Secure SHDSL Routing Solution
The AT-AR442S secure SHDSL router provides
business class quality and extensive software
features at a highly competitive price. Designed
with the needs of the branch office or small-to-
medium business in mind, the AT-AR442S is a
desktop, broadband router that comes with
dying gasp and the WAN back-up features that
businesses expect. It allows businesses to take
advantage of cost effective DSL technology
without compromising on bandwidth,
throughput, features or security.
The superior performance of the AT-AR442S
addresses the needs of small to medium sized
enterprises and is unmatched in products of this
class.The AT-AR442S comes with, or has as
optional extras, all the software features necessary
for a product of this type, such as:
• Stateful Inspection Firewall
• An extensive VPN capability
• Comprehensive SHDSL support
• An extensive Quality of Service (QoS) suite
• Multiple routing protocols
• Comprehensive configuration and management
Extensive VPN Capability
The extensive IPsec based VPN capability of the
AT-AR442S allows the interconnection of
branch offices, remote tele-workers, and other
users who require secure access to a corporate
network.This capability provides a cost effective
alternative to long-distance dial-in, leased line or
frame-relay connections.The AT-AR442S also
comes complete with integrated hardware
acceleration to maximise encryption throughput
during secure communication, and is compatible
with key IPsec VPN clients.
Two new GUI wizards for site-to-site and
remote access VPNs (available in AlliedWare
2.9.1) makes VPN configuration a snap.
Security
In addition to hardware-based encryption, the
AT-AR442S comes with other security features,
such as traffic filtering with event logging. Traffic
filtering uses the source and destination
address, port, protocol, and TCP packet type to
provide control over traffic that passes through
the AT-AR442S.The Stateful Inspection Firewall
provides an increased level of security and
complements the filtering functions in the
base product. Also included are HTTP and SMTP
proxies, which provide improved control over
web and mail communications.
With additional license purchases, the AT-AR442S
can support up to 60000 concurrent firewall
sessions. As shipped, the AT-AR442S supports up
to 4000 concurrent firewall sessions.
Flexibility of Modular Routing
A Port Interface Card (PIC) port on the
AT-AR442S provides businesses with a high
degree of flexibility, enabling them to future
proof their investment, obtain additional
functionality or make use of WAN back-up
options. For example, a back-up WAN card,
such as an ISDN card, can be installed in the
PIC port–enabling businesses to protect
themselves against SHDSL downtime.The
AT-AR442S PIC port is compatible with a range
of PICs, including BRI/PRI ISDN, high speed
E1/T1, Synchronous and VoIP.
Performance
The AT-AR442S provides the exceptional
performance required by converged networks.
The 300MHz CPU within the AT-AR442S
ensures that all packets of converged traffic
types are forwarded at wire-speed and with
minimal delay on the WAN interfaces.
