Applications for the DI-1162/DI-1162M

DI-1162/DI-1162M Remote Access Router

♦Two high-speed serial (async/sync) ports for two additional WAN connections.

♦A BRI ISDN module (S/T interface only).

These modules allow you to expand the functionality of the DI-1162/DI-1162M to fulfill all your internetworking needs.

Dial on Demand

The Dial-On-Demand feature allows the DI-1162/DI-1162M to automatically place a call to a remote node, via a WAN, whenever there is traffic coming from any workstation on the LAN to that remote site.

Full Network Management

The DI-1162/DI-1162M incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) agents and a menu-driven Network Management System accessible via an RS-232 (console) or Telnet connection.

Security

The DI-1162/DI-1162M supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol), CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol), Layer 2 and IP Filtering, and the creation of firewalls.

RIP-1/ RIP-2 Routing Protocols

The DI-1162/DI-1162M supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 (Routing Information Protocol versions 1 and 2) exchanges with adjacent routers. These exchanges allow the DI-1162/DI-1162M to send and/or receive routing tables to adjacent routers in order to streamline WAN communications.

DHCP Support

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the DI-1162/DI-1162M router to automatically assign IP addresses to computers as they enter the network. This feature frees the network administrator from assigning and managing IP addresses for each individual machine on the LAN.

Data Compression

The DI-1162/DI-1162M incorporates the hardware-based Stac LZS Data Compression for CCP (Compression Control Protocol).

Network Address Translation (NAT/NAPT)

This feature allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet (through an Internet Service Provider) concurrently through a single IP address. This is especially useful for corporate office environments, where a large number of users need access to the internet, but only a few internet addresses are available.
