Netopia 4753 manual How to Use This Guide

1-2 Administration Guide

An IAD combines the voice telephony features of a telephone PBX system with the data routing features of an IP data router. The device uses a single outside line connection to carry all voice and data transmissions. If the device uses a DSL interface, it can carry all of these services over a single existing copper telephone line by using the different frequency ranges available on the copper wire for voice and data traffic.

The Netopia 4753 G.SHDSL Integrated Access Device is that device: a Centrex-based PBX system combined with an SHDSL internet router.

The Netopia 4753 G.SHDSL Integrated Access Device provides the following features:

Support for ordinary analog phone equipment. Works with the same FXS analog phone sets and key systems that small businesses use today. No expensive handsets to order, no new interface to learn.

Centrex support. Advanced telephone features enabled by your service provider's telephone switch such as call forwarding or conferencing operate exactly as they did before.

Netopia data routing engine. Provides the same advanced, business-class data routing features used by leading DSL service providers around the world. Includes advanced data functionality such as firewall, VPN client and server (including PPTP and IPSec), DHCP automated address assignment, and Network Address Translation (NAT and MultiNAT).

Physical features include:

■G.SHDSL WAN Interface interoperable with major ATM- and Frame Relay-based DSL equipment.

■A 10/100 Ethernet LAN Port.

■Eight analog telephone ports (local extensions).

■One DB-9 serial console port.

■Front panel status lights.
