BLW-HPMM-U

œShared Internet AccessĈAll users on the LAN or WLAN can access

the Internet through the Wireless Router, using only a single external

IP Address. The local (invalid) IP A ddresses are hidden from external

sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).

œDSL & Cable Modem SupportĈThe Wireless Router has a

10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All

popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported.

PPPoE are also supported.

œDynamic IP AddressĈOn the Internet (WAN port) connection, the

Wireless Router support Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on

connection).

ƖConfiguration & Management

œEasy SetupĈUse your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or

WLAN for configuration.

œRemote ManagementĈThe Wireless Router can be managed from

any PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also

(optionally) be configured via the Internet.

œNetwork DiagnosticsĈYou can use the Wireless Router to perform a

Ping.

œUPnP SupportĈUPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic

discovery and configuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is by

supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.

ƖWireless Features

œStandards CompliantĈThe Wireless Router complies with the

IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.

œSupport IEEE 802.11g Wireless StationsĈThe IEEE 802.11g standard

to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.

œSimple ConfigurationĈIf the default settings are unsuitable, they can

be changed quickly and easily.

ƖAdvanced Functions

œCommunication ApplicationsĈSupport for Internet communication

applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing

applications, which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is

included.

œSpecial Internet ApplicationsĈApplications which use non-standard

connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The

ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such

applications to be used normally.

œDDNS SupportĈDDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows Internet users to

connect to Virtual Servers on your LAN using a domain name, even if

your IP address is not fixed.

BLW-HPMM-U

œWireless LAN SecurityĈWEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) and WPA-

PSK are supported, as well as Wireless access control to prevent

unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.

œNAT ProtectionĈAn intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address

Tr anslation) technology is that by allowing all LAN 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 Wireless Router.

œProtection against DoS attacksĈDoS (Denial of Service) attacks

can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection

requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that

Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless Router incorporates

protection against DoS attacks.
