Features and applications

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable's wide range of features make it ideal for a large number of

applications, such as:

◆

Setting up a local network
The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable provides connections
– for four devices via

Ethernet

ports with a transmission speed of 10 or 100

Mbps

.

– for up to 253 mobile terminals via a wireless interface with a transmission speed

of 54 Mbps. Here it complies with Standard

IEEE 802.11g

– i.e. the router can be

used together with products of several other manufacturers.

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 LAN – as envisaged

in Standard

IEEE 802.11

– in

Ad-hoc mode

and in

Infrastructure mode

.

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable supports

DHCP

for dynamic IP configuration of the local

network and

◆

Internet

access

The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable 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 with the

PPPoE

protocol, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable has an integrated

Client

for this protocol, so

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

– Shared IP address

If your Internet Service Provider permits this, the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable can

make do with a single

IP address

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 SE505 dsl/cable supports three of the most common

Protocols

for

setting up a Virtual Private Network:

PPTP

,

connect devices at different locations via the Internet securely, if your Internet

Service Provider offers this service.
