D-Link DI-704P CABLE/DSL ROUTER W/4-PT SWITCH
The D-Link DI-704P 4-Port 10/100Mbps Broadband Gateway with Print Server. MODEL: DI-704P VENDOR: D-LINK
FEATURES: Ethernet Broadband Firewall & Router
The DI-704P is an Ethernet Broadband Gateway with a built-in four-
port switch plus a print server function. The DI-704P provides the
ability to share a single Cable or DSL broadband connection and
share a single printer among computers connected to the local
network. The DI-704P is equipped with four 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet
ports and a bi-directional LPT port to support a direct printer
connection. The DI-704P's integrated Router and Firewall provide
NAT, DHCP, and packet filtering services between the local network
and the Internet. The DI-704P is targeted at small business and
home users who want to connect multiple computers and share a
single printer.
Static address support, integrated DHCP, PPPoE, and device name support
will allow the DI-704P to connect to nearly any broadband provider
whether Cable or DSL based. The DI-704P's Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) feature provides dynamic allocation of IP addresses for
up to 253 clients (computers) on the local network. Printer software is
provided to allow clients to print to the network printer attached to
the DI-704P's print server port. Being very functional, the DI-704P will
connect to any Ethernet devices and multiple types of machines and
operating systems. In addition, the four Ethernet ports offer the
convenience of auto-detecting the media type, thus eliminating the need
for using the correct type of cable (straight-through or crossover) when
connecting different Ethernet devices to this gateway.
The DI-704P provides two levels of security support. First, it masks the
IP addresses of computers within the local network from the Internet,
thus making it more difficult for a hacker to target a specific computer
within the local network. Secondly, it can block and redirect certain
ports to limit the services that outside users can access. To ensure
that games and other Internet applications will run properly, the
DI-704P provides the capability to open specific ports.
The DI-704P provides special pass through function for common VPN
implementations including PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP
(Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol) and IPSec. The Virtual Server feature
allows the user to expose HTTP, FTP, Game Servers and other local
services to be accessible to Internet users located outside the LAN. To
allow any application to work even without knowing the ports to be
opened, the DI-704P allows a single client to be specified in the DMZ
zone located on the web configuration utility.
