1. Introduction
10/100 8-Port Dual-WAN VPN Router contains two WAN ports and eight Ethernet 10/100 LAN
ports and mainly supports small and medium size enterprise business network with a high
security VPN. The router brings high-speed network security to enterprise businesses, remote
users, service providers, and data centers. The router’s design combines firewall, VPN
support, NAT, and powerful traffic management with Fast Ethernet connections to provide
consistent network infrastructure security.
With the unique two WAN ports, the device can have a backup WAN interface. 8-Port
Dual-WAN VPN Router supports Smart Link Backup and Load Balance for Dual WAN
management, and this feature enhances the robustness. The extra WAN port can also be
assigned as a DMZ port.
The product’s built-in advanced firewall features can resist various kinds of malicious attacks
and curious intruders. The product uses Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to examine all data
packets based on the established security policies. It also provides automatic protection from
Denial of service (DoS) attacks such as SYN flooding, IP Spoofing, LAND attack, ping of death
and all reassembly attacks. NAT functionality with firewall conceals network address to avoid
its disclosure as public information and also provides a solution for IP address depletion
problem. The product also has the reverse NAT capabilities that enable users to host various
internet services in the private IP address space, such as web servers, e-mail servers…, etc.
The VPN in this product provides the security for transferring important data. It supports up to
100 VPN tunnels and 2 Group VPNs. Group VPN feature facilitates the setup and it’s not
necessary for network administrators to individually configure remote VPN clients.
The product implements the Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload
(ESP) protocols that provides anti-replay service for automatic key management and
confidentiality, authentication and integrity for data stream.
8-Port Dual-WAN VPN Router provides network users with a web-based user interface, which

is flexible, effective, and easy to use. Furthermore, network administrators can easily control,
manage and monitor the network’s conditions through this web-based interface.

When it works as the dedicated DMZ port (Figure 2), it can be connected to the public servers,
such as Web and Mail servers. When it works as the WAN port (Figure 1), it can have the
above WAN connection.
Connect the power cord into a power outlet and the power port on the rear panel of 8-Port
