Advanced Internet Functions
Communication Applications.
Support for Internet communication applica-
tions, 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 connec-
tions 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.
DDNS Support.
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows Internet users to connect to
Virtual Servers on your LAN using a domain name, even if your IP address is not
fixed.
Multi-DMZ.
For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you, 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 pro-
grams 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.
Access Control.
Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users
to different groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each
group.
VPN Pass through Support.
PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking)
software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configura-
tion is required.
Wireless Features
Standards Compliant.
The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11g
(DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.
Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.
The 802.11g
standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both
802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously.
Speeds to 54Mbps.
All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are
supported.
WEP support.
Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key
sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported.
WPA support.
Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP,
and should be used if possible.
WPA2 support.
Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely
secure AES encryption method.
Wireless MAC Access Control.
The Wireless Access Control feature can
check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that
only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.
Simple Configuration.
If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be
changed quickly and easily.
WDS Support
. Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wire-
less Access Point to act as a Wireless Bridge. Both Point-to-Point and Multi-Point
Bridge modes are supported.
