FAQ

What is DMZ?

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), a barrier between the Internet and a company's Intranet. It is a
subnet that contains a firewall and proxy server (which can be in separate servers or in one
server). The firewall connects to an external firewall on the Internet side, which may be at the
ISP's location and is often called a "boundary router". The double firewall architecture adds an
extra measure of security for the Intranet.

What is PPPoE (PPP Over Ethernet)?

PPPoE is known as a dial-up DSL service. It is designed to integrate the broadband services
into the current widely deployed, easy-to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access networking
infrastructure. Thus, customer can get greater access speed without changing the operation
concept.
How can I know I am using PPPoE or not?
PPPoE client software is provided by our ISP and should be installed onto your computer first.
You run the program to connect/disconnect to the Internet. User Account information (User
Name and Password) is also required each time you connect to the Internet access.
Note: After you have entered the PPPoE information during the device setup, the device will
provide your Internet Service the PPPoE information and login automatically. It is not
necessary to install and run the PPPoE software on the computers and you can just uninstall
the PPPoE software from your computers.
