INTRODUCING THE ROUTER

 

 

Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com®. In the modern business

 

environment, communication and sharing information is crucial.

 

Computer networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes of

 

communication but, until recently, only large businesses could afford the

 

networking advantage. The OfficeConnect® product range from 3Com

 

has changed all this, bringing networks to the small office.

 

The products that compose the OfficeConnect range give you, the small

 

office user, the same power, flexibility, and protection that has been

 

available only to large corporations. Now, you can network the

 

computers in your office, connect them all to a single Internet outlet, and

 

harness the combined power of all of your computers.

 

 

OfficeConnect

The OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 108Mbps 11g Firewall Router is

ADSL Wireless

designed to provide a cost-effective means of sharing a single

108Mbps 11g

broadband Internet connection amongst several wired and wireless

Firewall Router

computers. The Router also provides internet services with standardized

 

mechanism; namely, NAT and IPSec, etc. Thus, it further prevents

 

anyone outside of your network from seeing your files or damaging your

 

computers. The Router also gives you many administrative features such

 

as scheduled internet access policies, web content filter, and intrusion

 

detections.

 

Figure 1 shows an example network without a Router. In this network,

 

only one computer is connected to the Internet. This computer must

 

always be powered on for the other computers on the network to access

 

the Internet.
