Funkwerk 24511 Wired Router Networking

The bintec R4300 is a high-performance IP router designed for small and medium-sized enterprises and can be used as a WAN access router or as a central remote access server. The bintec R4300 already comes complete with two BRI and an X.21 interface. A license can be purchased to activate a second X.21 interface. Other router features include a 4-port switch and a separate DMZ port.

Because the bintec R4300 supports up to two ISDN-BRI and two X.21 interfaces, this router is ideal for use in professional ISDN backup solutions as well as for high-performance X.21 connections. In addition to the connection of local end systems, the integrated 4-port switch can also be used in combination with an external modem for WAN access. The separate DMZ port makes it possible to provide central server services.

The extensive IPSec implementation supports the building of secure VPN infrastructures. The device already comes complete with five active IPSec tunnels. 3DES or AES is used for encryption, while preshared keys or certificates can be used for authentication. It is also easy to integrate a Radius server into the system. A license can be purchased for the activation of additional VPN tunnels including hardware acceleration.

This router also sports an extensive range of software features. The stateful inspection firewall provides protection against attacks from the outside. Content filtering allows you to block out any Web contents before they reach the internal network. The integrated PPPoE client/server function makes it possible to define user-specific rules for network use, while QoS mechanisms ensure optimum use of the available bandwidth and provide all the services you require. The devices can be configured using either the HTTP Configuration Wizard (recommended for inexperienced users) or via an HTML user interface. The SSH-encrypted communication to the device provides for secure configuration.
