Integrated firewall and network solution in one device. The 401 VPN X2 features packet inspection, IPSec VPN, NAT, intruder detection, URL filter, control and blocking access features and distinct user policies (5 different user groups). The 401 VPN X2 supports most of the popular high bandwidth connections including Cable, DSL, T1, Dynamic IP and PPPoE. The 401 VPN X2 has 4 LAN Switch ports and DHCP server that allows for safe internet connection sharing.
Economy, speed and stability The 401 VPN X2 is an ideal product for those who need QoS (Quality of Service) due to its ability to prioritize traffic for critical applications.
The 401 VPN X2 lets you create up to 10 IPSec VPN tunnels. A VPN tunnel is an encryption mechanism that creates a safe connection from your LAN through the internet. You can safely connect your enterprise to your subsidiaries, shops, partners or home.
The 401 VPN X2 QoS (Quality of Service) sets higher priority over regular traffic to demanding applications.
The 401 VPN X2 is a 4 LAN 10/100 port switch that allows you to share your cable/DSL/T1 connections with up to 253 users on your LAN (using additional switches and/or hubs).
The 401 VPN X2 protects your business or home network by providing a high performance firewall with SPI packet inspection that detects and blocks DoS (Denial of Service) and other malicious attacks.
The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature performs the translation of network addresses and ports. This ensures the privacy of your internal network IPs while requiring only one internet IP for your entire network.
The 401 VPN X2 allows you to block and control acess to undesirable sites with the use of the Local URL filter using White/Black URL lists. This stops users from using the internet improperly at work.
The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) feature supports applications that require bidirectional data transmission over the internet. It also allows a server/PC on the LAN to act as an independent node that communicates with the internet in both directions, as web servers. Without the DMZ, bidirectional communication with the internet is not allowed by the firewall.
The Virtual Server feature, with port forwarding, allows sharing LAN services, such as email and FTP. With this feature, external users can access specific services on your LAN.
The 401 VPN X2 supports multiple Internet IPs addresses that can be mapped through the Multi-DMZ or NAT Alias to LAN computers/servers permitting only the services or TCP/IP ports specified for the mappings.
With the 401 VPN X2 you can create up to 5 distinct user groups, with distinct internet access and policies. For example, you can create a group with full access, one that can access only the internet and email, and another that doesnt have any kind of internet connection.
If you have a dynamic IP address that changes at each connection or some other interval, the DDNS feature prevents you from having to change the IP address manually on your equipment. This way remote access, VPNs and other services that depend on IP addresses are not interrupted.
The 401 VPN X2 can act as a DHCP server for your network, managing up to 253 IPs.
The 401 VPN X2 allows passing VPN connections (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec) through the equipment so that it does not interfere with VPN tunnels established between internal and external users/servers.
The 401 VPN X2 supports internet communication applications such as games, VoIP and conferences, that are usually hard to use behind a firewall. The support for special applications allows the use of some non-standard applications, where each port used to reply is different from the port issuing a request.
