IP routed network
Internet or PPP Router
Some small businesses need high-speed connections
into the Internet or need to connect to large global
networks used by larger organizations. When
communicating with another OfficeConnect Remote,
the unit uses FastConnect, its own proprietary high
speed protocol. However, in order to connect with
other routers it needs to be configured to use the
slower PPP protocol. PPP is used by many other routers.
Increasingly Internet service providers are offering
access to the Internet over ISDN via an ISDN router.
PPP routing over ISDN allows a simple cost-effective
connection to the Internet or into a large
organization’s global network.
