DI-304ISDN Remote Router

Ease of Installation

Your DI-304 is a self-contained unit that is quick and easy to install. Physically, it
resembles an external modem; however, it is a combination ISDN router and Ethernet
switch, and it uses twisted-pair Ethernet cables to connect to the host network.

Built-in Switch

A dual-speed NWay switch, the DI-304 provides four ports for connecting network end
nodes— single-user computers, servers, bridges, other routers, etc.— through standard
"straight-through" twisted-pair cables and one port for making an "uplink" connection to
another hub or switch through the same type of straight-through cable used to connect end
nodes.

ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI)

Using a standard S/T the DI-304 supports DSS1 ISDN switches. The two ISDN B-
channels can be used independently for two destinations, or they can be bundled together
for one high-bandwidth connection supporting bandwidth-on-demand.

Dial On Demand

The Dial On Demand feature allows a DI-304 to automatically place a call to a Remote
Node whenever there is traffic coming from any workstation on the LAN (Local Area
Network) to that remote site.

Bandwidth On Demand

Bandwidth-on-Demand (BOD) for ISDN Interface: As the ISDN BRI interface has two
independent B channels, the BOD mechanism allows you to automatically add/drop a B
channel according to data traffic throughput.

Full Network Management

The DI-304 incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) support and
menu-driven network management via a Telnet connection or an embedded Web
configuration program.

PPP Security

The DI-304 supports PAP (Password Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol).

RIP-1/RIP-2

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) Support: Used in most LAN-to-LAN applications.
The RIP protocol exchanges routing information between routers.
