Highlights

Secure VPN Connections. The SOHO RouteFinder VPN uses the IPSec or PPTP industry standard protocol, data encryption, and the Internet to provide high-performance, secure VPN connections. For LAN-to-LAN connectivity, the RouteFinder utilizes the IPSec protocol to provide up to 10 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.

Connect up to 253 Users to the Internet with Broadband Speed. With the SOHO RouteFinder VPN, up to 253 users are connected to the Internet with only one IP account. The WAN Ethernet port supports DSL or cable speeds of up to 6M bps.

Built-in 10/100 Switch. The integrated 4-port 10/100 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 SOHO RouteFinder VPN uses the NAT protocol to hide internal, non-routable IP addresses and allows internal hosts with unregistered IP addresses to function as Internet-reachable servers. The SOHO RouteFinder RF560VPN 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.

Automatic Dial Backup. The SOHO RouteFinder 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 SOHO RouteFinder VPN can support a web, ftp or other Internet servers. Once configured, the SOHO RouteFinder VPN only accepts unsolicited IP packets addressed to the web, ftp or other specified servers.

Dynamic DNS Client The SOHO RouteFinder has a built in Dynamic DNS client that is compatible with DynDNS.org. The SOHO RouteFinder 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 RF560VPN by configuring your PPTP client to connect to yourhostname.dydns.org instead of a dynamic IP address.

Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) Feature The SOHO RouteFinder’s FQDN feature 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 SOHO RouteFinder 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.

Comprehensive Service and Support. The Multi-Tech commitment to service means we provide a two-year product warranty and service that includes free telephone technical support, 24-hour web site and ftp support.
