Applications
• Local Network Access
The LKR-604 Broadband Router provides connectivit y to 10/100 Mbps wired-Ethernet devices that making it easy to create a network in small
offices or homes
• Internet Access
The LKR-604 supports Broadband Internet access through a CABLE or DSL connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish communications with end users, the LKR-604 includes a built-in client for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on your computer.
• Shared Internet Connection
The LKR-604 shares a single Broadband Internet connection using only one ISP account, multiple users on your network can access the Internet at the same time.
• Virtual Server
If you have a static public IP address, you can set the LKR-604 to act as a virtual host for network address translation. Remote users access various services at your site using a static IP address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), the LKR-604 routes the request to the appropriate server (at a local private IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to change internal private IP addresses without affecting outside access to your network.
.
LKR-604
• DMZ Host Support
Allows a networked computer to be fully exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT or Firewall security prevent the special application feature from functioning correctly.
• Virtual Private Network (VPN)
The LKR-604 supports most commonly used VPN protocols — PPTP and IPSec. These protocols allow remote users to establish a secure VPN connection over the Internet to their corporate network. If your Internet service provider supports PPTP and IPSec protocols, then these protocols can be used to create an authenticated and encrypte d VPN tunnel for passing secure data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network).
Features and Benefits
High-speed data transfer rate Supports NAT (sharing one IP address with all LAN users) Supports PPPoE and PPTP protocol for Dial- Up ADSL Supports DHCP Server / Client Supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) Supports virtual server mapping Supports VPN PPTP and IPSec pass-throug h Supports packet filtering Simple Firewall protection Upgradeable firmware for future functions Easy setup via Web Browser.
