Description of Capabilities

–  22  –

◆

Easy setup through a Web browser on any operating system that 

supports TCP/IP.

◆

Compatible with all popular Internet applications.

In addition, the Gateway Router offers full network management 

capabilities through an easy-to-configure web interface.

Many advanced networking features are provided by the Barricade:

◆

Wired LAN — The Barricade provides connectivity to wired 

10/100 Mbps devices, making it easy to create a network in small 

offices or homes.

◆

Internet Access — This device supports Internet access through a 

WAN connection. Since many DSL providers use PPPoE to establish 

communications with end users, the Barricade includes built-in clients 

for these protocols, eliminating the need to install these services on 

your computer.

◆

Shared IP Address — The Barricade provides Internet access for up 

to 253 users via a single shared IP address. Using only one ISP 

account, multiple users on your network can browse the Web at the 

same time.

◆

Virtual Server — If you have a fixed IP address, you can set the 

Barricade to act as a virtual host for network address translation. 

Remote users access various services at your site using a constant IP 

address. Then, depending on the requested service (or port number), 

the Barricade can route the request to the appropriate server (at 

another internal IP address). This secures your network from direct 

attack by hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing 

you to change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to 

your network.

◆

DMZ Host Support — Allows a networked computer to be fully 

exposed to the Internet. This function is used when NAT and firewall 

security prevent an Internet application from functioning correctly.

◆

Security — The Barricade supports security features that deny 

Internet access to specified users, or filter all requests for specific 

services the administrator does not want to serve. WPA (Wi-Fi 

Protected Access) and MAC filtering provide security over the wireless 

network.

◆

Virtual Private Network (VPN) — The Barricade supports one of the 

most commonly used VPN protocols – PPTP. This protocol allows remote 

users to establish a secure connection to their corporate network. If 

your service provider supports VPNs, then these protocols can be used 

to create an authenticated and encrypted tunnel for passing secure 

data over the Internet (i.e., a traditionally shared data network). The 

VPN protocols supported by the Barricade are briefly described below.
