Access Point
An Access Point, such as the Gigaset SE366 WLAN, is the centre of a wireless local 
network (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. an already existing Ethernet LAN or via modem to the 
Internet. The operating mode of wireless networks with an Access Point is called 
infrastructure mode.
Ad-hoc mode
Ad-hoc mode describes wireless local networks (WLAN) in which the network 
components set up a spontaneous network without an Access Point, e.g. several 
notebooks in a conference. All the network components are peers. They must have a 
wireless network adapter.
Authentication
Authentication checks the true identity of a PC against a particular property.
Bridge
A Bridge connects several network segments to form a joint network, e.g. to make a TCP/
IP network. The segments can have different physical characteristics, e.g. different 
linking such as Ethernet and wireless LANs. Linking individual segments via Bridges 
allows local networks of practically unlimited size.

Broadcast
A Broadcast is a data packet not directed to a particular recipient but to all the network 
components on the network. The Gigaset SE366 WLAN does not broadcast packets on; 
they always remain within the local network (LAN) it administers. 
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
DHCP handles the automatic assignment of IP addresses to network components. It was 
developed because in large networks – especially the Internet – the defining of IP 
addresses is very complex as participants frequently move, drop out or new ones join. 
A DHCP Server automatically assigns the connected network components (DHCP 
clients) dynamic addresses from a defined IP address pool range thus saving a great deal 
of configuration 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 SE366 WLAN includes a DHCP server and can automatically assign IP 
addresses for the PCs on its local network. For certain PCs you can specify that their IP 
addresses are never changed.
