Firewall Router with 4-Port Switch/VPN Endpoint is the
perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to
a high-speed broadband Internet connection or a 10/100
Ethernet backbone. The Router can be configured to limit
internal users’ Internet access based on URLs and/or time
periods—URL filtering and time filtering. For enhanced pro-
tection against intruders from the Internet, the Router fea-
tures an advanced Stateful Packet Inspection firewall.

Endpoint to create IPSec VPN tunnels, so you can securely
connect to the corporate server from your home office—or

dedicated port for DMZ hosting and acts as the only exter-
nally recognized Internet gateway on your local area net-
work (LAN).  With the performance and security features of
