* Connects to 10/100M Broadband (cable or DSL) modem or Ethernet backbone.
* Multiple WAN connection types:
for lease line or router-router interconnect.Static IP
* Equipped with a 4-port 10/100M switched Hub for LAN users.
* DHCP Server/ DNS proxy support
All the networked computers in LAN can retrieve TCP/IP setting (IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS,IP...) automatically from this device.
* Simultaneously act as both DHCP Server on the LAN and a DHCP Client on the WAN for most easy application.
* Connect multiple LAN PCs to the Internet with only one dynamic-assigned IP address (NAT mode) or a range of legal IP address (NAT/Routing mode)
* Web-based Configuring
Configurable through any networked computer's web browser
* Allow/Deny remote administration through WAN connection by Web browser.
* Support Telnet / Console administration from a networked computer in LAN.
* Firewall capability to protect LAN PCs from outside intruder access/attack.
Rejects unwanted packet from WAN and provides a system event log to record intrusion information, (date/time, source IP address & port ...)
* LAN user Access privilege
.Administrator can arrange interior LAN user's access privilege to Internet by IP address, TCP/IP port service, URL name keywords and 24-hour time zone
* Virtual Server (Port forwarding) function
Internet servers (WWW, FTP, E-mail ...) in LAN can be virtually exposed to WAN for outside Internet user access. This is a useful and secure network deployment for Internet servers.
* DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) Host
Administrator can totally expose a host PC in LAN to the Internet without any firewall protection mechanism. This option allows a full two-way communication between the local host PC and remote Internet node. (e.g. bi-directional games, video/audio conferences...)
