•SNTP - Support for system time by SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol).
•Dynamic DNS - Support for dynamic DNS services provided by dyndns.org and no-ip.com, so that the SMCWHSG44-G can be associated with a domain name even if it obtains an IP address dynamically by PPP, PPPoE or DHCP.
•LAN Device Management - The Wireless Hotspot Gateway can pass management requests from the Internet through its built-in NAT server to devices on the private network. As a result, network devices (such as access points) behind the NAT server can be managed from the Internet. In this way, the Wireless Hotspot Gateway acts as a management proxy for the LAN devices.
•Firmware Tools
•Firmware upgrade - The firmware can be upgraded, so that more features can be added in the future.
•TFTP-based- Upgrading firmware by TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).
•HTTP-based- Upgrading firmware by HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).
•Configuration backup. The configuration settings of the SMCWHSG44-G can be backed up to a file via TFTP or HTTP for restoring later.
•Management
•Web-based Network Manager for configuring and monitoring the SMCWHSG44-G - The management protocol is HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)-based. The SMCWHSG44-G can be configured to be managed:
•Only from the LAN side
•Both from the LAN side and WAN side
•Only from the WAN side
In addition, it can also be configured to accept management commands only from specific hosts.
•UPnP - The SMCWHSG44-G responds to UPnP discovery messages so that a Windows XP user can locate the Wireless Hotspot Gateway in My Network Places and use a Web browser to configure it.
•SNMP - SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) MIB I, MIB II, IEEE 802.1d, IEEE 802.1x, Private Enterprise MIB are supported.
•System log - For system operational status monitoring.
•Local log - System events are logged to the on-board RAM of the Gateway and can be viewed using a Web browser.
•Remote log by SNMP trap - Systems events are sent in the form of SNMP traps to a remote SNMP management server.
•LAN/WAN Configurable Ethernet Switch Ports - The SMCWHSG44-G provides a 4-port Ethernet switch so that a stand-alone Ethernet hub/switch is not necessary for connecting Ethernet client computers to the Router. These Ethernet ports can be configured as WAN ports for multiple DSL/cable- based Internet connections support.
•Hardware Watchdog Timer - If the firmware gets stuck in an invalid state, the hardware watchdog timer will detect this situation and restart the gateway. Accordingly, the SMCWHSG44-G can provide continuous services.
