Router Features
The
∙PPP
∙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
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
∙TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The
∙
∙Static Routing – This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will remain in the routing table and never “ age out”. If you wish to define a specific route that will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to a specific destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or outside your network (to a ISP defined default gateway for instance).
∙Default Routing – This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the destination address is unknown. This is particularly useful when if the Router functions as the sole connection to the Internet.
∙ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) – The
∙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
∙High Performance – Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Router. Up to eight Mbps downstream bit rate using the G.dmt.
∙Full Network Management – The
∙Telnet Connection – The Telnet enables a network manager to access the Router’ s management software remotely.
∙Easy Installation – The
