Modem Features

The DSL-360T ADSL Modem utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet portal suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DSL-360T advantages include:

•PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The DSL-360T ADSL Modem supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections.

•DHCP Support – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns al LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur.

•Network Address Translation (NAT) – For small office environments, the DSL-360T allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user.

NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.

•TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The DSL-360T supports TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors.

•ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) – The DSL-360T supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM (RFC1483), IP over ATM (RFC1577) and PPP over ATM (RFC 2364).

•Precise ATM Traffic Shaping – Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This function helps to establish the Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.

•G.hs (Auto-handshake) – This allows the Modem to automatically choose either the G.lite or G.dmt ADSL connection standards.

•High Performance – Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Modem. Up to eight Mbps downstream bit rate using the G.dmt.

•Easy Installation – The DSL-360T uses a web-based graphical user interface program for convenient management access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can be used to manage the Modem.
