Introduction 2-5
v2.0, September 2005
• Supports industry standard VPN protocols
The DG834 ADSL router supports standard Manual or IKE keying methods, standard MD5
and SHA-1 authentication methods, and standard DES and 3DES encryption methods. It is
compatible with many other VPN products.
• Supports 3DES encryption for maximum security.
• VPN Wizard based on VPNC recommended settings.
Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink™ LAN Ethernet Connections
With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the DG834 can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard
Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and
capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.
The router incorporates Auto Uplink
TM
technology. Each local Ethernet port will automatically
sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’ connection such as
to a computer or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure
itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover
cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection.
Content Filtering
With its content filtering feature, the DG834 prevents objectionable content from reaching your
PCs. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within
Web addresses. You can configure the router to log and report attempts to access objectionable
Internet sites.
