Square One Personal Internet Server is the revolutionary network appliance that combines network attached storage, a broadband router, printer sharing, and a Web server—all in one compact, easy-to-manage box.

Key features

• High Capacity Network Drive
  Square One’s internal 320 GB or larger hard drive provides convenient backup and storage for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS clients through an industry-standard Samba interface. Administrators can define folder access permissions for individual users and groups. Award-winning Memeo software is included for instant, automatic backup from Windows PCs.
  
• Broadband Router
  Square One also acts as a Network Address Translation (NAT) router and hardware firewall, allowing a single public IP address to provide secure Internet connectivity for up to 250 computers. In addition to the integral 4-port 10/100 Mbps switch, a special DMZ port lets advanced users run public servers behind the Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall without compromising the security of the rest of the network.
  
• Printer Sharing
  With its USB port and integral print server, Square One turns an inexpensive USB printer into a shareable IP-based printer. Print from any computer on the network as if the printer were directly attached to it.
  
• Web Server
  Despite its small size, Square One is a potent Web server. With Apache HTTP Server, PHP, and MySQL all preinstalled, Square One is ready to serve up the most advanced Web sites, right out of the box. And with Square One’s built-in router directly connected to the Internet, there’s no need to set up port forwarding to make your Web site visible to the world.
  
• Network Card Reader
  Insert a memory card into Square One’s built-in card reader, and its contents appear as a shared folder on the network drive. CompactFlash (Type I & II), SD/MMC, xD, Memory Stick, MS Pro, and SmartMedia formats are all supported.
