Model F@st™2864 Router User's Guide

Security Features

• Password-protected Configuration
Password protection prevents unauthorized users from modifying the Router's configuration settings.
• NAT Protection
Network Address Port Translation (NAPT) and a secure firewall to protect your data while your
computer is connected to the Internet.
• Stateful Inspection Firewall
All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thus protecting
your network from malicious attacks from external sources.
• Attack Protection System
Attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid data packets and connection requests, using so
much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Router
incorporates protection against these types of attacks as well as other common hacker attacks.
• Virtual Private Network
Virtual Private Network allows remote users to establish a secure connection to a corporate network
by setting pass-through of the three most commonly used VPN protocols: PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec.
Remote Configuration & Management
• TR-069/TR-098 Remote Management
Standards based TR-069/TR-098 allow the F@st™2864 to be remotely managed by the ISP.
• UPnP Support
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows automatic discovery and configuration of the Sagemcom
Router. UPnP is supported by Windows XP and later operating systems.

Advanced Router Functions

• DMZ
One computer on your local network can be configured to allow unrestricted two-way communication
with servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to run programs that are
incompatible with firewalls.
• Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding provides flexibility by allowing you to change internal IP addresses without affecting
outside access to your network.
