CHAPTER 1
1.1About the Gateway
The Gateway provides Internet access to multiple users by
sharing a single-user account. The Gateway's most outstand-
ing features include wireless LAN connectivity, as well as
the dual-port WAN interface which allows you to connect to
an xDSL or Cable modem, ISDN TA or PSTN analog
modem. The Gateway provides extensive firewall protection
and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. It also pro-
vides print services for any client attached to a LAN port.
The Gateway supports dial-on-demand for ISDN/PSTN
service, automatically connecting to the Internet when there
are requests, and terminating the connection if no further
requests occur. This dual-port design also supports fail-over
Internet access through the secondary WAN port (i.e., the
serial port can be used for primary or backup Internet
access).
This new Gateway technology provides many cost-effective
functions and management benefits. It is simple to configure
and can be up and running in minutes.
