Dynamic DNS Support
With Dynamic DNS support, you can have a static hostname alias for a dynamic IP address,
allowing the host to be more easily accessible from various locations on the Internet. You must
register for this service with a Dynamic DNS service provider.
DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the individual clients (computers) to
obtain the TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. Your device has
built-in DHCP server capability enabled by default. It can assign IP addresses, an IP default
gateway and DNS servers to DHCP clients. Your device can also act as a surrogate DHCP
server (DHCP Relay) where it relays IP address assignment from the actual real DHCP server
to the clients.
Multiple PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuits) Support
Your device supports up to 8 Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVC’s).
IP Alias
IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into logical networks over the same
Ethernet interface. Your device supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical
Ethernet interface with the your device itself as the gateway for each LAN network.
IP Policy Routing (IPPR)
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the router takes the shortest
path to forward a packet. IP Policy Routing (IPPR) provides a mechanism to override the
default routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the
network administrator.
Packet Filters
Your device’s packet filtering function allows added network security and management.
Ease of Installation
Your device is designed for quick, intuitive and easy installation.
Housing
Your device's compact and ventilated housing minimizes space requirements, making it easy
to position anywhere in your busy office.
