MUNICH, Germany, Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens Home and Office
Communication Devices (SHC) launched today Siemens Gigaset
FlexConfig, a unique software tool that enables service providers
to configure their Siemens broadband devices according to their
network specifications quickly and easily. Thanks to this
innovative tool -- the only one of its kind on the market today --
any provider can configure their own broadband devices without the
assistance of the manufacturer, saving both time and money. (Logo:

Gigaset FlexConfig software tool is ideally suited to the needs of
service providers who wish to deliver customized broadband devices
to subscribers without having to go through the time-consuming and
costly process of having the device manufacturer create a custom
device for their network or adapt their network to accommodate an
off-the-shelf broadband device. Gigaset FlexConfig enables service
providers to create a device configuration file, which can then be
copied onto an installation CD, branded by the service provider and
sent out to their broadband subscribers with the gateway. The
subscriber installs their broadband device as usual, and enjoys the
service as before. Customized configuration file in five steps
Using the intuitive, user-friendly interface, service providers
create their configuration file for their broadband device with
Gigaset FlexConfig in five simple steps. Step 1: Configure device
to adapt to the network Step 2: Test device on the network to
validate the settings Step 3: Run Gigaset FlexConfig to create an
executable file (.exe file) Step 4: Edit the welcome page; add logo
and personal greeting Step 5: Copy the file to the installation CDs
and distribute With these five steps, service providers can offer
customized devices with configuration elements including the ISP
connection and home network parameters, security settings, gateway
help reporting, as well as color palette and logos to reflect the
respective provider's corporate identity. Compatibility Gigaset
FlexConfig gives service providers a low-cost, rapid solution for
configuring various types of Siemens broadband devices. The
software tool supports the SpeedStream 4100 dsl modem, SpeedStream
4200 USB dsl modem, Gigaset SE565 dsl gateway and the SE567/568
WLAN dsl gateways. Availability FlexConfig is available today
through the service provider channel. Siemens Home and Office
