Q Where should the Broadband Switch Router be installed on the network In a typical environment the Broadband Switch Router should be installed between the ADSL Cable modem and your LAN Connect the Broadband Switch Router to the Ethernet port of the ADSL Cable modem and connect your PCs to the RJ45 jack on the LAN side Q Does the Broadband Switch Router support IPX or AppleTalk No The Broadband Switch Router was designed to provide a multiple user LAN with shared Internet access and supports only the TCP IP Protocol If your Novell or Apple system is configured with TCP IP the Broadband Switch Router can support them Q Does the Broadband Switch Router support 100Mb Ethernet Yes the Broadband Switch Router supports both 10Mb amp 100Mb Ethernet on the LAN side Q What is NAT and what is it used for The Network Address Translation NAT Protocol translates multiple IP Addresses on a private LAN into a single public IP Address that is accessible to the Internet NAT not only provides the basis for multiple IP Address sharing but also adds to the LAN s security since the multiple IP Addresses of LAN computers are never transmitted directly to the Internet Q How can Broadband Switch Router share single user account to multiple users Broadband Switch Router combines the following technologies to enable this function NAT Network Address Translation NAT is a technology which can create a private network domai
