Data Compression

The DI-308 incorporates Stac data compression and CCP (Compression Control Protocol).

Networking Compatibility

The DI-308 is compatible with remote access products from other companies such as Ascend, Cisco, and 3Com. Furthermore, they support Microsoft Windows 95 and Windows NT remote access capability.

Applications for your DI-308

Some applications for the DI-308 include:

Internet Access

Your DI-308 supports TCP/IP protocol, which is the language used for the Internet. It is also compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors such as Cisco and Ascend.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

For small office environments, the DI-308 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 address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.

LAN-to-LAN Enterprise Connections

The DI-308 can dial to or answer calls from another remote access router connected to a different LAN. The DI-308 supports TCP/IP and has the capability to bridge any Ethernet protocol.

Telecommuting Server

The DI-308 allows Remote Dial-in Users to dial in and gain access to your LAN. This feature enables users that have workstations with remote access capabilities, e.g., Windows 95, to dial in using an ISDN terminal adapter (TA) to access the network resources without physically being in the office.
