Introduction
The NexIP Internet Sharing Station is the most cost-effective Internet access solution available today for users. With only a single Internet account and a low cost dial-up line, it lets a small network of more than 2 desktop computers to share the vast resource available on the Internet simultaneously. Compare to traditional leased-line router configuration, the Internet Sharing Station is not only easier to use, it reduces ownership and maintenance cost dramatically with its innovative architecture. In dial-up configuration, it connects to remote Internet Service Provider (ISP) network automatically only when local users tried to access remote hosts on the Internet. To further improve performance when multiple users access the Internet at the same time, the Internet Sharing Station provides additional asynchronous ports with dial-on-demand functions. The Internet Sharing Station will dial up additional connections if the primary line is congested, so the Internet access performance can be improved instantly.
