DHCP Support (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows IP addresses to be automatically
and dynamically assigned to hosts on your network.

Networking Compatibility

The DI-304 is compatible with remote access products from other companies such as
Ascend, Cisco, and 3Com. Additionally, Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, and
Windows NT remote access capability are all supported.

Firmware Upgrade (TFTP) Server

Using this server and the Firmware Upgrade Utility software, you may easily upgrade to
the latest firmware whenever enhanced features are added.

Web (HTTP) Server

A Web browser is the most common tool used to surf the Internet. You may use
Microsoft Internet Explorer or any Netscape browser to configure the Router. It's as easy
as surfing a Website.

Virtual TA Server (VTA)

The terminology Virtual TA means the DI-304 can operate as traditional ISDN TA to
transmit and receive data, FAX, and voice transmissions via third-party software running
on a desktop computer. In fact, a virtual TA server works as a network TA to exchange
packets between an ISDN BRI and an Ethernet LAN.
Therefore, desktop computers can use the ISDN line resource via an Ethernet LAN. In
short, multiple users can share a network TA for backward compatibility with traditional
applications, such as BBS, file transfer, sending/receiving FAXes, etc.

Remote Access Server (RAS)

RAS provides remote dial-in access services for home workers, branch offices, or
telecommuters. DI-304 routers offer 10 dial-in user profiles, including an authentication
mechanism through CHAP/PAP and Calling Line Identification (CLID), secure callback
functions, and 16 Lan-to-Lan Dialer Profiles.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Proxy

The DNS proxy maintains a DNS cache, including a mapping table between domain
names and IP addresses. The proxy also remembers DNS query packets sent through the
router and saves them into its own DNS cache. For enhanced speed, when a DNS query
packet enters the router, the proxy searches its local DNS cache. If matched, the router
sends an answer to the host that sent the DNS query packet. Only unmatched DNS
queries require querying a WAN Domain Name Server.
