SMC Networks SMCWHSG44-G - Manual (Page 22)

• SNTP - Support for system time by SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol).
• Dynamic DNS - Support for dynamic DNS services provided by dyndns.org
and no-ip.com, so that the SMCWHSG44-G can be associated with a domain
name even if it obtains an IP address dynamically by PPP, PPPoE or DHCP.
• LAN Device Management - The Wireless Hotspot Gateway can pass
management requests from the Internet through its built-in NAT server to
devices on the private network. As a result, network devices (such as
access points) behind the NAT server can be managed from the Internet.
In this way, the Wireless Hotspot Gateway acts as a management proxy for
the LAN devices.
• Firmware Tools
• Firmware upgrade - The firmware can be upgraded, so that more
features can be added in the future.
• TFTP-based - Upgrading firmware by TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).
• HTTP-based - Upgrading firmware by HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).
• Configuration backup. The configuration settings of the SMCWHSG44-G
can be backed up to a file via TFTP or HTTP for restoring later.
• Management
• Web-based Network Manager for configuring and monitoring the
SMCWHSG44-G - The management protocol is HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer
Protocol)-based. The SMCWHSG44-G can be configured to be managed:
• Only from the LAN side
• Both from the LAN side and WAN side
• Only from the WAN side
In addition, it can also be configured to accept management commands only
from specific hosts.
• UPnP - The SMCWHSG44-G responds to UPnP discovery messages so
that a Windows XP user can locate the Wireless Hotspot Gateway in My
Network Places and use a Web browser to configure it.
• SNMP - SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) MIB I, MIB II,
IEEE 802.1d, IEEE 802.1x, Private Enterprise MIB are supported.
• System log - For system operational status monitoring.
• Local log - System events are logged to the on-board RAM of the
Gateway and can be viewed using a Web browser.
• Remote log by SNMP trap - Systems events are sent in the form of
SNMP traps to a remote SNMP management server.
• LAN/WAN Configurable Ethernet Switch Ports - The SMCWHSG44-G provides
a 4-port Ethernet switch so that a stand-alone Ethernet hub/switch is not
necessary for connecting Ethernet client computers to the Router. These
Ethernet ports can be configured as WAN ports for multiple DSL/cable-
based Internet connections support.
• Hardware Watchdog Timer - If the firmware gets stuck in an invalid state,
the hardware watchdog timer will detect this situation and restart the
gateway. Accordingly, the SMCWHSG44-G can provide continuous services.
