Product Features
The DSL-1500G SHDSL Router utilizes the latest DSL enhancements and router technologies to provide a
robust Internet gateway suitable for most small to medium sized networks.
VPN Support
The DSL-1500G SHDSL supports VPN Pass Through for L2TP, PPTP and IP Sec.
Firewall Protection
Tailored firewall security features include packet filtering for protocol and IP address and port redirection.
DHCP Support (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically and dynamically assigns al LAN IP settings to
each host on your network. This eliminates the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network
topology occur.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
For small and medium office networks, the DSL-1500G allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet
concurrently through a single IP address. This provides Internet access to every workstation using a single
Internet account.
NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address.
NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection for remote LAN
implementations.
Static Routing
This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will remain in the routing table and
never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific route that will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to
a specific destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or outside your network (to a
ISP defined default gateway for instance).
Multiple Encapsulation Support
The DSL-1500G supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM (RFC2684), IP over ATM (RFC1577) and PPP over ATM
(RFC 2364).
Precise ATM Traffic Shaping
Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This function helps to establish the
Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.
High Performance
Very high symmetric data transfer rates of up to 2.3 Mbps Upstream/Downstream over standard single twisted-
pair telephone cable. Up to 4.6 Mbps Upstream/Downstream is possible for double twisted-pair installations.
Full Network Management
The DSL-1500G incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support for web-based
management and text-based network management via an RS-232 or Telnet connection. Enable Telnet for remote
text-based management access to the Router. Management through the WAN port can be enabled for access
from outside the LAN.
Easy Installation
The DSL-1500G uses a web-based graphical user interface program for convenient management access and easy
set up. Any common web browser software can be used to manage the Router
