Internet – configuring the connection to the Internet.
If you have configured the router for your Gigaset CE 460 IP R using the wizard for the basic
settings, then you will also have configured the WAN connection (Internet access). You can
check, change or extend these settings in the Internet menu.
Under Internet you can also find functions for security settings and limiting access to the
Internet as well as for providing your own services on the Internet.
You can use the Internet menu to make the following settings for the Internet:
u check and edit the Internet access data (page 71),
u secure your local network against external hacker attacks and restrict access to Internet
pages for subscribers in the local network (see Firewall, page 74),
u provide your own services on the Internet and restrict access from the Internet to the
local network (see NAT, page 75),
u enter addresses for the DNS server used (page 78),
u define QoS properties (Quality of Service, see page 78), i.e. prioritise the transfer of
VoIP data and thus improve the voice quality for VoIP connections.
Connection – entering access data for the Internet connection
You can use the Connection Web page to set up or change the configuration for your Inter-
net connection. Any settings that you make here must correspond with the information
from your Internet provider. False information can lead to problems with your Internet con-
nection.
The procedure for entering or changing the settings for Internet access is as follows:
¤ Open the following Web page: Router Settings ¢ Internet ¢ Connection.
The settings for the Internet connection that are currently stored in the base station will
be displayed.
¤ First select the WAN connection type from the Connection list. The connection type
depends on what kind of Internet connection you have and the agreements with your
Internet provider. The access data received from your Internet provider for registration
shows you which connection type you must select.
The options are PPPoE, Static IP Address, Dynamic IP Address and PPTP.
¤ Enter the access data required for the connection type (see below).
¤ In the Upstream Rate field, enter the maximum amount of your Internet connection's
bandwidth that should be available for data uploads. First enter the upload stream rate
given by your Internet provider. Carry out tests to check that calls can also be made with
good voice quality at the same time as data is being uploaded and adjust the rate
accordingly (page 78).
¤ Click Set to apply the settings.
