DSL-504T User’s Manual
D-Link Systems, Inc.
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The
DSL-504T
ADSL Router supports
PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake
Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections.
DHCP Support – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and
dynamically assigns all LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates
the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur.
Network Address Translation (NAT) – For small office environments, the
DSL-504T
allows multiple users on the LAN to access the Internet concurrently
through a single Internet account. This provides Internet access to everyone in the
office for the price of a single user.
NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one
global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two
IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.
TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
– The
DSL-504T
supports
TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access
servers manufactured by major vendors.
RIP-1/RIP-2
– The
DSL-504T
supports both RIP1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other
routers. Using both versions allows the Router to communicate with all RIP enabled
devices
Static Routing – This allows you to select a data path to a particular network
destination that will remain in the routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to
define a specific route that will always be used for data traffic from your LAN to a
specific destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or
outside your network (to a ISP defined default gateway for instance).
Default Routing – This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets
for which the destination address is unknown. This is particularly useful when the
Router functions as the sole connection to the Internet.
ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) –
The DSL-504T supports Bridged Ethernet
over ATM (RFC1483), IP over ATM (RFC1577) and PPP over ATM (RFC 2364).
