telephone capabilities.
ADSL provides a dedicated service over a single telephone line operating at
speeds of up to 8 Mbps downstream (to the user) and up to 640 Kbps upstream
depending on local telephone line conditions. These conditions are ideal for many
user applications. A secure point-to-point connection is established between the
user and the central office of the local telephone service provider. The user is
always connected thus eliminating dial-up time and simplifying connectivity
issues.

The DSL-500 ADSL Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements and router
technologies to provide a robust Internet gateway suitable for most small to
medium sized offices.

PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security

The DSL-500 ADSL Router supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol)
and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections.

DHCP Support (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

assigns al LAN IP settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the
need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in network topology occur.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

For small office environments, the DSL-500 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 improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind
one global and visible IP address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link
two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.

TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)

The DSL-500 supports TCP/IP protocol, the language used for the Internet. It is
compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors.
