Modem Features
The DSL-362T ADSL Modem utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet portal
suitable for most small to medium sized offices. DSL-362T advantages include:
•
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security
–
The DSL-362T ADSL Modem supports PAP (Password
Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections.
•
DHCP Support
–
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns al l 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-362T 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.
