LAN Features
• 7 Port Switching Hub. The FBR-1700TX incorporates a 7 port
Switching Hub. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used
simultaneously.

DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol pro-
vides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The
FBR-1700TX can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.
•
Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more seg-
ments are supported, via the FBR-1700TX's built-in static routing table.
If NAT (Network Address Translation) is disabled, the FBR-1700TX will
function as a static router.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN can access the Internet
through the FBR-1700TX, using only a single external IP Address. The
local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This proc-
ess is called NAT (Network Address Translation).

Ethernet port for connecting an ADSL or Cable Modem. All popular
ADSL and Cable Modems are supported.

Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the WAN connection, the FBR-
