Chapter 1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding
Broadband Router. This product is the perfect option to
connect a group of PCs to a high-speed Broadband Internet
connection or to an Ethernet based Backbone (ETTH/ETTB:
Ethernet To The Home/Building). Configurable as a DHCP
server, this product is the only externally recognized server
device on your local area network (LAN). Thus even a
non-technical person will easily configure it to meet the
different application.
This product does not only provide a complete solution to
share the Internet bandwidth, it also serves as an Internet
Firewall to protect your LAN data from being accessed by
outside intruder/hacker (Figure 1-1). Since all incoming data
packets have been analyzed/monitored, all unwanted packet
may be filtered-out and be recorded as an intrusion event.
Broadband Router can also be configured to block some
internal LAN user
access to the Internet for management
purpose.
