The Zoom ADSL X3 Gateway, Model 5560A, is a full-rate ADSL modem and a powerful
gateway/router in a single affordable product.
The Zoom X3 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.
An Ethernet interface on the X3 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 X3 can also be plugged into a hub or
wireless access point to provide concurrent Internet access for up to 253 networked
computers.
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.
