 Draft-11n
is the wave of the future in wireless networking.
This exciting technology gives wireless LANs (WLANs)
the speed they need to handle the most bandwidth-hungry
applications in the home, the small office, and
the enterprise.
Almost six times as fast as the 802.11g devices
now common in homes, businesses and hotspots around
the world, draft-11n products work in the same
2.4-GHz band, and are backward-compatible with
both 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. The user's
investment in legacy infrastructure is fully protected
during the move to draft-11n.
Combining a draft-11n access point (AP), ADSL2+
modem, four-port Fast Ethernet switch, analog
telephone adapter (ATA), and multi-function router,
the DNV814 is an integrated access device (IAD)
¡X an all-in-one solution for setting up a high-speed
wired/wireless network, sharing a broadband Internet
connection, and enjoying low-cost voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP) telephone service. Four computers
can be connected directly to the switch, or the
wired network can be extended with hubs or other
switches to include dozens of computers. The draft-11n
AP gives wireless clients blazingly fast access
to the network.
For VoIP service, two analog phones (or other
telephony devices) provisioned with different
numbers can be connected to the foreign exchange
subscriber (FXS) port through an included adapter.
A second included adapter provides separate data
and voice connections from the ADSL2+ port. The
phones are automatically connected to the public
switched telephone network (PSTN) if device power
is lost, ADSL service is interrupted, or the user
dials an emergency services number.
The DNV814's firewall and NAT functions protect
the network from outside intruders. Wireless security
can be ensured by WEP, WPA, or WPA2 authentication
and encryption. MAC and IP address filters provide
further control over access to the network, while
internal users' access to the Internet can also
be filtered. To allow authorized access from the
outside, DMZ host, VPN passthrough, and VPN endpoint
features are available. A host-mode USB 2.0 port
supports attachment of external storage for access
through a built-in HTTP, FTP, or media server.
Setup is carried out using a built-in browser-based
configuration utility that gives the user point-and-click
control of all functions.
With the DNV814 at the center of a home or office
network, all users can enjoy convenient, secure
network access at blistering speeds. With the
savings made possible by the DNV814's VoIP function,
users will also be pleased by the speed with which
the DNV814 pays for itself! |
