DC-202 Features
The DC-202 incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to
provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access
the Internet through the DC-202, using only a single external IP Ad-
dress. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external
sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation).
• DSL & Cable Modem Support. The DC-202 has a 10/100BaseT
Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL
and Cable Modems are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia)
login support is also included.
• Supports all Connection Methods. The Internet (WAN port) connec-
tion supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling
Protocol), L2TP (Level 2 Tunneling Protocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra
Big Pond (Australia), as well as “Direct Connection” type services.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connec-
tion, the DC-202 supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is
allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
