What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the Router will support?
Cortexa will support up to 272 IP addresses.
Where is the Cortexa installed on the network?
In a typical environment, the Cortexa is installed between the cable/DSL modem and the
LAN. Plug the Cortexa into the cable/DSL modem’s Ethernet port.
Does the Cortexa support IPX or AppleTalk?
