Welcome to the world of networking with 3Com
business environment, communication and sharing information is crucial.
Computer networks have proved to be one of the fastest modes of
communication but, until recently, only large businesses could afford the
networking advantage. The OfficeConnect
has changed all this, bringing networks to the small office.
The products that compose the OfficeConnect range give you, the small
office user, the same power, flexibility, and protection that has been
available only to large corporations. Now, you can network the
computers in your office, connect them all to a single Internet outlet, and
harness the combined power of all of your computers.
The OfficeConnect Wireless 11g Cable/DSL Gateway is designed to
provide a cost-effective means of sharing a single broadband Internet
connection amongst several wired and wireless computers. The Gateway
also provides protection in the form of an electronic "firewall" preventing
anyone outside of your network from seeing your files or damaging your
computers. The Gateway can also prevent your users from accessing Web
sites which you find unsuitable.
Figure 1
shows an example network without a Gateway. In this network,
only one computer is connected to the Internet. This computer must
always be powered on for the other computers on the network to access
the Internet.
