LevelOne WBR-3408 Network Router User Manual


 
Introduction
Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be
changed quickly and easily.
LAN Features
4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Broadband router incorporates a 4-port
10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a
dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Broad-
band router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are
supported; via the Wireless Broadband router's RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
support and built-in static routing table.
Configuration & Management
Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for
configuration.
Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration
data from the Wireless Broadband router to your PC, and restore (upload) a pre-
viously-saved configuration file to the Wireless Broadband router.
Remote Management. The Wireless Broadband router can be managed from
any PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally)
be configured via the Internet.
Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless Broadband router to perform
a Ping or DNS lookup.
UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery
and configuration of the Wireless Broadband router. UPnP is by supported by
Windows ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is
provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and
settings.
Wireless LAN Security. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is supported, as well
as Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing
your LAN.
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation)
technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca-
tion and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint,
there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless Broadband router.
Stated Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all
incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious
attacks from external sources.
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood
your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so
much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavail-
able. The Wireless Broadband router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
