AirLive WL-1600GL - Manual (Page 9)

Introduction
•
WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wire-
less Access Point, or entering a 8-digit PIN code if there's no button.
LAN Features
•
4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switch-
ing hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
•
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP
Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
•
Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported,
via the Wireless Router's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support and built-in static
routing table.
Configuration & Management
•
Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configu-
ration.
•
Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from
the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file
to the Wireless Router.
•
Remote Management. The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC on your
LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the
Internet.
•
Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless Router to perform a Ping or DNS
lookup.
•
UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the Wireless 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.
•
Wireless LAN Security . WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported, as well as
Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
•
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and
even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network,
only a single device - the Wireless Router.
•
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing 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 band-
width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless
Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
