Chapter 1 - Introduction
Introducing the FBR-1461
Thank you for purchasing the FBR-1461 Modem Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit
that combines an ADSL2/2+ modem, router and Ethernet network switch to provide
everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over an
ADSL broadband connection.
The FBR-1461 router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and
supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Designed
for small office, home office and residential users, the router enables even faster Internet
connections. You can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications such as
interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever
before.
The FBR-1461 supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM
Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over
Ethernet (RFC 2516) to establish a connection with your ISP. Your new router also supports
VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet
connection, the FBR-1461 allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access
simultaneously.
Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by
outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address
Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming
data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block
internal users from accessing the Internet.
