Content Filtering

Reference Manual for the Model DG834GT 108 Mbps Super Wireless ADSL Router

•Classical IP (RFC 1577)

Some Internet service providers, in Europe for example, use Classical IP in their ADSL services. In such cases, the router is able to use the Classical IP address from the ISP.

•PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

PPPover Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login program such as EnterNet or WinPOET on your computer.

•PPP over ATM (PPPoA)

PPPover ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL connection by simulating an ATM connection.

•Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when your IP address is not permanently assigned. The router contains a client that can connect to many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP address.

•Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility between networking technologies. UPnP compliant routers provide broadband users at home and small businesses with a seamless way to participate in online games, videoconferencing and other peer-to-peer services.

With its content filtering feature, the DG834GT prevents objectionable content from reaching your PCs. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web addresses. You can configure the router to log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites.

Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink™ LAN Ethernet Connections

With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the DG834GT can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
