Key Features of the ProSafe DGFV338

The ProSafe DGFV338 with eight-port switch connects your local area network (LAN) to the
Internet through an internal ADSL modem or through an external broadband modem connected to
the 10/100 Ethernet port. It provides wireless LAN connectivity operating at 2.4GHz (802.11b/g).
With a built-in Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, the ProSafe DGFV338 prevents Denial of
Service (DOS) attacks and provides shared high-speed cable/DSL Internet access for a local
network of up to 253 users. The ProSafe DGFV338 provides you with multiple Web content
filtering options, plus browsing activity reporting and instant alerts—both via e-mail. A network
administrator can establish restricted access policies based on time-of-day, Website addresses and
address keywords. Remote users can access the ProSafe DGFV338's LAN by secure IPSec VPN
connections.
With minimum setup, you can install and use the firewall within minutes.
The ProSafe DGFV338 provides the following features:
• An internal ADSL modem supporting Annex A or Annex B (depending upon region).
• One 10/100 Mbps Ethernet wide area network (WAN) port.
• An internal 802.11g, 802.11b, 802.11g/b, or Auto 108Mbps wireless access point.
• Built in 8-port 10/100 Mbps switch.
• Support for up to 50 IPSec VPN tunnels.
