DI-304ISDN Remote Router

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) Client Support

Some DSL modems (e.g. Alcatel modems) only provide a PPTP local connection for
an end user computer. The DI-304 has a built-in PPTP client for establishing a DSL
link transport protocol for your entire local network. There is no need to install a
PPTP driver on your computers.

Firewall

In addition to the built-in NAT mechanism, the Router features another powerful
firewall to protect your local network or to deny specified local users access to
unauthorized network services.

Remote Management

The system manager can remotely manage the routers through an ISDN remote dial-
in, ISDN, or DSL WAN interface.

Applications for your DI-304

Some applications for the DI-304 include:

Internet Access

Your DI-304 supports TCP/IP protocol, which is the language used for the Internet.
It is also compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors such as
Cisco and Ascend.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

For small office environments, the DI-304 allows multiple users on the LAN to
access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides
Internet access to everyone in the office for the price of a single user.
NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN
connection.

LAN-to-LAN Enterprise Connections

The DI-304 can dial to or answer calls from another remote access router connected
to a different LAN. The DI-304 supports TCP/IP and has the capability to bridge
any Ethernet protocol.

Remote Dial-In Server

The DI-304 allows Remote Dial-in Users to dial in and gain access to your LAN.
This feature enables users that have workstations with remote access capabilities,
e.g., Windows 98, to dial in using an ISDN terminal adapter (TA) to access the
network resources without physically being in the office.
