most secure way to share your high-speed DSL/Cable Internet
connectionoveraWirelessLAN(WLAN). ThisD-Linkrouterallows
you to share a single Internet Connection while providing the safety
and security of port blocking, packet filtering, and a natural firewall.
A built in 802.11b compliant Access Point will boost the signal to
increasetherangeandspeedofyourWLAN. TheDI-711’sintegrated
10/100 Port allows devices that require hard wiring to be connected
without the need for extra equipment.
Delivering two levels of protection, the DI-711 allows users to block
and redirect ports as well as mask local IP Addresses on the Internet.
The masking of local users’IPAddresses from others on the Internet
makes targeting a specific machine on the network much more
difficult. It blocks and redirects specific ports to limit the servers that
outside userscanaccess,whileprovidingthefreedomto openspecific
ports in order to ensure that specific Internet applications and games
will run properly.
D-Link’s DI-711’s integrated IEEE 802.11b compliant Access Point
creates an infrastructure for the network and extends the reach of the
network communications capabilities. The access point will
communicate with other access points on the network to provide
seamless roaming from one cell to another. Strict adherence to the
most advanced IEEE networking standard for wireless connections
makes the DI-711 completely interoperable with multi-vendor
environments that also meet standards compliance for IEEE 802.11b.
For ISP, BSP, DLEC, and Cable Company distribution, the DI-711
can be configured with two levels of administrative control. A
broadband provider can set the number of users, and change IP
configurations remotely. Effectively it creates a separation between
the provider’s and user’s networks to localize the effects of any local
user’s network settings and give the added benefit of NAT support to
simplify the assignment and number of IPaddresseson theprovider’s
network. Remote configuration serves as a platform to increase the
effectiveness of a provider’s customer support, enabling fast and
powerfulremotediagnosis. ThroughtheuseofasingleIPaddress,the
user will additionally benefit from a single subnet, ensuring that as
additional computers are provided with Internet access, they will still
beable tonetwork viaTCP/IPlocally, without needing any additional
local gateways or routers.
