unknown. This is particularly useful when if the WA1003A-RU

functions as the sole connection to the Internet.

•

ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) –

The WA1003A-RU

supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM

(RFC1483), IP over ATM

(RFC1577) and PPP over ATM

(RFC 2364)

•

Precise ATM Traffic Shaping –

Traffic shaping is a method of

controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This function helps to

establish the Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.

•

G.hs (Auto-handshake) –

This allows the WA1003A-RU to

automatically choose either the G.lite or G.dmt ADSL connection

standards.

•

High Performance –

Very high rates of data transfer are possible

with the WA1003A-RU. Up to eight Mbps downstream bit rate

using the G.dmt.

•

Full Network Management –

The WA1003A-RU incorporates

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support for

web-based management and text-based network management

via an RS-232 or Telnet connection.

•

Telnet Connection –

The Telnet enables a network manager to

access the WA1003A-RU’s management software remotely.

•

Easy Installation

–

The WA1003A-RU uses a web-based

graphical user interface program for convenient management

access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can

be used to manage the WA1003A-RU.
