Besides the conventional telephone interfaces a maximum of 10 SIP subsidiaries and 10 SIP providers are supported.It was specially developed for high-speed Internet access and can also be used for remote access in small to medium-sized enterprises or remote offices. Standardly equipped with a 4-port switch, the device also includes 5 IPSec tunnels ex works (default). With release 7.6.1 in addition 5 PPTP tunnels can be added after web activation for free.

For the connection to a trunk the basic version offers an analog and an ISDN exchange connection, which can be used alternatively. Two analog ports and an internal ISDN bus provide the direct connection of terminal devices. Furthermore SIP terminal devices (IP telephones, soft clients, etc.) can be registrated at bintec TR200. You are able to register at up to 10 SIP providers.

The control of the firewall and voice-data prioritization are assumed automatically by the bintec TR200 to simplify configuration. A 4-channel DSP for voice-data processing has been integrated into the router to guarantee high voice quality.

As a wireless router, the bintec TR200 supports the 802.11b/g standards with a gross throughput rate of 54 MBps. In addition to WEP encryption, the secure WPA or WPA2 mode for the use of preshared keys or inclusion of a Radius server is available to make sure that data transmission via the air interface remains secure. Access checks are already made at the port level via 802.1x. The multi-SSID function makes it possible to form several different user groups, each with their own privileges. With a push-button the WLAN modul can be switch off completely. A HTML user interface is available to employ the configuration of the routers.

The configuration of the devices takes place via console or alternatively via the Funkwerk Configuration Interface (FCI). The FCI is a web-based graphical user interface, which is accessable from every PC with a current web-browser via HTTP or HTTPS connection. The encrypted SSL communication enables a secure configuration of the TR200.

ADSL2+ enables a high-performance WAN connection and allows download rates of up to 24 Mbps. The WLAN function provides for exceptional flexibility when using the routers in wireless environments. An SIP proxy regulates transparent communication to SIP providers and makes it possible to use the routers in VoIP scenarios, such as for Internet telephony.

The Application Level Gateway makes it possible for IP telephones to establish a connection to SIP providers in the LAN, without compromising the security of the WAN connection. Thus, the SIP proxy monitors the signalization process between the IP phone and the SIP provider and performs all the necessary NAT and firewall procedures dynamically for the duration of communications. It is also possible to easily configure and use several different SIP providers on the router.

The R230aw’s wireless interface transmits the data at a maximum rate of 54 Mbps (802.11g) and is compatible with the 802.11b 11 Mbps version in the same frequency range. Encryption via the WLAN interface can use WPA and WPA2. Multi-SSID can be used to define virtual WLAN interfaces, making it possible to establish different access rules for the WLAN, e.g. to log on internal employees and external visitors. The HTTP Wizard can be of valuable assistance in configuring the WLAN component.

Both routers come complete with powerful VPN implementation and are already equipped with two VPN tunnels straight from the factory (with Release 7.6.1 or higher: 5 IPSec tunnels, optional up to 5 PPTP tunnels). In addition to encryption with AES or 3DES, both routers offer authentication via certificates or pre-shared keys. To optimize the encrypted data stream, IPComp can be used to compress it. The dead-peer detection function makes it possible to check the availability of the tunnel end point and reconnects the tunnel if it is inactive. Along with NAT Traversal, the integration of Radius or Tacacs+ for authentication purposes is also supported.

In order to be able to find partners despite dynamic IP addresses, the routers support the DynDNS function. The implementation is compatible with leading European DynDNS suppliers and seven providers are already pre-installed. The Stateful Inspection Firewall (SIF) offers effective protection against attacks from the Internet through dynamic packet filtering. Using the firewall is made considerably easier by the wide range of pre-configured services. The router security functions are rounded out by optional content filtering*, which classifies all outgoing Internet queries and makes it possible to reliably filter out any undesirable contents.

Both models can work not only as PPPoE clients but as PPPoE servers as well, which makes it possible to allocate different privileges to individual users in the network. In combination with the router scheduling function, specific periods of times can be defined during which users are allocated individual privileges, such as Internet access. The router VLAN function enables a division of the users into virtual sub-networks to offer even greater security.

Inexperienced users can take advantage of an HTTP Wizard to configure the routers; the Wizard guides them step-by-step through the most important basic settings. More experienced users can opt for the HTML configuration interface. The SSH-encrypted communication to the router provides for absolutely secure configuration.

ADSL router with SIP proxy, IPSec and ISDN

 

The second generation of the bintec R232bw now includes a router of this type without the WLAN function for the first time: the new R232b. Both models come equipped with the complete range of features available in this access router class and could be used as flexible IP Access Router with integrated ADSL modem (Annex B). Along with a 4-port switch and an additional Ethernet port for the LAN/WAN connection, the routers also boast an ISDN interface for automatic backup or remote dial-in.

ADSL2+ enables a high-performance WAN connection and allows download rates of up to 24 Mbps. The WLAN function provides for exceptional flexibility when using the routers in wireless environments.

A Fully Equipped, Flexible IP Router

The bintec R1200 is a fully equipped, versatile and flexible multi-protocol router with automatic ISDN backup. It was specially developed for high-speed Internet access and can also be used for remote access in small to medium-sized enterprises or in remote offices. Standard features include a 4-port switch and an Ethernet port for WAN access; this router also comes complete with 10 IPSec tunnels including hardware acceleration. Up to 100 additional IPSec tunnels can be added to the system with the purchase of the corresponding license. The second integrated ISDN BRI interface can also be activated optionally with the purchase of a license.

The basic version offers an SIP Application Level Gateway, enabling it to be connected directly to IP telephones in the network or registered with the VoIP provider. The R1200(w) automatically controls the firewall, which makes it considerably easier to configure. It has also been conveniently equipped with a DSP slot for future use as a VoIP media gateway.

As a wireless router, the bintec R1200w supports the 802.11a/b/g/h standards with a gross transfer rate of 54 Mbps. In addition to WEP encryption, the secure WPA or WPA2 modes for the use of preshared keys or the integration into a Radius server are available to guarantee secure data transmission via the air interface. Access is controlled on the port level via 802.1x. The multi-SSID function makes it possible for build several different user groups, each with their own guidelines. The WDS function (Wireless Distribution System) can be used to create wireless infrastructures for application scenarios in which a wired solution would be too expensive or technically impossible.

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.
