Introducing the Diva 2440 ADSL Router

The Eicon® Networks Diva 2440 ADSL Router provides fast access to the Internet via ADSL and is perfect for home users and small office / home office users. It is easy to set up and has many features that will help you get the most out of your ADSL line.

The Diva 2440 can accommodate two users directly via its Ethernet and USB ports (USB can be used with Windows® 98/2000/Me only). You can also connect a hub to the Diva 2440 and share Internet access amongst all users on the network. The Diva 2440’s built-in DHCP server can automatically assign IP addresses to all workstations on your LAN.

The Diva 2440 addresses security concerns via built-in Network Address Translation (NAT) which allows multiple computers to share a single external IP address while making them invisible to the Internet.

The Diva 2440 also features a pass-through telephone port with built-in microfilter.

The following provides a brief overview of the many features of the Diva 2440.

General Features

•Easy to Set Up: Installation is a simple and straightforward procedure. You will be up and running in just a few minutes.

•Web-base Configuration: The Diva 2440 is configured via a web browser. Settings are organized in logical groups, and making changes is quick and easy.

•Command Line Interface: All settings can also be configured using a command line interface (Telnet application required).

ADSL and Network Features

•Support for Full-rate and G.Lite ADSL: The Diva 2440 is an ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) device supporting transfer of up to 8 Mbps. Two popular versions of ADSL are built in to the Diva 2440, Full-rate and G.Lite.

•DHCP Support: The Diva 2440 can act as a DHCP server for your LAN. This lets you avoid having to assign specific IP addresses to the computers on your network.

Hardware Features

•USB and Ethernet Ports: The Diva 2440 can connect to your computer through both the Ethernet and USB ports (USB is Windows 98/2000/Me only). Setup via either port is simple and easy. You can also connect the Diva 2440 to an Ethernet hub, giving all computers on the network access to the Internet.

•Simultaneous Port Usage: The USB and Ethernet ports can be used simultaneously. You can connect one computer to the Ethernet port and another to the USB port, and both devices can access the ADSL line when needed or exchange data between the two local computers. See Connection Scenarios on page 8 for more information.

•Upgradable Firmware: The Diva 2440’s firmware (a set of software instructions that tells the device how to operate) is stored in flash memory on the device. This makes it easy to upgrade the firmware should it become necessary to do so.
