Assigning Passthrough Addresses {Passthrough Addresses}
The Access Gateway allows up to 300 IP passthrough addresses and DNS names. This feature allows users to
“pass through” the Access Gateway and access predetermined services (for example, the redirected home
page) at the solution provider’s discretion, even though they may not have subscribed to the broadband Internet
service. This is useful if solution providers want to openly promote selected services to all users, even if they
are not currently subscribing (paying) for access. Allowing up to 300 passthroughs (IP and DNS) offers
customers greater promotional flexibility.
