IP routed network

 

 

Some small businesses need high-speed connections 

 

into the Internet or need to connect to large global 

 

networks used by larger organizations. When 

 

communicating with another OfficeConnect Remote, 

 

the unit uses FastConnect, its own proprietary high 

 

speed protocol. However, in order to connect with 

 

other routers it needs to be configured to use the 

 

slower PPP protocol. PPP is used by many other routers.

 

Increasingly Internet service providers are offering 

 

access to the Internet over ISDN via an ISDN router. 

 

PPP routing over ISDN allows a simple cost-effective 

 

connection to the Internet or into a large 

 

organization’s global network.
