 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.
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.
