Networking compatibility
Your Business Secure Router is compatible with the major ADSL Digital
Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) providers, making configuration
as simple as possible.
Multiplexing
The Business Secure Router supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
Encapsulation
The Business Secure Router supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM
Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM, MAC (Media Access
Control) encapsulated routing (ENET encapsulation) as well as PPP over Ethernet
(RFC 2516).
Four-Port switch
A combination of switch and router makes your Business Secure Router a
cost-effective and viable network solution. You can connect up to four computers
or phones to the Business Secure Router without the cost of a switch. Use a switch
to add more than four computers or phones to your LAN.
