Highlights
Secure VPN Connections.
The RouteFinder SOHO security
appliance uses the IPSec or PPTP industry standard
protocol, data encryption, and the Internet to provide highperformance,
secure VPN connections. For LAN-to-LAN
connectivity, the RouteFinder SOHO security appliance
utilizes the IPSec protocol to provide up to 15 tunnels
with strong 3DES or AES encryption using IKE and PSK key
management. For client-to-LAN connectivity,
Multi-Tech provides optional IPSec client software allowing
road warriors secure access to the company’s internal
network.
The RouteFinder SOHO security appliance also supports remote
users that want to use the PPTP VPN client built into the
Windows operating system. This provides 40-bit or 128-bit
encryption, user name and password authentication.
Connect Multiple Users to the Internet with Broadband Speed.
With the RouteFinder SOHO security appliance, multiple
users can share access to the Internet with only one IP
account. The WAN Ethernet port(s) support DSL or cable
speeds of up to 20M bps.
Wi-Fi Connectivity Option.
The RouteFinder SOHO AP models
provide secure wireless 802.11b/g high-speed wireless
connectivity for even greater flexibility and use. With Wi-Fi
Protected Access™ 2 (WPA2), the RouteFinder SOHO security
appliance offers the highest available security for wireless
traffic. In addition, it engages wireless firewalling to provide
control over the communications between the appliance
and connecting clients as well as providing your guests and
customers with wireless Internet-only access.
Built-in 10/100 Switch.
The integrated 4-port 10/100Mbps
switch eliminates the need for an additional hub or switch
to connect users not on a LAN. It ensures high-speed
transmission and can serve as a completely dedicated full
duplex backbone.
Network Security.
The RouteFinder SOHO appliance provides
network layer security utilizing Stateful Packet Inspection,
the sophisticated firewall technology found in large
enterprise firewalls, to protect the network against intruders
and Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. It also uses Network
Address Translation (NAT) to hide internal, non-routable IP
addresses and allows internal hosts with unregistered IP
addresses to function as Internet-reachable servers.
Dual WAN Load Balancing, Internet and VPN Failover.
The
RouteFinder SOHO security appliance (RF830 models) has
a second WAN port for Internet access. This allows for two
separate ISP connections giving administrators the ability
to balance traffic by distributing it over the two links. In
addition, if one port were to go down, the RouteFinder
appliance would automatically re-route all Internet and VPN
traffic to the other connection. The second WAN port greatly
enhances performance and system uptime.
Cellular Wireless Connectivity Options.
The RouteFinder SOHO
security appliance (RF825 models) provide an integrated
cellular EDGE or CDMA 1xRTT modem to be used as your
primary Internet connection, or as a back-up to a wired
connection. With packet data rates up to 240K bps for EDGE
modems, and up to 153.6K bps for CDMA modems, the
RouteFinder RF825 security appliance is ideal for mobile
applications or as a temporary connection during a LAN/
WAN failure.
Automatic Dial Backup.
The RouteFinder SOHO (RF820 models)
security appliance also provides an additional serial port
that, when connected to a dial-up modem or ISDN terminal
adaptor, can serve as a backup resource for Internet access
if your cable or DSL service goes down. It can also serve
as the primary connection if you do not have broadband
connectivity yet in your area.
Virtual Server Support.
In addition to providing shared Internet
access, the RouteFinder SOHO security appliance can
support a web, ftp or other Internet servers. Once configured,
it only accepts unsolicited IP packets addressed to the web,
ftp or other specified servers.
Dynamic DNS Client.
The RouteFinder SOHO security
appliance has a built in Dynamic DNS client that is
compatible with DynDNS.org. It automatically sends an
update to the DynDNS.org update server if the WAN IP
address changes. A registered Dynamic DNS account allows
you to host your own web site, mail server, or other services
on the Internet without having to obtain a static IP address
or keep track of a dynamic IP address. It also aids in creating
static-to-dynamic or dynamic-to-dynamic IPSec VPN tunnels.
In addition, with a Dynamic DNS account you can establish
a PPTP VPN tunnel behind the RouteFinder SOHO security
appliance by configuring your PPTP client to connect to
yourhostname.dydns.org instead of a dynamic IP address.
Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Feature.
The FQDN
featured on the RouteFinder SOHO security appliance allows
you to utilize a static name in the IPSec VPN setup, like
“branchoffice.dyndns.org”, instead of a dynamic IP address,
to create static-to-dynamic or dynamic-to-dynamic VPN<
IPSec tunnels. This allows all of the IPSec VPN connections to
act like static-to-static connections. The RouteFinder SOHO
security appliance checks the FQDN IPSec configuration
every two minutes for IP address changes. If the IP address is
different than the last time it checked, it drops the current
tunnel and creates a new one. This helps to keep IPSec VPN
tunnels readily available with minimal interruptions in data
communication.
Optional VPN Client Software.
Multi-Tech provides easy-to-use
IPSec VPN client software that transparently secures Internet
communications anytime, anywhere. A 30-day free trial CD is
included with the RouteFinder SOHO security appliance.
RouteFinder All-in-one Security Appliance. Multi-Tech's
next generation RouteFinder all-in-one security appliance
is designed to maximize network security without
compromising network performance. It offers an
ICSA-certified Stateful Packet Inspection firewall for the
ultimate in firewall security. It also provides optional e-mail
anti-virus protection and content filtering, as well as free
spam filtering. In addition, it provides secure IPSec and PPTP
VPN connections to securely connect telecommuters, remote
offices, customers or suppliers to the corporate office. Go to
