DI-1162 Remote Access Router
Introduction 5
Link Branch Offices
The DI-1162 routes communications through its two (upgradeable to
four) WAN ports allowing direct communications to a branch office via
phone lines, the internet or both.
Local Routing
The DI-1162 can route traffic between up to eight local IP networks.
Telecommuting
The DI-1162 allows remote users to dial in and obtain remote access to
the LAN. This feature enables users that have workstations with
remote access capability, e.g. Windows 95, to dial in using a modem
and access the network resources without physically being in the office.
What This Manual Doesn’t Cover
This manual assumes that you are familiar with network management
and networking devices, especially routing protocols.
