Introduction
At up to fifteen times the speed of previous wireless devices, you can work faster and
more efficiently, increasing productivity. With the DI-784, bandwidth-intensive applications
like graphics or multimedia will benefit significantly because large files are able to move
across the network quickly. This versatile wireless router also features four times the
number of non-overlapping channels than a device that supports only 802.11g, so more
users can access the network.
Support for all three standards (802.11g; 802.11a; 802.11b) means that you can grow
your network without having to worry about legacy wireless equipment being incompatible
with newer compliant devices from other manufacturers. This also allows network
administrators to partition the usage of the dualband by segmenting users and creating
special access privilege networks for classified document transfer and communications.
With the DI-784 you can securely connect to wireless clients on the network using
802.1x for wireless user authentication, as well as WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access )
providing you a much higher level of security for your data and communications than
has previously been available.
Through its easy-to-use Web-based user interface, the DI-784 lets you control the
information that is accessible to those on the wireless network, whether from the Internet
or from your company’s server:
Content Filtering – Easily applied content filtering based on MAC Address, IP Address,
URL and /or Domain Name.
Filter Scheduling – Filters can be scheduled to be active on certain days or for a
duration of hours or minutes.
Network Address Translation – NAT protects the DI-784 and its users from outside
intruders gaining access to your private network
VPN Multiple/Concurrent Sessions – Supports multiple and concurrent IPSec and
PPTP sessions, so multiple users behind the DI-784 can access corporate networks
through various VPN clients more securely.
