LAN to a remote LAN or WAN, instead of providing shared Internet Access.
CNWR-811P Features
The CNWR-811P incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisti-
cated functions while being easy to use.
LAN Features
• Dual LAN ports. The CNWR-811P has two (2) 10/100BaseTX Ethernet LAN ports.
Normally, the “Hub” port is used to connect the CNWR-811P to your LAN. But if desired,
the “PC” port can be used to connect the CNWR-811P directly to your PC, using a stan-
dard LAN cable.
• DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The CNWR-811P can act as a DHCP
Server for devices on your local LAN.
• Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported,
via the CNWR-811P's built-in static routing table. If NAT (Network Address Translation)
is disabled, the CNWR-811P will function as a static router.
