DATA RATE (MBPS) MODULATION
6/9/12/18/24/36/48/54 OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
Packet Filtering
The packet filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering/leaving your network.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the HomeSafe and other UPnP enabled devices can
dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address and convey its capabilities to other devices on
the network.
Call Scheduling
Configure call time periods to restrict and allow access for users on remote nodes.
PPPoE
PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with an Internet modem to achieve access to high-speed
data networks via a familiar "dial-up networking" user interface.
PPTP Encapsulation
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of
data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using a
TCP/IP-based network.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol and virtual private networking over public networks,
such as the Internet. The HomeSafe supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can have a static hostname alias for a
dynamic IP address, allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the
Internet. You must register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
IP Multicast
Deliver IP packets to a specific group of hosts using IP multicast. IGMP (Internet Group
Management Protocol) is the protocol used to support multicast groups. The latest version is
version 2 (see RFC 2236); the HomeSafe supports both versions 1 and 2.
IP Alias
IP Alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same Ethernet
interface. The HomeSafe supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet
LAN interface with the HomeSafe itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
SNMP
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging management
information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your
HomeSafe supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and
monitor the HomeSafe through the network. The HomeSafe supports SNMP version one
(SNMPv1).
