The Gigaset SE366 WLAN
Features and applications
The Gigaset SE366 WLAN's wide range of features make it ideal for a large number of applications, e.g.:
uInternet access
The Gigaset SE366 WLAN gives several users access to the Internet when a DSL or cable modem is connected.
–As many DSL providers set up Internet access via the PPPoE protocol, the Gigaset SE366 WLAN contains an integrated PPPoE Client, which means you no longer need to set up this service on your PC yourself.
–Shared Internet access
If your Internet provider permits this, the Gigaset SE366 WLAN supports Internet access for up to 252 users. In practice, multiple users in your network can surf the Internet simultaneously using just one Internet access.
uIP TV streaming
The Gigaset SE366 WLAN allows the wireless transmission of IP TV (Internet television) to your IP TV receiver.
Note:
Please be aware, however, that video streaming may be disrupted depending on the following factors:
–Removal of the wireless communication partner
–Building substance (walls, power supply lines and water pipes)
–Other sources of interference (other WLAN devices, Bluetooth, microwave, ...).
uSetting up a local network
The Gigaset SE366 WLAN permits connections
–for four devices via Ethernet ports with a transmission speed of 10 or 100 Mbps (with automatic recognition).
–for up to 32 mobile terminals via a radio interface with a transmission speed of up to 300 Mbps. It complies with the IEEE 802.11n standard (draft, see note below) and can work with all products that satisfy the IEEE 802.11 n, 802.11g or 802.11 b standard.
Note:
Transmission standard IEEE 802.11n is still pending approval, which is likely to be granted in early 2008. Your Gigaset SE366 WLAN hardware is ready to comply with the new transmission standard. You might have to update the software for your device once standard compliant software is available (see page 84).
Using a Gigaset SE366 WLAN makes it easy to set up a network at home or in small offices. For example, users can exchange data or share resources in the network, e.g. a file server or printer.
