Internet Sharing
The KX-HGW200 has an interface to the Internet (TO MODEM port). This
interface enables you to connect to the Internet via a cable/xDSL modem
with category 5 straight cable. All users can have an Internet access
simultaneously via a single IP (Internet Protocol) address.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server and Client
DHCP client function
If your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has a DHCP server function, the
KX-HGW200 receives its configuration information automatically from the
ISP.
DHCP server function
The KX-HGW200 can automatically assign a local IP address to each
computer in the home network.
Security
IP Masquerade Function
The KX-HGW200 uses IP masquerade as the default function. This
function translates the local IP address of a computer in the home
network into one global IP address. The IP masquerade function can act
as a firewall for your home network, because the local IP address can
never be known to anyone outside of the home network.
