Introduction

Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (ADSL port) connection, the Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Ad- dress is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.

Advanced Internet Functions

Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.

Special Applications. This feature, also called Port Triggering, allows you to use Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a fire- wall.

Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you connect.

URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.

Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permit- ted.

Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.

Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.

VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configura- tion is required.

VPN Features

IPSec Support. IPSec is the most common protocol.

Easy Configuration. The configuration required to allow 2 Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Routers to establish a VPN connection between them is easy accom- plished.

Wireless Features

Standards Compliant. The Wireless ADSL2/2+ Modem Router complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.

Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. The 802.11g standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.

Speeds to 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are supported.

WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before trans- mission, providing protection against snoopers.
