Bintec-elmeg R4300 Ethernet LAN

Multiprotocol router with X.21 and ISDN
The bintec R4300 IP router is equipped with both X.21 and S0 ports, providing SMEs an X.21 interface. With an optional X.25 license, the router can be upgraded to include a powerful X.25 feature set.

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.

WLAN Controller, HotSpot and adult content filtering
The router also includes all the functionality of the bintec WLAN Controller. The bintec WLAN controller lets you configure and monitor small- and mid-sized WLAN networks with up to 72 access points. No matter whether you need frequency management with automatic channel selection, loadbalancing across several access points, support for virtual LANs, or virtual wireless network administration (multi-SSID) - you have all these advanced features at your fingertips with the WLAN Controller. The software continually monitors the entire wireless network, notifying administrators of any malfunctions or security threats.

The router's integrated HotSpot Gateway together is an ideal complement to the WLAN Controller in combination with a bintec HotSpot license, allowing operators to set up a wireless guest network that requires authentication. This secure separation between the guest network and company network is configured through the WLAN Controller and implemented using virtual wireless networks. An additional highlight is the optional Cobion filter which can be used to prevent children and youth from accessing inappropriate content.
