SPEEDLAN 9000 Series Installation and Operation User Guide Version 3.03
Introduction 1-3
ISP Functionality
The SPEEDLAN 9000 products are tailored to fit the needs of Internet Service Providers
and Broadband Telecommunications Providers. Two features particularly useful to
Internet Service providers are Network Address Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). NAT helps to ensure network security and allows an
entire company to share a single global IP address for communication on the Internet.
This enables companies to communicate with other devices on the Internet. DHCP
servers provide efficient use of IP addresses by assigning them dynamically or statically
to the wireless router location. DHCP allows network administrators to dynamically
assign IP addresses for the period of time needed to connect to the Internet or network.
By providing a DHCP server within the CPE and the base station, the SPEEDLAN 9000
series allows the DHCP transactions to be handled locally at the remote building. This
reduces the load on the entire wireless network.
IP Router Functionality
The SPEEDLAN 9000 is a highly configurable wireless IP router which supports both
star and mesh topologies. In addition to being configurable via a standard web
browser, the router also includes an "at a glance" network monitoring/analysis tool to
allow constant feedback of the network as a whole.
Network Management

problems in the field.
