4-Port Switched Ethernet Hub Inside
In addition to providing Internet sharing capability, the XRouter Pro
also functions as an Ethernet hub, offering four 10/100BASE-T
switched RJ-45 ports that allow you to connect a series of computers
to form a small LAN.
Easy Configuration
The XRouter Pro can be configured through a Web browser, and
features Web-based management for a simple, intuitive set up.
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 in your
network to respond to outside Internet requests.
Security
The XRouter Pro provides firewall-like security through NAT
(Network Address Translation) to prevent unauthorized Internet users
from accessing internal files. It can also filter out Internet requests
from certain nodes on a local network for administrative purposes.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
The MIH-130 features NAT (Network Address Translation) as a
means of translating private IP addresses into a global IP address that
is, in turn, registered to the Internet. NAT essentially masks local IP
addresses to the outside world, allowing a group of Internet users to
share a single ISP account (which means you don’t have to buy sepa-
rate accounts for each user).
