Key Features On-board IXP-422 266MHz processor High-speed routing achieved via Intel's high performance network processor IXP422-266MHz Hardware-based VPN Functionality The product supports IPSec, PPTP Server and PPTP client features. The router achieves high-speed VPN approaching approximately 42Mbps when IPSec (3DES) is in use. Built-in USB Port The on-board USB port enables system extensibility as it supports option USB camera and USB storage.
Page 12 LAN side IP address The LAN side IP address of the product is 192.168.1.1, and it can be manually adjusted to another address which best suits your networking environment. NAPT Multiple private addresses are converted to one global address. This feature allows multiple PC's on the LAN side to easily connect to the Internet.
Page 13 Security Level The 3-level security system of the product allows you to easily set up security function. The configuration can be customized as needed to let you flexibly configure LAN-to-Internet as well as Internet-to-LAN security settings. Packet Filtering The packet filtering function of the router blocks or allows passage of packets sent/received by the product in accordance with predefined rules.
