tional Settings button.
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.

In the Advanced Settings – Internet menu, select Internet Connection.
ì
Select On to activate PPPoE pass-through.
ì
Click OK to apply the settings.
Using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play)
PCs with
UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) can offer their own network services and automat-
ically use services offered in the network.
As soon as you have installed UPnP in the operating system of a PC and activated it on
the router, applications on this PC (e.g. Microsoft Messenger) can communicate via the
Internet without you needing to expressly authorise it. In this case, the router automat-
ically implements port forwarding (
Port forwarding, see page 67), thereby facilitating
communication via the Internet.
The task bar on the PC on which UPnP is installed contains an icon for the
Gigaset SX763 WLAN dsl. In systems with Windows XP, the icon is also shown under net-
work connections. Click this icon to open the user interface of the Gigaset SX763 WLAN
dsl.
ì
In the Advanced Settings – Internet menu, select Internet Connection.
ì
Click UPnP.
ì
Click OK to apply the settings.
DNS server
DNS is a decentralised service that assigns PC names or Internet addresses ( Domain
names ) and IP addresses to one another. A DNS server has to administer this information
for each server or each LAN with an Internet connection.
Note:
The PC must have Windows ME or Windows XP as its operating system. Check whether
the UPnP function has been installed in the PC's operating system. It may be necessary
to retrospectively install the UPnP components, even on systems with Windows XP or
Windows ME. Please consult your PC's user guide.
Note:
When the UPnP function is active, system applications can assign and use
Ports on
a PC. This poses a security risk.
