NetDSL 800/1000 NDS Series
The NetDSL 800/1000 NDS Series modem and router are equipped with a more powerful CPU that enables higher throughput rates and longer distances. Software feature enhancements in the new series include dynamic and static NAT mapping methods, as well as IPSec pass-through to meet the ever-increasing demands of security applications. Network management features have also been expanded with the addition of a more user-friendly and flexible management options, such as a new, cross-platform Web-based GUI and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) management capability. In addition, the new NetDSL NDS CPE Series completely supports all current International ADSL bandwidth standards, including Annex A, Annex B and Annex C.

"The new NetDSL CPE product line again demonstrates our continued leadership in the development and deployment of state-of-the-art DSL equipment," said David Egan, VP Marketing. "We have experienced strong demand for the NDS product from all of our major customers due to its higher level of performance and streamlined design."

NetDSL 1200 Series
The NetDSL 1200 Series is an ADSL Router with a built-in 4-port switch that allows multiple PCs to share high-speed DSL bandwidth. The built-in 4-port switch is a dual speed 10/100 Fast Ethernet switch which allows users to segment their LAN to dramatically improve network performance by reducing competition for bandwidth. This allows users to enjoy higher, dedicated speeds for their gaming or multimedia connections. The NetDSL 1200 also features a more powerful CPU, enabling higher throughput rates and longer distances. New software features include dynamic/static NAT mapping methods, IPSec pass-through and Web-based GUI & SNMP management options. The router works with any computer with 10/100Mbps Ethernet interface, and is transparent to most OS, such as Windows, NT, Mac, Unix and Linux.

A Next Generation Design
An outstanding feature of this next generation NetDSL product series is its completely new, streamline look, which gives a truly contemporary feel to the NetDSL 800/1000 NDS Series and NetDSL 1200 Series. The unique case design is not only aesthetically-pleasing, but also allows users to optimize their desk space via a novel space-saving option. Rubber pads on one side of the case allow the CPE device to stand up in a vertical position on the desktop. This allows home users to easily find space for their NetDSL NDS CPE device, even on the most cluttered or full desktop.
