With the OfficeConnect® 56K* LAN Modem, users can gain all the
benefits of high-performance dial-up connectivity, even in areas without digital
ISDN services. This small-office solution combines a TCP/IP access router, a
four-port Ethernet Hub, a V.90 analog interface, one pass-through voice port for
fax machines and other analog devices, and TCP/IP server software, giving small
offices everything they need for WAN connectivity to IP networks. All users on
the office LAN can share access to the 56 Kbps analog line and make multiuser
Internet dial-up easy, fast, and affordable. What’s more, the OfficeConnect 56K
LAN Modem is extremely simple to set up using the bundled Microsoft Internet
Explorer (or any other Web browser) and 3Com’s ISP Wizard application. Adding
new computers to the LAN is equally easy with built-in Network Address
Translation (NAT) and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) functionality.
• Unconstrained by the computer’s serial port, the OfficeConnect
56K LAN Modem uses a 3Com Ethernet interface and data compression to reduce
transfer time and deliver high-performance connections to every computer on the
LAN
• The 56K LAN Modem incorporates the new V.90 telecommunications
standard, making it interoperable with all V.90-compliant equipment from service
providers for the fastest download speeds available over ordinary copper
telephone lines
• With an external eight-port Hub attached, the OfficeConnect
ISDN LAN Modem can connect up to 10 computers to the office LAN and provide
TCP/IP addressing and Internet connectivity for all
• Customized Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, ISP Wizard
software, CD-ROM tutorial, and all necessary cables make installation and
configuration fast and simple
• Built-in Network Address Translation (NAT) and DHCP server
eliminate the need to manage TCP/IP addressing; built-in DNS server adds extra
LAN functionality
