PPLICATIONS • User-Definable Application Sensing Tunnel You can define special applications that require multiple connections such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing, and Internet telephony. The Broadband Gateway can then sense the application type and open a multi-port tunnel for it. • DMZ Host Support Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet.
Before installing the Broadband Gateway, verify that you have all the items listed under “Package Contents.” If any of the items are missing or damaged, contact your local distributor. Also be sure that you have all the necessary cabling before installing the Broadband Gateway. After installing the Broadband Gateway, refer to the Web-based configuration program in Chapter 4 for information on configuring the router.
ROADBAND ATEWAY Description of Hardware The Broadband Gateway can be connected to the Internet or to a remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports. Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
