Fast Ethernet Switch

A 4-port 10/100/1000Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built in with automatic switching between MDI

and MDI-X for 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-TX ports. An Ethernet straight or crossover

cable can be used directly for auto detection.

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection

It supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over

ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a

connection with the ISP. The product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Quick Installation Wizard

It supports a WEB GUI page to install this device quickly. With this wizard, end users can enter the

information easily which they get from their ISP, then surf the Internet immediately.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal

This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs

from many different vendors. It makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP architecture

leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to control and

data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, users can now connect to Net

meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP

address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such as

web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

SOHO Firewall Security with DoS and SPI

Along with the built-in NAT natural firewall feature, the router also provides advanced hacker

pattern-filtering protection. It can automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

The router is built with Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to determine if a data packet is allowed

through the firewall to the private LAN.

Domain Name System (DNS) Relay

It provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as

www.yahoo.com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this router’s IP

address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the

real DNS in the outside network.

Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This

dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply for

an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are

supported.

Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the

router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management

information move through the router ay lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features

are configurable by source IP address, destination IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle

the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through the router, to ensure P2P users

don’t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn’t bring client web serving to a halt. In

addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let

the router sort out the actual speeds.

IPv6 supported

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is a version of the Internet Protocol that is designed to succeed

IPv4.

IPv6 has a vastly larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address,

whereas IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2128 (about 3.4×1038)

addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic and

eliminates the primary need for network address translation (NAT), which gained widespread

deployment as an effort to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion.

IPv6 also implements new features that simplify aspects of address assignment (stateless address

autoconfiguration) and network renumbering (prefix and router announcements) when changing

Internet connectivity providers. The IPv6 subnet size has been standardized by fixing the size of the

host identifier portion of an address to 64 bits to facilitate an automatic mechanism for forming the

host identifier from Link Layer media addressing information (MAC address).

Network security is integrated into the design of the IPv6 architecture. Internet Protocol Security

(IPsec) was originally developed for IPv6, but found widespread optional deployment first in IPv4

(into which it was back-engineered). The IPv6 specifications mandate IPsec implementation as a

fundamental interoperability requirement.

Virtual Server (“port forwarding”)

Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect incoming

service requests and forward either a single port or a range of ports to the specific local computer to

handle it. For example, a user can assign a PC in the LAN acting as a WEB server inside and

expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside web servers directly while it is

protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside

network, Internet.

Rich Packet Filtering

Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based on Port numbers. It will filter packets

from and to the Internet, and also provides a higher level of security control.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server

In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP)

automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP addresses and

distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local computers. It

provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.

Static and RIP1/2 Routing

It has routing capability and supports easy static routing table or RIP1/2 routing protocol.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.

Web based GUI

It supports web based GUI for configuration and management. It is user-friendly and comes with

on-line help. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and

manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable

Device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the WEB based GUI.

Rich Management Interfaces

It supports flexible management interfaces with local console port, LAN port, and WAN port. Users

can use terminal applications through the console port to configure and manage the device, or

Telnet, WEB GUI, and SNMP through LAN or WAN ports to configure and manage the device.
