INTRODUCING THE ROUTER
Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com®. In the modern
business environment, communication and sharing information is crucial.
Computer networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes of
communication but, until recently, only large businesses could afford the
networking advantage. The OfficeConnect® product range from 3Com
has changed all this, bringing networks to the small office.
The products that compose the OfficeConnect range give you, the small
office user, the same power, flexibility, and protection that has been
available only to large corporations. Now, you can network the
computers in your office, connect them all to a single Internet outlet, and
harness the combined power of all of your computers.
OfficeConnect ADSL
Wireless 108Mbps
11g Firewall Router
The OfficeConnect ADSL Wireless 108Mbps 11g Firewall Router is
designed to provide a cost-effective means of sharing a single broadband
Internet connection amongst several wired and wireless computers. The
Router also provides protection in the form of an electronic “firewall”,
preventing anyone outside of your network from seeing your files or
damaging your computers.
The Router also gives you many administrative
features such as scheduled internet access policies, web content filter, and
intrusion detections.
Figure 1 shows an example network without a Router. In this network,
only one computer is connected to the Internet. This computer must
always be powered on for the other computers on the network to access
the Internet.
