Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the NETGEAR Model RT328 ISDN Router and Model
RH348 ISDN Router and discusses planning considerations for installation.
About the Router
The Model RT328/RH348 router transports data from one local area network (LAN) to another
through a wide area network (WAN) connection.
The router compares the network addresses of data packets sent through the LAN to the entries in
its address tables. If a match is found for a destination network, the router passes the packet to the
path indicated by the entry in the routing table.
The entry in the path list contains the ISDN phone number(s) of the target router. The router sends
the number to the ISDN port for the call to be connected. The WAN path is established, and the
data is sent to the remote unit. At the receiving end, the process operates in the reverse order, from
the ISDN port to the LAN port.
Features
The Model RT328/RH348 router is a flexible, high-performance, easy-to-use router that provides a
cost-effective solution for intelligent networking access across an ISDN line. With minimum
setup, you can install and use the router within minutes to meet a wide variety of networking
requirements.
