Introduction
This document is the official notification for the Manufacturing Discontinuation of the VPN Router

All versions of the Nortel VPN Router (formerly known as Contivity) 1700 and 1740 product are
being replaced in the Nortel VPN Router product line with the VPN Router 1750. The VPN Router
1750 provides similar performance to both the VPN Router 1700 and 1740. The VPN Router 1750
provides dual 10/100 Base T Ethernet ports on the base system as well as providing 4 open slots for
I/O expansion. The chassis footprint of the VPN Router 1750 is identical to the VPN Router 1740.
The 1750 utilizes a 3U chassis; the 1700 utilized a 2U chassis. The power requirements of the VPN
Router 1750 are identical to both the 1700 and 1740.
Like its predecessors the VPN Router 1750 is offered in both a 5 tunnel version suitable for
“routing” applications and a 500 tunnel version suitable for Remote Access VPN applications.
