CHASE IO-LINK-SOHO ISDN ONLY ROUTER
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 This is to introduce the Chase IO-LINK-SOHO, is the Chase entry level ISDN Bridge Router. There are two
versions the IR and the BR.

IO-LINK-SOHO-BR Branch Router
1.2 The IR version is designed for up to 10 users (10 IP Addresses), whilst the BR version is
unlimited user. Both units have the same bandwidth and throughput. They look identical and
the only way to tell the difference is to enter the set-up menus and look for the IPX Set-up
facility. The IR does not have this facility, the BR does.
Note it is possible to upgrade an IR to BR specification..

the IO-LINK-CENTRAL.
