Introduction

•
Remote Management. The Broadband Router can be managed from any PC
on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be con-
figured via the Internet.
•
Network Diagnostics. You can use the Broadband Router to perform a Ping or
DNS lookup.
•
UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and
configuration of the Broadband Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP,
or later.
Security Features
•
Password - protected Configuration . Optional password protection is
provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and
settings.
•
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation)
technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca-
tion and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint,
there is no network, only a single device - the Broadband Router.
•
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all
incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious
attacks from external sources.
•
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood
your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so
much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable.
The Broadband Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
