Moreton Bay NETtel
[Vendor: Moreton Bay]

NETtel edge network devices securely and simply interconnect office networks to the Internet. They embody a router, firewall, packet filter, remote access and VPN server. NETtel supports dial up modems, ISDN, cable or ADSL modems. NETtel 2500 and 2520 models are now shipping.

Secure Internet Access

NETtel provides a robust security firewall between your local area network and the Internet. With the NAT gateway security, you are secure from hackers attempting to access your office LAN. Internet access privileges can be restricted on a client by client basis.

NETtel also offers you the latest VPN facilities so you can truly get connected. With NETtel your remote users can securely connect to your office network through the Internet. All NETtel products embody a VPN server. Your remote PCs use the standard VPN connection software provided with Win95/98, Windows NT and Win2000 to connect to this VPN server over the Internet.

Computers on the office network can also run PPTP or L2TP VPN protocols and transparently tunnel through NETtel, and through the Internet, to connect to remote secure enterprise networks.

Shared Internet Connections

By connecting a NETtel to your Ethernet LAN, everyone on the network can be surfing the Internet simultaneously. Your entire network can logon to the Internet using only one ISP account. Through the one modem or ADSL or ISDN line, your entire network can access the Internet. Modem sharing eliminates the need for a separate modem, phone line and phone charge for each individual user.

By adding a dial in modem to your NETtel, you can allow your remote staff to securely access your office network directly. If your office has a high speed ADSL or cable modem connection to the Internet, your local staff can dial-in and connect to the Internet via this connection after hours.

The Simplest of Solutions

You don’t need to be a networking expert to get NETtel up and running in minutes. Simply attach the LAN and the modem and configure IP addresses.You can configure NETtel and monitor the settings and operational status, using your browser.

Flexible communications

The NETtel family provides unmatched flexibility in interconnecting local devices and networks to the Internet. Each NETtel model has at least one 10BaseT Ethernet network port to connect to the local office network. Each model also comes with serial ports that support external modems or ISDN T/As.

These serial connections can be configured to provide a dial on demand Internet connection or to provide dial in remote network access lines. As an option NETtel is equipped with a second 10BaseT Ethernet network port which can connect to local office PCs or can connect to a cable modem or ADSL modem to provide the Internet connection.

Advanced

The NETtel router family runs an embedded linux kernel. A development kit is available which enables customised code to be stored in flash memory and executed inside the NETtel. The code could be special encryption or authentication protocols or some local monitoring script where NETtel is used as a remote control device. Another advanced option is the inclusion of two USB host ports. These ports enable USB peripheral devices to be attached.

So when would you need a NETtel?

When you want to share a single cable modem, ISDN link or modem connection to the Internet.
When you want to remotely access your office network over the Internet.
When you want to securely dial in to your office network.
