the IP routing function of the device.
VPN pass-through
VPN technology (VPN=Virtual Private Network) is more and more frequently
in use to protect sensitive data. The LANCOM Wireless DSL base station is able
to route and mask simultaneously the encrypted data between a VPN client of
the WLAN and another workstation of the cable-bound LAN. This “passing-
through” of VPN encrypted data is called in technical jargon “VPN pass-
through”.
The LANCOM Wireless DSL base stations support VPN pass-through
function for multiple stations within a wireless network.
Wireless bridge between two Ethernet segments
With two base stations, two LANs can be connected via a radio link (point-to-
point mode). In this so-called bridge mode, all data is transferred automati-
cally to the remote network.
