Router Features

The WBMR-G54 ADSL Router utilizes the latest ADSL enhancements to provide a reliable Internet portal suitable for
most small to medium sized offices. WBMR-G54 advantages include:

• PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) Security – The WBMR-G54 ADSL Router supports PAP (Password

Authentication Protocol) and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) for PPP connections.

• DHCP Support – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automatically and dynamically assigns all LAN IP

settings to each host on your network. This eliminates the need to reconfigure every host whenever changes in
network topology occur.

• Network Address Translation (NAT) – For small office environments, the WBMR-G54 allows multiple users on

the LAN to access the Internet concurrently through a single Internet account. This provides Internet access to
everyone in the office for the price of a single user.

NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP address.
NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.

• TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) – The WBMR-G54 supports TCP/IP protocol, the

language used for the Internet. It is compatible with access servers manufactured by major vendors.

• RIP-1/RIP-2 – The WBMR-G54 supports both RIP-1 and RIP-2 exchanges with other routers. Using both versions

lets the Router to communicate with all RIP enabled devices.

• Static Routing – This allows you to select a data path to a particular network destination that will remain in the

routing table and never “age out”. If you wish to define a specific route that will always be used for data traffic
from your LAN to a specific destination within your LAN (for example to another router or a server) or outside
your network (to an ISP defined default gateway for instance).

• Default Routing – This allows you to choose a default path for incoming data packets for which the destination

address is unknown. This is particularly useful when/if the Router functions as the sole connection to the Internet.

• ATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode) – The WBMR-G54 supports Bridged Ethernet over ATM (RFC1483), IP

over ATM (RFC1577) and PPP over ATM (RFC 2364).

• Precise ATM Traffic Shaping – Traffic shaping is a method of controlling the flow rate of ATM data cells. This

function helps to establish the Quality of Service for ATM data transfer.

• High Performance – Very high rates of data transfer are possible with the Router. Up to 8 Mbps downstream bit

rate using the G.dmt standard.

• Full Network Management – The WBMR-G54 incorporates SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)

support for web-based management and text-based network management via an RS-232 or Telnet connection.

• Telnet Connection – The Telnet enables a network manager to access the Router’s management software

remotely.

• Easy Installation – The WBMR-G54 uses a web-based graphical user interface program for convenient

management access and easy set up. Any common web browser software can be used to manage the Router.
