1.4 Applications for the Device

Here are some example uses for which the Device is well suited.

1.4.1 Internet Access

Your Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM
jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL or
VDSL. The Device cannot work in ADSL and VDSL mode at the same time.
Note: The ADSL and VDSL lines share the same WAN (layer-2) interfaces that you
configure in the Device. Refer to
> Broadband screen.
Computers can connect to the Device's LAN ports (or wirelessly).

You can also configure IP filtering on the Device for secure Internet access. When the IP filter is on,
all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked by default unless it is initiated from
your network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you
can safely browse the Internet and download files.

1.4.2 Device's USB Support

The USB port of the Device is used for file-sharing, media server and printer-sharing.
