everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet

speed Internet connections. User can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia

applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much

Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over

Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with ISP. The

product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband

Internet connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.

This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being

accessed by outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network

Address Translation, NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure user’s

network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. Besides, it can also be

configured to block internal users from accessing to the Internet.

The product provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN users’ IP

addresses which are invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more

difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Secondly, it can block and

redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. For example,

to ensure that games and other Internet applications will run properly, user can open

some specific ports for outside users to access internal services in network.

Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) services, client and server, allow

multiple users to get their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the product.

Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP

address from DHCP server and reboot. Each time local machine is powered up; the

router will recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect it to the LAN.
