Accessing the Internet

The most common use for the Wireless Router is to provide Internet access, so that
everyone on your LAN can surf the web and send/receive email or files.
The Wireless Router automatically acquires the necessary IP address when the
connection to the Internet is established. You don't need to apply for and assign an IP
address to each PC or workstation on your network.

Accessing Servers from the Public Network

If you want special servers to be accessible by remote users across the Internet (e.g.,
an e-mail server, an FTP server, or a web server), you can configure the Wireless
Router to proxy the service from its own address. This means that the remote user can
address the router as if it were the special server and the Wireless Router will re-direct
this connection to the appropriate computer on the network.

Supporting Dial-in Access to Your Network

You can set up your Wireless Router to allow users to connect to your network and
share resources from home or while they're travelling. The Wireless Router built-in
configuration program makes the necessary setup a snap. As a security feature, after a
user calls in, the Wireless Router can hang up and call that user back at a
preconfigured telephone number.
