vDMZ: The IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Gateway can support some special applications and Internet games. With DMZ, one designated computer is removed from behind the built-in firewall and exposed to the Internet. This speeds up Internet gaming and might be required from special applications.

vAccess control (Packet filtering): The IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Gateway can monitor and block specific packets or applications. This function is not the same packet filtering function described for the built-in firewall. The Administrator can set up IP addresses or URLs on the Internet that the local computers are blocked from accessing. For example, if the Administrator does not want users to access IP address 255.255.255.255 or www.urlcom. on the Internet, this function blocks the address.

The Administrator can also set ports to be blocked from local use. For example, if the Administrator does not want users to have ftp access to the Internet, port 21 can be blocked.

vWireless security: As access control mechanisms, the IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Gateway has ESSID for wireless network segmentation, MAC address registration, and wireless equivalency protection (WEP) (64-bit and 128-bit) encryption.

vFirmware upgrade: Using the built in Web-based setup utility, users can update the firmware to the IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Gateway.

vMAC Address Clone: For ISPs needing a specific MAC address, the IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Gateway can be configured to use the expected MAC address.

vVirtual private networks (VPN): The IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Gateway supports the following VPNs:

IP Security (IPSec) passthrough

Point-to-point tunneling protocol (PPTP) passthrough

Point-to-point protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) for DSL

Note: Functions listed above that are not viewable in the built in Web-based setup utility are active and not adjustable.

vStatus light emitting diodes (LEDs): These LEDs provide a quick method to check the status of the Gateway.

vInternet-broadband port: The IBM High Rate Wireless LAN Gateway has an RJ-45 interface for a 10Base-T Ethernet connection to a DSL/Cable modem.

v10BASE-T/100BASE-Tx ports: These ports can automatically detect the connection speed of a link and provide a 10 or 100 Mbps connection to Ethernet devices, based on the detected capabilities. All of the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports automatically detect whether the attached Ethernet cable is wired in standard or crossover configuration. These ports support a maximum length of 100 m (328.1 ft.) over a Category 5 twisted pair cable.

vPower jack: Connect the included external power adapter to the power jack.
