PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE):
Provide embedded PPPoE client function to establish a
connection.
Users can get greater access speed without changing the operation
concept, sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE
client software is required for the local computer. The Always ON, Dial On Demand and
auto disconnection (Idle Timer) functions are provided too.
Virtual Server:
Users can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The
router can detect incoming service request and forward it to the specific local computer
to handle it. For example, users can assign a PC in a LAN acting as a WEB server
inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse an inside web
server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local
computer exposed to the outside network, Internet.
Rich Packet Filtering:
Not only filters the packet based on IP address, but also based
on Port numbers.
Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) client and server:
In the WAN site, the
DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Server Provider (ISP) automatically.
In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate up to 253 client IP addresses and
distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP address to local
computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
Static and RIP1/2 Routing:
Supports an easy static table or RIP1/2 routing protocol to
support routing capability.
SNTP:
An easy way to get the network real time information from an SNTP server.
Web based GUI:

user-friendly with an on-line help, providing necessary information and assist user
timing. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure
and manage this product.
Firmware Upgradeable:
the device can be upgraded to the latest firmware through the
WEB based GUI.
Rich management interfaces:
Supports flexible management interfaces with local
console port, LAN port, and WAN port. Users can use terminal application through
