Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 1 - Introduction
Welcome to the world of broadband connectivity to the Internet.
The Multi-Tech Broadband RouteFinder connects a cable modem or DSL modem to an
Ethernet LAN to provide high-speed broadband access to the Internet for up to 253 users.
The Broadband Router features a built-in 4-port 10/100M bps switch, one asynchronous
port for backup Internet access or dial-in remote access, firewall services, and network
security. This product is ideal for any business looking for cost-effective broadband access
to the Internet for every user on the LAN or for the home user looking to share their DSL
cable connection.
Connects up to 253 internal IP addresses to the Internet with broadband speed.
With the RouteFinder, up to 253 users are connected to the Internet with only one IP
account. The WAN Ethernet port has a bandwidth of 10M bps which is 179 times faster
than a 56K modem and can support DSL or cable speeds of up to 4M bps.
Built-in 10/100 Switch. The integrated 4-port 10/100 switch eliminates the need for an
additional hub or switch to connect users not on a LAN. It ensures high-speed transmission
and can serve as a completely dedicated full duplex backbone.
Network Security. The RouteFinder uses the NAT protocol to provide security from
hackers attempting to access the office LAN without the extra cost of a firewall. It
implements firewall and gateway security for LAN-based resources. Additionally, the
RouteFinder supports Internet access restriction by IP address, client protocols or port
number.
Dial Backup or Dial-in RAS Port. The RouteFinder also provides an additional
asynchronous port that, when connected to a dial-up modem or ISDN terminal adapter,
can serve as a backup resource for Internet access if your cable or DSL service goes down.
It can also serve as dial-in remote access for your telecommuters or mobile users.
Virtual Server Support. In addition to providing shared Internet access, the RouteFinder
can support Web, FTP or other Internet servers. Once configured, the RouteFinder accepts
only unsolicited IP packets addressed to the Web, FTP, or other specified servers.
LAN Segmentation. For added LAN security, the RouteFinder can be used to segment
the LAN by connecting the corporate servers to one RouteFinder Ethernet port and the
Internet servers to the other Ethernet port. This configuration puts the corporate servers
behind a firewall and the Internet servers outside the firewall. To continue to provide
Internet access, connect a modem or ISDN terminal adapter to the RouteFinder’s
asynchronous port.

10 BT WAN The WAN port is used to connect the router to a DSL or Cable
modem.
ASYNC The Serial async port connects the router to a standard modem
(optional).
Reset The Reset button is used to reset the router to factory defaults.
10/100 BT LAN The 4-10/100 ports are used to connect the router to LAN client
workstations. If the RF500S is set to use the Uplink feature, the
number 1 LAN port is inactive as a LAN port.
Uplink/Normal Slide the switch to the Uplink position to use the number 1 LAN
10/100 port to expand your network by connecting a network cable
to another router, switch or hub. To connect the number 1port to a
LAN client workstation, slide the switch to the Normal position.
