Shared Internet Access.
All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the

dresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address
Translation).

The Broadband Router has a 10BaseT Ethernet port
for connecting an ADSL or Cable Modem. All popular ADSL and Cable Modems are sup-
ported.
•
PPPoE Support.
Connect to your ISP using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), if your ISP
