Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a D-Link DI-206 series remote access router
with integrated Ethernet hub and ISDN T/A. 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 everything from Internet
browsing to receiving calls from Remote Dial-in Users and making connections to
other LANs via Remote Nodes.
Distinguishing features of the DI-206 include support for a full range of networking
protocols, including TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, also
known as IP).
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.
Product Features
The DI-206 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.
Ease of Installation
Your DI-206 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 10
Mbps Ethernet hub, and it uses twisted-pair Ethernet cables to connect to the host
network.
Built-in Hub
As a 10 Mbps Ethernet hub, your DI-206 provides six ports for connecting standard
Ethernet devices. Five ports are designed for connecting network end nodes—single-
user computers, servers, bridges, other routers, etc.—through standard "straight-
through" twisted-pair cables; the sixth is wired 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-206 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.
