CHAPTER 1 VoiceFinder AP100 Overview
1.1. Introduction to VoiceFinder AP100
VoiceFinder AP100 VoIP Residential Gateway is a standard Voice over IP
Gateway that allows you to use voice phones, facsimiles, or data
communications by inter-connecting adjacent Local Area Network (LAN) or
connecting LAN to Wide Area Network (WAN) or the broadband Internet such
as ADSL and DOCSIS (Cable).
The figure below shows the example of a network using AP100 VoIP Residential
Gateway:
[Figure 1-1] Standard Configuration of Network Using VoiceFinder AP100 Gateway
Since this product provides the standard routing protocol for static routes and IEEE spanning tree
bridging, it is available on a small routing network.
AP100 can inter-work with commonly used large-sized routers, VoIP gateways, and gatekeepers of
the third party products reliably. Also, this product is the most cost-effective VoIP service solution

since it provides the same operation environment as the plain old AP VoIP gateway series to ensure
very simple installation, operation, and maintenance, and can be used easily at home.
The figure below shows the exterior of AP200 VoIP Gateway:
[Figure 1-2] Exterior of VoiceFinder AP100 VoIP Gateway
The supplementary features are as follows: AP100 supports packet filtering and firewall in an access
list method to control access from a external network by using the source and destination addresses
of a packet in the network layer (IP layer) and transport layer (TCP/UDP).
Also, AP100 uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to assign IP addresses automatically
to network clients below the router, or uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to resolve the
deficiency of IP addresses due to the explosive increase in Internet users and to improve security by
hiding the internal IP address from outside.
