Shared IP Address
The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides Internet access for up to
253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account,
multiple users on your network can browse the web at the same time.
Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the ADSL Wireless Base Station
to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access
various services at your site using a constant IP address.Then, depending on
the requested service (or port number), the ADSL Wireless Base Station
can route the request to the appropriate server (at another internal
IP address).This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and
provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal
IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.
DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet
application from functioning correctly.
Security
The ADSL Wireless Base Station supports security features that deny
Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific services
that the administrator does not want to serve.The ADSL Wireless Base
Station's firewall also blocks common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing,
Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port
loopback, Snork Attack,TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding. WEP (Wired
Equivalent Privacy), SSID, and MAC filtering provide security over the
wireless network.
