PPPoE pass-through
If you activate the
PPPoE pass-through
function, a PC in the network can connect to the
Internet via its own connection ID. The router puts this connection through.
Setting up DNS servers
DNS (Domain Name System) is a decentralised database on the Internet which allocates
clearly understandable Internet names (domains) to the actual addresses of PCs and
services (e.g. IP addresses). The DNS servers required for access to this database are nor-
mally provided by your provider and do not have to be set up specially. But if necessary
you can change them here.
ì
Open the
Advanced Settings
tab and on the
Internet
menu select
DNS Servers
.
ì
Activate the
Use custom DNS servers
function and enter the IP addresses for your
Preferred DNS server
and the
Alternate DNS server
.
Enabling or disabling the firewall
Your Gigaset SX682 WiMAX comes with an integrated firewall, which protects your
device and network against unauthorised access from the Internet. If the firewall is ena-
bled, your device can identify certain events, e.g. suspicious incoming data packets
from the Internet, as attacks and avert them (hacker defence). Your device’s firewall is
enabled by default.
If you still want to disable the firewall:
ì
Open the
Advanced Settings
tab and on the
Internet
menu select
Firewall
.
ì
Disable the firewall.
Connect on demand
The Internet connection is only established if an application, e.g. an Internet
browser or an e-mail program, requests it.
W
We urgently recommend that you leave the firewall of your Gigaset
SX682 WiMAX enabled, otherwise your network will no longer be pro-
tected against hacker attacks from the Internet.
i
This function is not available in
Bridge
operating mode, see "Configuring
Internet access" on page 35.
PCs in your network should be protected by a separate firewall. You can
set up protection against DoS (Denial of Service) attacks in Bridge mode
via the local network configuration, see "LAN configuration" on page 39.
