This product is the perfect option to connect a group of wired or wireless PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet based Backbone (ETTH/ETTB: Ethernet to the Home/Building). Configurable as a DHCP server, this product is the only externally recognized server device on your local area network (LAN). Thus even a non-technical person will easily configure it to meet the different applications. This product does not only provide a complete solution to share the Internet bandwidth, it also serves as an Internet Firewall to protect your LAN data from being accessed by outside intruders/hackers (Figure 1.1). Since all incoming data packets have been analyzed and monitored, all unwanted packets may be filtered-out and be recorded as an intrusion event. The 11Mbps Wireless Access Router can also be configured to block some internal LAN users' access to the Internet for management purposes. Section 1 GigaFast Ethernet Features Fully compatible with IEEE 802.11B (DSSS: Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) wireless LAN standard and interoperable with any 802.11B compliant equipments Wireless interface support 64/128-bit WEP (Wire Equivalent Privacy) encryption Integrated wireless AP (Access Point) and Broadband SOHO router in one unit Connects to 10/100M Broadband (cable or DSL) modem or Ethernet backbone for Internet Surfing Multiple WAN connection type: Static IP DHCP PPPoE PPTP client : for leased line or router-router interconnect : for most cable modem service : for Dial-up ADSL service :for some European Dial-up ADSL or L2-VPN application Equipped with a 4-port 10/100M switched Hub for LAN users DHCP Server/ DNS proxy support (can save an extra PC/Server in LAN) All the networked computers in LAN can retrieve TCP/IP setting (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS...) automatically from this device Simultaneously act as both DHCP Server on the LAN and a DHCP Client on the WAN for most simple applications Connects multiple LAN PCs to the Internet with only one dynamiclyassigned IP address (NAT mode) or a range of legal IP address (NAT/Routing mode) Web-based Configuring Configurable through any networked computer's web browsers using Internet Explorer or Netscape Allow/Deny remote administration through WAN connection by Web browser Supports Telnet/Console administration from a networked computer in LAN Section 1 GigaFast Ethernet Firewall capability to protect LAN PCs from outside intruder access/attack Avoid unwanted packets from the WAN and provides a system event log to record intrusion information. (Date/time, source IP address & port...) LAN user Access Privilege Administrator can arrange interior LAN user's access privilege to the Internet by IP address, TCP/IP port service, URL name keyword, and 24-hour time zone Virtual Server (Port forwarding) function Internet servers (WWW, FTP, E-mail...) in LAN could be virtually exposed to WAN for outside Internet user access. This is a useful and secure network deployment for Internet servers DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) Host Administrator can completely expose a host PC in the LAN to the Internet without any firewall protection mechanism. This option allows a full two-way communication between the local host PC and remote Internet nodes. (ex. bidirectional games, video/audio conferences...) Multi DMZ Host support In static IP configuration with a range of legal IP addresses, the administrator can completely expose several host PCs in the LAN to the Internet according to LAN/WAN IP address mapping Auto 2-way applications Provides an automatic mechanism to support some specific applications which need one or many incoming ports when they connect with application servers in Internet. (Like Microsoft Game Zone, Battle.net...) Dynamic DNS Via www.DynDns.org DNS service provider, your registered domain name can be updated automatically whenever the system's WAN IP is changed Section 2 GigaFast Ethernet Package Contents One 11Mbps Wireless Access Point Router One power adapter One User Manual System Requirements One Ethernet based broadband Internet connection (like cable/ADSL modem or other router) One PC with a NIC card, 802.11b PCMCIA card or USB network adapter, and installed TCP/IP protocol stack.
