and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this
router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to
this router will be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE):
Provides embedded PPPoE client
function to establish a connection. Users can get greater access speed
without changing the operation concept, sharing the same ISP account
and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required
for local computer. The Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout
(Idle Timer) functions are provided, too.
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) client and server:
In the
WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet
Service Provider (ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server
can allocate a range of client IP addresses and distribute them including
IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers.
It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
RIP1/2 Routing:
Supports RIP1/2 routing protocol for routing
capability.
Web based GUI:
Supports web based GUI for configuration and
management. It is user-friendly and comes with on-line help. It also
supports remote management capability for remote users to configure
and manage this product.
Quick Installation Wizard:
Supports a WEB GUI page to install this
device quickly. With this wizard, end users can enter the information
easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the Internet immediately.
Packet Filtering:
Up to 72 rules.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) e UPnP NAT Traversal:
This
protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-
alone devices and PCs from many different vendors. It makes network
simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and
the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control
and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled,
users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
Virtual Server:
User can specify some services to be visible from
outside users. The router can detect incoming service request and
forward it to the specific local computer to handle it. For example, user
can assign a PC in LAN acting as WEB server inside and expose it to the
outside network. Outside user can browse inside web server directly
while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a
local computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.
