Internet Sharing

The KX-HGW200 has an interface to the Internet (TO MODEM port). This interface enables you to connect to the Internet via a cable/xDSL modem with category 5 straight cable. All users can have an Internet access simultaneously via a single IP (Internet Protocol) address.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol) Server and Client

DHCP client function

³If your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has a DHCP server function, the KX-HGW200 receives its conﬁguration information automatically from the ISP.

DHCP server function

³The KX-HGW200 can automatically assign a local IP address to each computer in the home network.

Security

IP Masquerade Function

³The KX-HGW200 uses IP masquerade as the default function. This function translates the local IP address of a computer in the home network into one global IP address. The IP masquerade function can act as a ﬁrewall for your home network, because the local IP address can never be known to anyone outside of the home network.
