■ Built-in four-port 10BASE-T, 10 Mbps Ethernet hub. Up to 25 users can be
supported by adding an external Ethernet hub
■ Two pass-through, analog voice ports for connecting up to two external analog
devices
■ Virtual Private Network (VPN) pass-through capability using client software
Virtual FAX Modem
■ Allows Windows users on the LAN to access one or both modems as if directly
connected through an RS-232 serial (COM) port.
■ Creates support for applications requiring a dedicated modem, such as Class
2.0 fax applications, and online services.
Routing
■ IP Routing
■ Dynamic or static IP addresses supplied by your service provider (WAN side)

the common, alphanumeric name of a device (for example,
“www.3com.com”) to its numeric IP address
1.Current FCC rules limit download speeds to 53Kbps per modem.
