Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Gigaset SE565 Residential Gateway. The SE565 Residential
Gateway is a multi-function device providing the following services:
•
Built-in DSL modem that provides shared Internet access for multiple users.
•
Four-port 10/100 Ethernet Switch for 10Base-T or 100Base-T connections.
•
Custom controls provided through SpeedStream software that allow you to configure the gateway to best
meet your specific security and Internet-sharing needs.
Features of the SE565 Gateway
The SE565 Gateway incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated
functions while being easy to use.
Network (LAN) Features
•
Four-Port 10/100 Ethernet Switch
The gateway incorporates a four-port 10/100 Ethernet switch, making it easy to create or extend your
network. Optionally, you can configure the fourth port as a WAN port for connection to another broadband
device.
•
DHCP Server Support
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) provides a dynamic, upon request, IP address to computers
and other networked devices. Your gateway can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local network.
•
Network Status and Statistics
Using these diagnostic tools, you can easily monitor the status of each network connection and evaluate
network performance.
Security Features
•
Password Protected Configuration
Password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the gateway’s configuration
data and settings.
•
NAT Protection
An intrinsic side affect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all your network
users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each computer is hidden. From
the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device.
•
Stateful Inspection Firewall
All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your
network from malicious attacks from external sources.
•
Attack Protection System
Attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid data packets and connection requests, using so
much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The gateway
incorporates protection against these types of attacks as well as other common hacker attacks.
