EWAN
Besides using VDSL to get connected to the Internet, this router offers its Ethernet port 4 as a
WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems and fiber optic lines. This alternative, yet faster
method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online.
Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection
The router supports PPP over Ethernet, DHCP Client and Fixed IP address to establish a
connection with an ISP.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal
This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and
PCs from many different vendors. It makes network simple and affordable for users. UPnP
architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity networking in addition to
control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, you can seamlessly
connect to Net Meeting or MSN Messenger.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
It allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP
address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are supported such
as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and
others.
Firewall
NAT technology supports simple firewalls and provides options for blocking access from the
Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.
Domain Name System (DNS) Relay
It provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as www.yahoo.
com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this router's IP address,
every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will be forwarded to the real DNS
in the outside network.
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This
dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you must first apply
for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/. More than 5 DDNS servers are
supported.
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)
This device provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get
greater access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP
account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local
computer. Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.
