Content filtering
The BCM50a Integrated Router can block web features such as ActiveX controls,
Java applets, and cookies, as well as disable web proxies. The BCM50a Integrated
Router can block specific URLs by using the keyword feature. The administrator
can also define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled.
Packet filtering
The packet filtering mechanism blocks unwanted traffic from entering or leaving
your network.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Using the standard TCP/IP protocol, the BCM50a Integrated Router and other
UPnP-enabled devices can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, and
convey its capabilities to other devices on the network.
Call scheduling
Configure call time periods to restrict and allow access for users on remote nodes.
PPPoE
PPPoE facilitates the interaction of a host with an Internet modem to achieve
access to high-speed data networks through a familiar dial-up networking user
interface.
Dynamic DNS support
With Dynamic DNS (Domain Name System) support, you can have a static host
name alias for a dynamic IP address, so the host is more easily accessible from
various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service with a
Dynamic DNS service provider.
