CHAPTER 1
1.1About the Gateway
The Gateway provides Internet access to multiple users by
sharing a single-user account The Gateway's most outstand-
ing features include wireless LAN connectivity, as well as
the dual-port WAN interface which allows you to connect to
an xDSL or Cable modem, ISDN TA or PSTN analog
modem The Gateway provides extensive firewall protection
and Virtual Private Network (VPN) services It also pro-
vides print services for any client attached to a LAN port
The Gateway supports dial-on-demand for ISDN/PSTN
service, automatically connecting to the Internet when there
are requests, and terminating the connection if no further
requests occur This dual-port design also supports fail-over
Internet access through the secondary WAN port (i e , the
serial port can be used for primary or backup Internet
access)
This new Gateway technology provides many cost-effective
functions and management benefits It is simple to configure
and can be up and running in minutes

1.2Features and Benefits
zInternet access via -
10 Mbps WAN port connection to xDSL/Cable modem, or
RS232 console port connection to ISDN/PSTN modem
zLocal Network Connection via -
zThree 10/100 Mbps Ethernet switch ports, or
z11 Mbps wireless interface
zBuilt-in Print Server for any client attached to the LAN
zDHCP for dynamic IP configuration, and DNS for domain
name mapping
zFirewall - client privileges, hacker prevention, NAT
zNAT also enables multi-user access with a single-user
account, and virtual server functionality (providing pro-
tected access to Internet services such as Web, FTP, mail
and Telnet)
zMulti-user access (up to 253), single-user account
zVirtual server with network address translation
zVirtual Private Network support using PPTP, L2TP or
IPSec pass-through
zUser-definable application sensing tunnel supports applica-
tions requiring multiple connections
zSupports CHAP authentication protocol for dial-up identi-
fication
zSupports PPP dial-in connection using standard dial-up
program
zEasy setup through a Web browser on any operating sys-
tem that supports TCP/IP
zCompatible with all popular Internet applications an Built-
in Print Server support

1.3Applications
Many advanced applications are provided by the
Gateway, such as:
zFle ible LAN Access
The Gateway provides connectivity to 10/100 Mbps wired
devices as well as 11 Mbps wireless mobile users The
wireless interface makes it easy to create a network in dif-
ficult-to-wire environments, or to provide quick access to
databases for mobile workers
zInternet Access
This device supports Internet access through an xDSL,
Cable, ISDN or PSTN connection Since many xDSL
providers use PPPoE to establish communications with end
users, the Gateway includes a built-in client for this proto-
col, eliminating the need to install this service on your
computer
zShared IP Address
The Gateway provides Internet access for up to 253 users
with a shared IP address Using only one ISP account, mul-
tiple users on your network can browse the Web at the
same time
zVirtual Server
If you have a fixed IP address, you can set up the Gateway
to act as a virtual host for network address translation
Remote users access various services at your site using a
constant IP address Then, depending on the requested

CHAPTER 1
service (or port number), the Gateway can route the request
to the appropriate server (at another internal IP address)
This secures your network from direct attack by hackers,
and provides more flexible management by allowing you to
change internal IP addresses without affecting outside
access to your network
zUser-Definable Application Sensing Tunnel
You can define special applications that require multiple
connections such as videoconferencing, Internet gaming,
and Internet telephony The Gateway can then sense the
application type and open a multi-port tunnel for it
zDMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the
Internet This function is used when the special application
sensing tunnel feature is insufficient to allow an application
to function correctly
zSecurity
The Gateway supports security features that can deny
Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for
specific services the administrator does not want to serve
The Gateway's firewall can also block common hacker
attacks, including IP Spoofing, Land Attack, Ping of Death,
IP with zero length, Smurf Attack, UDP port loopback,
Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN flooding
zVirtual Private Network
The Gateway supports three of the most commonly used
