IPT protocol
Support of communication via IPT (Internet-Protokoll Telemetrie). The
router can connect to an IPT master as IPT slave and tunnel payload
of the serial Ethernet gateway to another IPT slave.
Dynamic DNS update
The assigned IP address can be deposited at a dynamic DNS service
(e.g. DynDNS) after the set-up of a PPP connection to an Internet
service provider . The router can be accessed from the Internet.
DNS relay server
DNS requests can be forwarded to previously configured DNS servers
in the Internet or the DNS servers passed on during PPP connection
establishment.
Firewall (stateful firewall)
The firewall enables the limitation of incoming and outgoing IP
connections. A flexible rule may be created for each connection and
stored user. If one of these firewall rules applies to a connection
through the router, this connection will be allowed, otherwise the
connection is inhibited. The "Stateful Firewall" will allow connections
also for protocols with special requirements, e.g. FTP.
MAC filter
The MAC filter allows that only those packets are accepted at the
Ethernet interface that come from explicitly permitted network
devices.
E-Mail dispatch and SNMP trap triggering on different events
It is possible to send an e-mail to any recipient on different events or
trigger an SNMP trap. A series of pre-define events are available for
this, like set-up of connections or tunnels, link condition changes,
false authentication at the web interface, firewall rejection,
configuration changes and other device-internal procedures.
SNMP agent for processing SNMP requests
It is possible to respond to incoming SNMP requests (SNMP Get
requests) if the SNMP agent is enabled. Almost all configuration
parameters can be read out with this.
Time synchronisation via NTP
Synchronisation of the system time via Network Time Protocol with
an NTP server in the Internet. The system time will thus always be
current and the internal clock must not be set manually.
NTP server
An NTP server can respond to NTP requests in the local network.
