About the modem
Your modem offers an easy way of integrating your computer and other network devices
into a single network. Here are some of the benefits you can obtain from using the
modem in your home or office:
Integrated Modem Feature Your modem is an ideal solution for high speed
Internet connectivity. It is capable of handling the fastest data transfer speed from
your Internet provider and sharing this within your local network devices.
Top Notch Security Your modem utilizes built-in firewall security to block service
attacks. For added flexibility, it can be modified to allow specific applications to
pass through while blocking intrusive threats at the same time.
Intuitive User Interface Applying changes on the modem settings can be done
easily using a Web browser. The modem uses a simplified user interface that
allows you to apply the configurations you want for the various features of the
modem.
Your modem will serve as the central figure in establishing your local area network
(LAN) by using a combination of hardware and software. The hardware includes the
cables and Ethernet ports that create the path to connect your devices. The software part
includes the applications that manage the flow of information in these devices.
You can complete the basic installation and Internet connection within 8 minutes. Some
more time is needed if you intend to utilize more advanced functions but it can be worth
it. Advanced features like port forwarding will help you create your own FTP server to
store your files, Dynamic DNS allows you to access your network from the Internet, and
Remote Access enables you to configure your modem settings from different locations.
Once installation is complete, it will be much more easier for you to enjoy voice
communication, high speed Internet, and data/audio/video sharing within your network.
