1.4 4-Port Switched Ethernet Hub Inside
In addition to providing Internet sharing capability, the XRouter Pro also
functions as an Switched Ethernet Hub, which offers four 10/100 Mbps
switched RJ-45 ports that allow you to connect a series of computers to
form a small LAN.
1.5 Easy Configuration
The XRouter Pro can be configured through a Web browser, and it fea-
tures the web-based management for a simple, intuitive set up.
1.6 Virtual Server
Internet users can set up an in-house web server, such as WWW or FTP,
through the XRouter Pro’s Virtual Server mapping function. The Virtual
Server allows you to select a particular computer within the network for
responding to outside Internet requests.
1.7 Security
The XRouter Pro provides firewall-like security through NAT (Network
Address Translation) to prevent unauthorized Internet users from access-
ing internal files. It can also filter out Internet requests from certain nodes
on a local network for administrative purposes.
1.8 NAT (Network Address Translation)
The MIH-130A features NAT (Network Address Translation) as a means of
translating private IP addresses into a global IP address. NAT masks local
IP addresses to the outside world, allowing a group of Internet users to
share a single ISP account. (No separate account is needed for each
users)
