Telkom has introduced a four-port Ethernet interface for customers who require up to four PCs to be connected to their Telkom ADSL connection. The modem offers reliability and is a complete solution as a home or office router.
When configured as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol servers and client (DHCP), it will assign an IP address to every connected PC and acts as the only externally recognised Internet device on a local area network. With built-in Network Access Translation (NAT), the unit serves as an Internet firewall, protecting networks from being accessed by outside users. It also allows worry-free access to the new generation broadband Internet.
The default factory setting is set to bridge mode, which means that only the PPPoE client software supplied by Telkom needs to be loaded on the computer to enable the use of this modem.
The unit is supplied with a comprehensive user guide. The cost of the four-port ADSL router is R999. Customers who order any of the ADSL products like HomeDSL 384, HomeDSL512 or BusinessDSL 512 on a two-year contract will get the modem free of charge.
The Telkom four-port ADSL router replaces the Ethernet one-port modem. With four ports, there is no need to purchase a mini router to connect more than one PC.
