1. Introduction
The PLANET ADSL 2/2+ Router, ADE-3410, provides office and residential users the ideal solution for sharing a high-speed ADSL 2/2+ broadband Internet connection on one Ethernet port and one USB port. It can support downstream transmission rates of up to 24Mbps and upstream transmission rates of up to 3.5Mbps. The product supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (MER, bridged or routed) to establish a connection with ISP. Via the user-friendly management interface, ADE-3410 can be managed by workstations running standard web browsers. Furthermore, ADE-3410 provides DHCP server, NAT, Virtual Server, DMZ, Access Control, IP Filter, PPTP/IPSec/L2TP pass-through, DDNS, and UPnP capability.
The ADE-3410 also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being accessed by outside users. It provides the natural firewall function (Network Address
Translation, NAT). All incoming and outgoing IPs are monitored and filtered. Moreover, it can be configured to block internal users from accessing to the Internet.
1.1 Feature
Internet Access FeaturesShared Internet Access All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the ADE-3410 using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
Built-in ADSL 2/2+ Modem The ADE-3410 provides ADSL 2/2+ modem, and supports all common ADSL connections.
PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct Connection Support Various WAN connections are supported by ADE-3410.
Auto-detection of Internet Connection Method In most situations, the ADE-3410 can test your ADSL and Internet connection to determine the connection method used by your ISP.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the ADE-3410 supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet FunctionsVirtual Servers This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
DMZ Support The ADE-3410 can translate public IP addresses to private IP address to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the most flexibility to run programs, which could be incompatible in NAT environment.
Firewall Supports simple firewall with NAT technology and provides option for access control from Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, HTTP, SNMP, and ICMP services. It also supports MAC and IP filtering.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) UPnP allows automatic discovery and configuration of the Broadband Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
