DI-1162 Remote Access Router
Link Branch Offices
The DI-1162 routes communications through its two (upgradeable to four) WAN ports allowing direct communications to a branch office via phone lines, the internet or both.
Local Routing
The DI-1162 can route traffic between up to eight local IP networks.
Telecommuting
The DI-1162 allows remote users to dial in and obtain remote access to the LAN. This feature enables users that have workstations with remote access capability, e.g. Windows 95, to dial in using a modem and access the network resources without physically being in the office.
