TW100-BRF114 User’s Guide
Advanced Internet Functions
Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applications, such
as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult
to use when behind a Firewall, is included.
Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections or
port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such
applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability
to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made.
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
LAN Features
4-Port Switching Hub. The TW100-BRF114 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 TW100-BRF114 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 TW100-BRF114 '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 configu-
ration.

LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the
Internet.
UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and confi-
guration of the TW100-BRF114. 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.
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and
even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network,
only a single device - the TW100-BRF114.
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
