WIRED AND WIRELESS – QUICKLY

10/100 Mbps switch make it quick and easy to deploy wireless and

wired LAN without the extra costs of a wireless access point, hub or
switch. The NB5540’s efficient antenna has a range of up to 150
meters and provides up to 128 bit WEP data encryption for high­level security.

KEEP YOUR OLD WIRELESS EQUIPMENT

If you already use 11Mbps wireless equipment it can still be used
with the NB5540 because the 802.11g standard is backwards
compatible with 802.11b

EASY TO USE

install any drivers on your computer. All you need is a web browser,
such as Internet Explorer, on any computer using any Operating
System and you will be able to configure your connection.

With just one ISP account and a Cable or ADSL modem, you can
allow up to 253 Windows

®, Macintosh or any other Ethernet-

enabled computers safe access to the internet to send and receive
emails, surf the web and so on. The Active Firewall will guard against
several forms of Denial of Service attacks as well as other types of
Hacking by using Stateful Packet Inspection technology (see side
panels for details)

MAKE USING THE INTERNET EASIER

Universal Plug and Play allows Internet applications such as MSN
Messenger

© to operate automatically over your firewall without the

need for extra configuration.

JOIN NETWORKS AND COMPUTERS SECURELY

any existing VPN client applications to continue to work through your
router. Alternatively you can use the five built-in IPsec end points to
join to other office networks.
