User manual SIEMENS GIGASET SE365

[. . . ] EN Dear Customer, Gigaset Communications GmbH is the legal successor to Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices GmbH & Co. KG (SHC), which in turn continued the Gigaset business of Siemens AG. Any statements made by Siemens AG or SHC that are found in the user guides should therefore be understood as statements of Gigaset Communications GmbH. Sehr geehrte Kundin, sehr geehrter Kunde, die Gigaset Communications GmbH ist Rechtsnachfolgerin der Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices GmbH & Co. [. . . ] Administration Additionally, you can activate the WPS function. You can make or edit various system settings in this menu, e. g. You can restart the device (see page 64) and update the firmware (see page 64). 45 Configuring the Advanced Settings Local Network In the Local Network menu, you can determine the settings for assigning IP addresses. In Ethernet adapter operating mode, this page only shows the assigned IP address and the defined subnet mask. ì Select Advanced Settings ­ Local Network. Repeater/Access point operating mode The preset IP address for your Gigaset SE365 WLAN is 192. 168. 2. 254. ì If you want to change this, enter the desired IP address and subnet mask in the fields. Make sure that the IP address you assign complies with the default settings of the router used in your network and with the conventions for private IP addresses described in the document "Configuring the local network" delivered on CD. 46 Configuring the Advanced Settings If you want to use several Gigaset SE365 WLAN in the same network, make sure you assign different IP addresses to each of them. Use an address block that is within the selected subnet but not in the address block of the addresses automatically assigned by the DHCP server in your network. See also "Example of LAN settings with two repeaters" on page 30. You can decide whether to use the Gigaset SE365 WLAN's integrated DHCP server. Depending on the configuration of your network, it may be better to deactivate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN's integrated DHCP server. ì To do this, select Off for the DHCP Server. However, this is only necessary, if ­ another DHCP server is already being used in your network, ­ you are using more than one Gigaset SE365 WLAN in the same network. In this case, please switch off the DHCP server on all other repeaters. Make sure you change the IP addresses of the other Gigaset SE365 WLAN (follow the example on page 30), ­ the IP addresses in your network are static, i. e. you have manually assigned a static IP address to every network component. Please note: u If you use your Gigaset SE365 WLAN in Repeater operating mode and opt for automatic address assignment for the connected PCs, make sure that the DHCP server of your access point has been activated. The devices connected via the Gigaset SE365 WLAN will then use it automatically. u If you use your Gigaset SE365 WLAN in Access point operating mode, it also depends on your existing network whether or not you should use the integrated DHCP server of the Gigaset SE365 WLAN. If there is already a DHCP server in your network, this one should be used. If your network does not have a DHCP server yet, then you can use the DHCP server integrated in your Gigaset SE365 WLAN to assign the IP addresses of the connected devices automatically. ì In this case, select On for the DHCP Server. If you have activated the DHCP server integrated in your Gigaset SE365 WLAN, you should also check the following settings and make any changes that are necessary. ì In the Lease time field, specify how long the PCs should retain their assigned IP addresses before they are changed. ì The First issued IP address and Last issued IP address values define the range of IP addresses that your Gigaset SE365 WLAN should use to automatically assign IP addresses to PCs. 47 Configuring the Advanced Settings Please note: The address block you enter must not overlap with those of other DHCP servers in your network or the static IP addresses of devices connected to your network. This could otherwise cause IP addresses to conflict. This can impair or block the accessibility of some or all of the devices in your network. ì In the Default gateway, Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server fields, enter the data required for connecting to the Internet. As a rule, you can enter the IP address of the router in your network for Default gateway and Preferred DNS server, which sets up the connection to the Internet for all the PCs in the network. Entries in the Alternate DNS server field are generally optional. For additional information, please consult the appropriate chapter in the operating instructions for your router. ì In the Domain name field, you can specify a domain name in the local network. Please note: If you use the Gigaset SE365 WLAN in Access point operating mode and the integrated DHCP server has been activated, configure the network settings for the connected PCs so that the Obtain an IP address automatically option is activated. If you deactivate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN's DHCP server, you will have to assign a static IP address for the PCs via the network settings unless there is another DHCP server on the network. For further information about this please consult the document "Configuring the local network" on the CD.
