xDSL/Cable SOHO Router
XRT-401
Congratulations on the purchase of your new XRT-401, the Internet Access Server. The Internet Access Server will allow multiple LAN users to share an Internet user account, via an ADSL or Cable modem. Once the Internet Access Server is installed and configured, the Internet is just a click away.
Alternatively, the Internet Access Server can be used to connect your local LAN to a remote LAN or WAN, via the Internet Access Server's WAN port.
The Internet Access Server incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provided sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Ethernet ports |
The Internet Access Server has 6 Ethernet ports. Five (the LAN port, including one UPLINK port) are used to connect to your local LAN. The other (the WAN port) is used to connect to an external LAN, WAN or the Internet. (Internet access requires an ADSL or Cable modem.) |
DHCP Server Support |
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Internet Access Server can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN. |
PPPoE Support |
On the WAN port, the Internet Access Server can act as a PPP Client. This allows the use of dynamic IP Addresses on the "External LAN" or WAN from your ISP (Internet Service Provider). |
Multi Segment LAN Support |
LANs containing one or more segments are supported, via the Internet Access Server's built-in static routing table. If NAT (Network Address Translation) is disabled, the Internet Access Server will function as a static router. |
Shared Internet Access |
All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the Internet Access Server, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation). |
Access Control Feature |
The Administrator can set restrictions on the Internet Access enjoyed by individual workstations. |
ADSL & Cable Modem Support |
The Internet Access Server has a 10Base-T Ethernet port for connecting an ADSL or Cable Modem. All popular ADSL and Cable Modems are supported |
PPPoE Support |
Connect to your ISP using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), if your ISP uses this method. |
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address |
On the WAN connection, the Internet Access Server supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address |
Easy Setup |
Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN for configuration. |
Remote Management |
The Internet Access Server can be managed from a workstation anywhere on the LAN, using a WEB browser. |
Virtual Servers |
This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy. |
DMZ |
One (1) PC on your local LAN can be exposed to the Internet. This allows unrestricted 2-way communication between this PC and servers or users on the Internet. |
Configuration Data |
Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration |
Access Control Features |
The LAN Administrator can limit Internet and E-Mail access by individual workstations. |
Firewall Protection |
All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources. (This protection is lost if NAT is disabled.) |
Firewall Protection The firewall protection provided by the Internet Access Server is an intrinsic side effect of IP sharing. All users on the LAN share a single external IP address. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device. For internal users, the Internet Access Server acts as a "transparent proxy server", translating the multiple internal IP addresses into a single external IP address. For external requests, any attempt to connect to local resources are blocked. The Internet Access Server will not "reverse translate" from a global IP address to a local IP address. This type of "Natural" firewall provides an impregnable barrier against malicious attacks. |
