• Windows peer-to-peer printing over TCP/IP, using the supplied port driver.
• Windows LPD printing, using a Windows Server running NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
Server. In this situation, no software needs to be installed on the client PCs.
• Unix LPD printing. No additional software needs to be installed.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for configuration.
• Remote Management. The LevelOne Broadband Router can be managed from any PC
on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured
via the Internet.
• UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the LevelOne Broadband Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP,
or later.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration . Optional password protection is provided to
prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
• NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even
the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a
single device - the LevelOne Broadband Router.
• Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
• Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much band-
width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The LevelOne
Broadband Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
