Graphic files. Video streams. MP3 music files. And just everyday email with large attachments.Sometimes you wonder how you’ve been getting along without a broadband Internet connec-tion. Now you want to share that power with others in your office or home.

Advanced Physical and Network SecurityBuilt from the ground up to provide multiple levels of security, the FriendlyNETCable/DSL Router is designed around natural firewall that protects your local comput-ers from outside intruders. The security-hardened FriendlyNET router is the only IP net-work address exposed to the outside elements.

To guard against unauthorized removal or theft, the sleek Asanté FriendlyStack™ casedesign features special hooks (to attach security cables) and four mounting holes(including two concealed holes). These security features are ideal for securing therouter in hotels, schools and other public areas where physical security is essential.

Outstanding PerformanceUnlike other Internet routers, the FriendlyNET router was designed for maximum net-work performance at an affordable price. Start with the integrated 2-port 10/100 MbpsFast Ethernet switch. When directly connecting two computers in the same room, net-work traffic moves at up to 100 Mbps (200 Mbps in full duplex mode) – ideal for backingup data from a notebook computer to a desktop machine. As your network needs grow,just add another FriendlyNET 10/100 switch or hub to connect up to 253 users over stan-dard Fast Ethernet cabling.

Backup Modem PortRunning mission critical applications? Even if you’re just doing day-trading, you’ll neverwant to be off-line when your broadband Internet connection is sluggish or down. TheFriendlyNET routers come with a built-in standard serial port to connect your externalv.90 56K modem (optional) – just in case.

Share PrintersHere’s a cost-effective way to share a color inkjet or laser printer. Instead of dedicating acomputer to act as a print server, let the FriendlyNET router handle that for you. Now youhave the freedom to share a parallel port printer through a 10/100 Fast Ethernet net-work.
