The Zoom ADSL X4 is a full-rate ADSL modem and a powerful gateway/router/
firewall in a single affordable product.
The Zoom X4 delivers up to 8 Mbps data speeds over existing telephone wires and
is suitable for use in homes or small offices. All popular ADSL standards are supported.
The Ethernet interface on the X4 provides connection to a computer running
most operating systems, including Windows 95, 98, 98SE, 2000, XP and Me as
well as Linux, Unix and Mac Operating system. The X4 can also be plugged into a
hub or wireless access point to provide concurrent Internet access for up to 253
networked computers. The USB port supports connection to a Windows computer.
Security features include Network Address Translation (NAT), and Stateful Packet
Inspection (SPI). The NAT firewall hides computers on the local area network from
uninvited access through the Internet. SPI assesses the protocol and packet addresses
being received to determine if the information should be passed through
the firewall to the connected computers. SPI and NAT protect against Internet
worms and Denial of Service attacks, some of the most publicized forms of malicious
intrusion from the Internet.
Setup is easy using any authorized local or remote computer's Web browser and
the intuitive graphical user interface. An auto configuration option automatically
establishes the protocol and encapsulation used by the ADSL service. Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is supported for remote maintenance by
network administrators.
Zoom ADSL gateways are backed by a two year warranty and over 27 years of
experience in the design and support of communication products.
