The Wireless Router is a small desktop router that sits between your local Ethernet
network and a remote network (e.g., the Internet or a remote office). The Wireless
Router contains an EWAN port connecting to an external ADSL/Cable modem , a
Console/ COM port for connection to a console device(such as a PC COM port ), and
a four-port 10/100Mbps Ethernet switch for connection to PCs on your local network.
The Console/COM port can alsobe used to connect to the Internet(as a back-up such
as when the ADSL/Cable modem line is not operational) or a remote office via an
external ISDN TA or Analog Modem, and even allows a remote user(a tele-commuter
or a traveling sales person) to dial in and access your local network.
Data comes into the Wireless Router from the local LAN and then is "routed" to the
remote network, and vice versa.
