps) and reports the occur-rence of events within the monitored network (e.g. an alarm message or notification of configuration changes).SSIDService Set IdentifierThe SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (WLAN). All wireless net-work components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be assigned by the network operator. Static IP addressA static IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network con-figuration. Unlike the Dynamic IP address, a static (fixed) IP address never changes.SubnetA subnet divides a network into smaller units.
91GlossarySubnet maskThe subnet mask determines how many parts of IP addresses of a network represent the network number and how many parts the computer number. If the subnet mask is in a network that is administered by the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl, for example 255.255.255.0, the first three parts of the IP address form the network number and only the final part can be used for assigning host numbers. The first three parts of the IP address of all network components are therefore always the same in this case.SwitchA switch, like a Hub, is an element used to link different network segments or compo-nents. Unlike a hub however, the switch has its own intelligence that enables it to for-ward packets to only the subnet or network component for which they are intended. See also: Bridge, Hub, Router, Gateway TCPTransmission Control ProtocolThe TCP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. TCP handles data transport between communication partners (applications). TCP is a session-based transfer proto-col, i.e. it sets up, monitors and terminates a connection for transferring data.See also: UDP TCP/IPProtocol family on which the Internet is based. IP forms the basis for every computer-to-computer connection. TCP provides applications with a reliable transmission link in the form of a continuous data stream. TCP/IP is the basis on which services such as WWW, Mail and News are built. There are other protocols as well.TKIPTemporal Key Integrity ProtocolTKIP is a security protocol used for data Encryption in wireless networks. It is used for WPA encryption. It was designed to correct deficiencies in the older Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard. For this reason TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, a message integrity check, and a rekeying mechanism. TKIP ensures that every data packet is sent with its own unique encryption key.UDPUser Datagram ProtocolUDP is a Protocol of the TCP/IP protocol family that handles data transport between two communication partners (applications). Unlike TCP, UDP is a non-session based proto-col. It does not establish a fixed connection. The recipient is responsible for making sure the data is received. The sender is not notified about whether it is received or not.
92GlossaryUPnPUniversal Plug and PlayUPnP technology is used for the spontaneous linking of home or small office networks. Devices that support UPnP carry out their network configuration automatically once they are connected to a network. They also provide their own services or use services of other devices in the network automatically. URLUniversal Resource LocatorGlobally unique address of a domain on the Internet. VCIVirtual Channel IdentifierPart of an address in an ATM network.Virtual serverA virtual Server provides a service on the Internet that does not run on itself, but on another network component. The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl can be configured as a vir-tual server. It will then direct incoming calls for a service via Port forwarding directly to the appropriate Port of the network component in question. VLANVirtual Local Area NetworkA VLAN is a virtual local network within a physical network. A widely disseminated tech-nical implementation of VLANs is defined partially in the Standard IEEE 802.1Q. VLAN allows preferred forwarding of voice data, for example. This functionality is important for VoIP (IP telephony). This also means that phone calls can be made without interrup-tion within a restricted bandwidth. VPIVirtual Path IdentifierPart of an address in an ATM network.WANWide Area NetworkA WAN is a wide area network that is not restricted physically to a particular area, for example the Internet. A WAN is run by one or more public providers to enable private access. You access the Internet via an Internet service provider.Web serverSee Server
93GlossaryWEPWired Equivalent PrivacyWEP is a security protocol defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. It is used to protect wire-less transmissions in a WLAN against unauthorized access through Encryption of the data transmitted. WLANWireless LANWireless LANs enable network components to communicate with a network using radio waves as the transport medium. A wireless LAN can be connected as an extension to a wired LAN or it can form the basis for a new network. The basic element of a wireless network is the cell. This is the area where the wireless communication takes place. A WLAN can be operated in Ad-hoc mode or Infrastructure mode.WLAN is currently specified in Standard IEEE 802.11. The Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl com-plies with Standard 802.11g. WPAWPA is a new standard-conformant solution for greater security in wireless networks. WPA is meant to replace the existing WEP standard (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and offers more reliable encryption and authentication methods. WPA-PSKWPA Pre-shared KeyVariant of WPA data encryption in which new keys are automatically generated at regu-lar intervals by means of a keyword (pre-shared key).
