  • Page 7: Chapter 1 Introduction

    Chapter 1 Introduction This Chapter provides an overview of the WRT-413's features and capabilities. Congratulations on the purchase of your WRT-413. It is a multi-function device providing the following services: • Shared Broadband Internet Access for all users. • 4-Port Switching Hub for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX connections.

  • Page 8: Wireless Features

    • DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The WRT-413 can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN. • Multi Segment LAN Support.

  • Page 9: Package Contents

    An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the WRT-413. •...
