Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Router will support?
The Router will support up to 253 IP addresses.
Is IPSec Pass-Through supported by the Router?
Yes, it is a built-in feature that the Router automatically enables.
Where is the Router installed on the network?
In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the cable/DSL modem and the LAN. Plug
the Router into
the cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port.
Does the Router support IPX or AppleTalk?
No. TCP/IP is the only protocol standard for the Internet and has become the global standard for
communications.
IPX, a NetWare communications protocol used only to route messages from one node to another,
and AppleTalk, a
communications protocol used on Apple and Macintosh networks, can be used for LAN to LAN
connections, but
those protocols cannot connect from the Internet to a LAN.
Does the Internet connection of the Router support 100Mbps Ethernet?
The Router’s current hardware design supports up to 100Mbps Ethernet on its Internet port;
however, the Internet
connection speed will vary depending on the speed of your broadband connection. The Router
also supports
100Mbps over the auto-sensing Fast Ethernet 10/100 switch on the LAN side of the Router.
What is Network Address Translation and what is it used for?
Network Address Translation (NAT) translates multiple IP addresses on the private LAN to one
public address that
is sent out to the Internet. This adds a level of security since the address of a PC connected to the
private LAN is
never transmitted on the Internet. Furthermore, NAT allows the Router to be used with low cost
Internet accounts,
such as DSL or cable modems, when only one TCP/IP address is provided by the ISP. The user
may have many
private addresses behind this single address provided by the ISP.
Does the Router support any operating system other than Windows 95, Windows 98SE,
Windows
Millennium, Windows 2000, or Windows XP?
Yes, but Neo-Meridian does not, at this time, provide technical support for setup, configuration or
troubleshooting of
any non-Windows operating systems.
Does the Router support ICQ send file?
Yes, with the following fix: click ICQ menu -> preference -> connections tab->, and check I am
behind a firewall
or proxy. Then set the firewall time-out to 80 seconds in the firewall setting. The Internet user can
then send a file
to a user behind the Router.
