• DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless 3-in-1 Companion can act as
a DHCP Server for PCs using the Access Point.
•
Shared LAN/WAN Access. All users on the Wireless LAN can share the IP Address on
the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion's Ethernet port, providing shared access to the LAN or
WAN. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
•
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Ethernet (WAN) port connection, the Wireless
3-in-1 Companion supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connec-
tion) and Fixed IP Address.
•
PPPoE, PPTP Support. On the Ethernet (WAN) port connection supports PPPoE (PPP
over Ethernet) and PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol) login methods if required.
•
Communication Applications. Support for Internet communication applications, such
as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult
to use when behind a Firewall, is included.
• Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
•
DDNS Support. DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows Internet users to connect to Port For-
warding on your LAN using a domain name, even if your IP address is not fixed.
•
DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability
to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.
• VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software
using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
•
Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless 3-in-1 Companion to perform a Ping
or DNS lookup.
•
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incom-
ing server requests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from
external sources.
•
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much band-
width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless 3-in-
1 Companion incorporates protection against DoS attacks.
