Q
What does the Motorola RSGu3502 Residential Gateway do?
A
The RSGu3502 Residential Gateway is a stand-alone media terminal adapter (S-MTA) containing a home
router:
•
As an S-MTA, it converts analog voice signals to and from a standard telephone to digital data that
can be transmitted through a broadband connection across the Internet. It provides an alternate
means to make voice calls.
•
Its built-in router provides full network connectivity, a firewall, and VPN passthrough.
Q
Will the RSGu3502 Residential Gateway work with a cable modem or DSL modem?
A
Yes. The RSGu3502 Residential Gateway supports DHCP, which is specified for DOCSIS
®
cable
modems, and PPPoE, which is used by most DSL providers.
Q
Can I operate a virtual private network (VPN) application behind the RSGu3502?
A
Yes. The RSGu3502 Residential Gateway supports IPSec and the most common VPN protocols.
Q
Can I play online games through my RSGu3502?
A
By default, the residential gateway blocks all unsolicited messages to the computer or local network as
a standard security measure. However, for online games that require some unsolicited messages to be
transmitted through the residential gateway, you can specify ports and IP addresses on which to allow
unsolicited messages. The RSGu3502 enables you to set up virtual servers or a DMZ.
