Functions

The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.

Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the Wireless Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).

DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a 10/100Base-T Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also included.

PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS, and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as “Direct Connection” type services.

Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is included.

Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non- standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.

Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

Multi-DMZ. For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you, one PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.

URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
