DI-304/DI-304M ISDN Remote Router

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a D-Link DI-304 remote access router with
integrated Ethernet switch and ISDN TA. No larger than an ordinary modem, your router
offers inexpensive yet complete telecommunications and internetworking solutions for your
home or branch office. It is ideal for applications such as Internet/intranet access, Wide
Area Networking, Electronic Commerce, and Remote Network Access.
This complete solution also includes remote dial-in user support, an Internet single-user
account (Network Address Translation) option, extensive network management
capabilities, and solid security features.
The DI-304 provides multiple users with efficient and reliable access over a single ISDN
BRI, DSL line, or Cable Modem (Dynamic IP is not supported) service to the Internet
and corporate LAN for using E-mail, sharing documents, Web surfing, file transfers, etc.
Moreover, the provision of a built-in four-port Fast Ethernet Switch and one Uplink port
may give cost-effective workgroup connectivity over Ethernet.
In addition to improving the productivity of employee, flexible telecommuting access, and
affordable management cost, the DI-304 accommodates room
for business growth from 4 computers or more.
The broadband access protocol supports PPPoE, PPTP, and Static IP. These protocols
comply with worldwide Ethernet-based DSL/Cable Modem standards.
For traditional ISDN users, the DI-304 features a built-in Virtual TA (Remote CAPI)
server that operates as a CAPI-based ISDN TA for LAN users. To run FAX
transmission or data transfer services, users need to install a Virtual TA client driver on the
PCs and use third-party CAPI-based software.
The Router provides seamless migration from ISDN to a broadband connection for
multiple SOHO users and easy usage of ISDN for backup-dial and/or remote access
while concurrently using the DSL/Cable modem connection.
PPPoE/PPTP allows users on the LAN interface to setup a dial-on-demand DSL
connection sharing the same IP account, and paying for only one connection. The idle-time
out function prevents wasted connection charges by shutting down the connection when it
is idle. No PPPoE/PPTP client software is required for the computers.

Product Features

The DI-304 router is packed with features that give it the flexibility to provide a complete
networking solution for almost any small to medium-sized office environment.
