Wireless Router Features
The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully
designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access
Features
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access
the Internet through the Wireless Router, 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).
DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a
10/100Base-T Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable
Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported.
SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also
included.
PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS, and Telstra Big Pond Support. The
Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over
Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol), SingTel RAS
and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as “Direct Connection”
type services.
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port)
connection, the Wireless Router supports both Dynamic IP
Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP
Address.
Advanced
Internet
Functions
Communication Applications. Support for Internet
communication applications, such as interactive Games,
Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often
difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is included.
Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-
standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by
the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is
provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access
Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
Multi-DMZ. For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you,
one PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted
2-way communication with Servers or individual users on the
Internet. This provides the ability to run programs which are
incompatible with Firewalls.
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web
sites by LAN users.
