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
