Typical Applications

Remote User.The client-to-LAN

application replaces traditional

dial-in remote access by allowing

a remote user to connect to the

corporate LAN through a secure

tunnel over the Internet. The

advantage is that a remote user

can make a local call to an

Internet Service Provider, without

sacrificing the company’s security,

as opposed to a long distance call

to the corporate remote access

server.

Branch Office.The LAN-to-LAN

application sends network traffic

over the branch office Internet

connection instead of relying on

dedicated leased line connections.

This can save thousands of

dollars in line costs and reduce

overall hardware and

management expenses.

Firewall Security.As businesses

shift from dial-up or leased line

connections to always-on

broadband Internet connections,

the network becomes more

vulnerable to Internet hackers.

The RouteFinder provides a full-

featured firewall based on Stateful

Packet Inspection technology and

NAT protocol to provide security

from intruders attempting to

access the office LAN.

Load-Balancing. Load Balancing

distributes LAN-to-LAN traffic over

two WAN links. This allows for the

amount of traffic on each line to be

based on a specified weighed

value so that communication can

be made faster and more reliable.

Failover. If one port were to go

down, the RouteFinder appliance

would automatically re-route all

Internet and VPN traffic to the

other connection. The second

WAN port greatly enhances

performance and system uptime.

Chapter 2 – Installation

Cabling Your RF820 RouteFinder

Your RouteFinder requires making the appropriate connections to PCs, a cable or xDSL

modem, an analog modem or ISDN TA (RF820 only), and AC power.

After your device is properly cabled, it must be configured. See Chapter 3 for basic directions.

For advanced configurations, see the User Guide.

1. Turn the power off on all network devices (PCs, cable modems, DSL modems, analog

modems, ISDN TAs, and the router).

2. Plug one end of a RJ-45 cable into the Ethernet port on the PC and other into one of the

LAN port on the RouteFinder. (If you have more than one PC, connect the others in the

same way to the other LAN ports).

3. If using an analog modem, connect it to the RF820’s serial port.

4. Connect a network cable from the DSL or cable modem to the RouteFinder WAN port.

5. Connect the provided power supply cable to the 12VDC power port on the back of the

RouteFinder, and plug the other end of the power supply into an AC power outlet.

Cabling the RF820-AP

Use the cabling procedures above and attach the wireless antenna. See the Back Panel

section earlier in this chapter for the location of the antenna connector.

Note: The antenna must be attached in order for the RouteFinder to be operational.

Chapter 2 – Installation

10 Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. RF820/RF820-AP & RF830/RF830-AP Quick Start Guide

Cabling Your RF830 RouteFinder

1. Turn the power off on all network devices (PCs, cable modems, DSL modems, analog

modems, ISDN TAs, and the router).

2. Plug one end of a RJ-45 cable into the Ethernet port on the PC and other into one of the

LAN port on the RouteFinder. (If you have more than one PC, connect the others in the

same way to the other LAN ports).

3. Connect a network cable from the DSL or cable modem to the WAN port on the

RouteFinder. A second WAN port is provided for connecting a second DSL modem or

cable modem that uses a different Internet Service Provider (ISP). This gives you the

option to switch from one ISP to another in case one provider is not available.

4. Connect the provided power supply cable to the 12VDC power port on the back of the

RouteFinder, and plug the other end of the power supply into an AC power outlet.

Cabling the RF830-AP

Use the cabling procedures above and attach the wireless antenna. See the Back Panel

section earlier in this chapter for the location of the antenna connector.

Note: The antenna must be attached in order for the RouteFinder to be operational.
