Content Filtering; Auto Sensing And Auto Uplink™ Lan Ethernet Connections - NETGEAR RangeMax DG834PN Reference Manual

Reference Manual for the DG834PN RangeMax
• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL
connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login
program such as EnterNet or WinPOET on your computer.
• PPP over ATM (PPPoA)
PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL
connection by simulating an ATM connection.
• Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when
your IP address is not permanently assigned. The ADSL modem wireless router contains a
client that can connect to many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP
address.
• Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility between networking
technologies. UPnP compliant routers provide broadband users at home and small businesses
with a seamless way to participate in online games, video conferencing and other peer-to-peer
services.

Content Filtering

With its content filtering feature, the DG834PN prevents objectionable content from reaching your
PCs. The ADSL modem wireless router allows you to control access to Internet content by
screening for keywords within Web addresses. You can configure the ADSL modem wireless
router to log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites.
Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink™ LAN Ethernet Connections
With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the DG834PN can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard
Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and
capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The ADSL modem wireless router incorporates Auto Uplink
port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a
'normal' connection such as to a computer or an 'uplink' connection such as to a switch or hub.
That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the
need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to
make the right connection.
