What Can the OfficeConnect Remote 812 do?
The Remote 812 is a stand-alone BRouter with data
interfaces to a Local Area Network (LAN) and a Wide Area
Network (WAN).
Below is a representation of how your Remote 812
connects a LAN and WAN.
The Remote 812 contains one ADSL WAN interface port. It
also provides support for ATM.
The Remote 812 supports Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) and
RFC 1483 over the WAN interface.The LAN interface is a
four-port Ethernet 10Base-T hub.
The Remote 812 allows one or more networked
workstations to connect to other computers on a remote
LAN and can also provide high-speed access to the
Internet. The Remote 812 provides static and dynamic
routing of the Internet Protocol (IP) and Internetwork
Packet Exchange (IPX) protocols as well as bridging, with
support for learning bridge and 802.1d spanning tree
functionality to eliminate loops. Other important features
include: Routing Information Protocol (RIP), Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), address
translation, telnet, and packet filtering. It can also provide
DHCP services for your LAN, including automatic
assignment of IP addresses to workstations.
The web browser-based Remote 812 Manager and the IP
Wizard provide a user-friendly configuration interface.
