SoftRouter Plus incorporates a fully featured PPP (Point-to-Point-Protocol) server with secure log-in options via PAP, CHAP and RADIUS authorization.

This offers the possibilities for remote networks and users to have TCP/IP access to local mail servers, access to databases, web servers or other Intranet services. If the local network has a connection to the Internet, either using SoftRouter Plus or by other means, then that connection can be shared with remote access users, if required.

Remote users can connect to the local network, and access local TCP/IP based resources, such as email facilities or Web servers.

The PPP server can support multiple dial-up users, limited only by the hardware configuration of the actual SoftRouter Plus host machine: If fitted with multiple serial interfaces, then multiple remote users can dial-in and connect to the local network simultaneously, enabling the SoftRouter to act as multiport remote access server.

If an Internet connection is available, then remote users can access the Internet through SoftRouter Plus. Access controls are available to restrict access if required.

Further information on local area network and wide area network connectivity can be found in the TCP/IP Router section, or examples of possible configurations can be found in the example configurations section.
