1.1About the Gateway
The Gateway provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing a single-user account. The Gateway's most outstand- ing features include wireless LAN connectivity, as well as the dual-port WAN interface which allows you to connect to an xDSL or Cable modem, ISDN TA or PSTN analog modem. The Gateway provides extensive firewall protection and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services. It also pro- vides print services for any client attached to a LAN port.
The Gateway supports dial-on-demand for ISDN/PSTN service, automatically connecting to the Internet when there are requests, and terminating the connection if no further requests occur. This dual-port design also supports fail-over Internet access through the secondary WAN port (i.e., the serial port can be used for primary or backup Internet access).
This new Gateway technology provides many cost-effective functions and management benefits. It is simple to configure and can be up and running in minutes.
