1.2 Product Features
Application Diagram
High Speed Internet Access
This ADSL router complies with ADSL / ADSL2 / ADSL2+ standards. It can support downstream rates of
up to 24Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1Mbps. This ADSL router is compliant with the following standards.
ANSI T1.413 issue 2
ITU-T G.992.1 (G.dmt)
ITU-T G.992.2 (G.lite)
G.994.1 (G.hs, Multimode)
ITU-T G.992.3 (ADSL2 G.dmt.bis)
ITU-T G.992.4 (ADSL2 G.lite.bis)

Setup Wizard
Supports Setup Wizard Web GUI to install this ADSL router easily and quickly.
Multi-connection protocol support
Multi Protocol over AAL5 (RFC1483 / 2684)
Classical IP over ATM (RFC 1577)
VC and LLC Multiplexing
PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516)
PPP over ATM (RFC 2364)
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within
one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known within
another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet).
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play is a standard that uses Internet and Web protocols to enable devices such as
PCs, peripherals, intelligent appliances, and wireless devices to be plugged into a network and automatically
know about each other. This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone
devices and PCs.
Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address, allowing
the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must register for this service
with a Dynamic DNS client.
DHCP Support
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at
start-up from a centralized DHCP server. The ADSL router has built-in DHCP server capability enabled by
default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default gateway and DNS servers to DHCPclients. It can also act as
a surrogate DHCP server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP
server to the clients.
Device Management
Web-based GUI Configuration / Management
Firmware upgrade via Web-based GUI
Built-in Diagnostic tool and IP Ping
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) Support
It’s an easy way to remote control the router via SNMP.

10/100M Auto-negotiation Fast Ethernet switch
This auto-negotiation feature allows the router to detect the speed of incoming transmissions and adjust
appropriately without manual intervention. It allows data transfer of either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps in either
half-duplex or full-duplex mode depending on your Ethernet network.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
Supports OAM F4/F5 loop-back, AIS and RDI OAM cells.
ATM Forum UNI 3.1/4.0 PVC
Support up to 8PVCs.
Bridging / Routing support
Ethernet to ADSL self-learning Transparent Bridging (IEEE 802.1D)
IP routing-RIPv2 (backward compatible with RIPv1)
Static IP routing
Routing (TCP/IP/UDP/ARP/ICMP)
IP Multicast IGMP v1/v2
Security
PPP over PAP (PasswordAuthentication Protocol; RFC1334)
PPP over CHAP (Challenge Authentication Protocol; RFC1994)
VPN (IPsec, PPTP, L2TP) pass through
Built-in NAT Firewall
IP-based Packet filtering
Password Protected System Management
