This chapter introduces the internet server, as well as some of the 

technology that underlies it. 

Product Description 

The internet server is designed to provide a single-point access to 

the internet for multiple, networked PCs.  One of the primary fea-

tures of the internet server is that it provides multi-user access to 

the internet through a single user account and one connection.  

More  simply  put,  an  internet  server takes a single internet con-

nection that without it could only be used by one person and 

allows it to be used by multiple stations on the same network si-

multaneously. 

Product Features 

The list below highlights the features and specifications of the 

internet server. 

♦ 

Compatible with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T Ethernet and 

802.3u 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet industry standards for
