Congratulations on your purchase of the Philips ADSL Wireless Base Station,
hereafter referred to as the ‘ADSL Wireless Base Station’. We are proud to provide
you with a powerful yet simple communication device for connecting your local area
network (LAN) to the Internet.
For those who want to surf the Internet in the most secure way, this router provides
a convenient and powerful solution.
About the ADSL Wireless Base Station
The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides Internet access to multiple users by sharing
a single-user account. Support is provided for both wired and wireless devices. New
technology provides wireless security via Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption,
WiFi Protected Access (WPA) encryption and MAC address filtering. It is simple to
configure and can be up and running in minutes.
Features and Benefits
• Internet connection to an ADSL line via an RJ-11 ADSL port
• Local network connection via four 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports
• On-board IEEE 802.11g wireless network adapter
• DHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain name mapping
• Firewall with Stateful Packet Inspection, client privileges, intrusion detection, and
NAT
• NAT also enables multi-user Internet access via a single user account, and virtual
server functionality (providing protected access to Internet services such as web,
FTP, email, and Telnet)
• VPN pass-through (IPSec-ESP Tunnel mode, L2TP, PPTP)
• User-definable application sensing tunnel supports applications requiring multiple
connections
• Easy setup through a web browser on any operating system that supports TCP/IP

Applications
Many advanced networking features are provided by the ADSL Wireless Base Station:
Wireless and Wired LAN
The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps devices, and
wireless IEEE 802.11g compatible devices, making it easy to create a network in small
offices or homes.
Internet Access
This device supports Internet access through an ADSL connection. Since many DSL
providers use PPPoE or PPPoA to establish communications with end users, the
ADSL Wireless Base Station includes built-in clients for these protocols, eliminating
the need to install these services on your computer.
Shared IP Address
The ADSL Wireless Base Station provides Internet access for up to 253 users via a
single shared IP address. Using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network
can browse the web at the same time.
Virtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the ADSL Wireless Base Station to act as a
virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at
your site using a constant IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or
port number), the ADSL Wireless Base Station can route the request to the
appropriate server (at another internal IP address). This secures your network from
direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to
change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.
DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
This function is used when NAT and firewall security prevent an Internet application
from functioning correctly.
