SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide
Introduction 1-3
ISPs can beat cost and time roadblocks that are normally associated with wired infrastructure
networks.
The SPEEDLAN 9000 series presents an unparalleled level of performance and features, including
Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server. NAT
increases network security and allows the occupants of an entire building to share a single global IP
address. DHCP server allows IP addresses be assigned dynamically at the remote building.
Distributing these administrative functions to each remote building significantly reduces the
"administrative overhead" traffic that must travel back to the service provider's headquarters.
