Chapter 1 - Introduction

The XiNCOM XC-DPG603 is a revolutionary DNS to IP VPN Gateway that provides advanced networking services most commonly found in enterprise class infrastructures at a fraction of the cost. XiNCOM tailors these services with innovative features such as inbound/outbound load balancing, auto-failover, and a built-in VPN endpoint. The XC-DPG603’s primary features are full VPN Load Balancing with Automatic Failover and the Authorative DNS fucntion with Inbound Load Balancing. The VPN capability will allow for two concurrent VPN tunnels that will load balance both inbound and outbound traffic requests. Full redundancy is assured when establishing a VPN tunnel on each WAN port. The authoritative DNS feature load balances inbound traffic requests to the respective IP address on a network infrastructure that hosts content on multiple servers. High throughput of inbound

and outbound requests are managed by dual WAN ports that utilize the combined bandwidth of two separate concurrent broadband connections including DSL, Cable, and/or T1.

Use TWO ISPs for expanded bandwidth and redundancy

Using two separate ISPs provides redundant connectivity to the Internet. In the event that one ISP goes down, the XC-DPG603 auto-fails over to the other ISP service. Redundancy to the Internet provides a truly uninterrupted connection for a business’s customers while maintaining uptime and productivity for its employees.

Robust Security Features

The XC-DPG603 also features NAT, a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall, DHCP server, Access Filters, and a built-in VPN endpoint to secure a business’s network services. The Quality of Service (QoS) feature schedules and directs a network’s traffic to take advantage of available bandwidth. The XC-DPG603 UPnP support can dynamically open and close ports required by certain software automatically. Increased bandwidth and redundant connectivity to the Internet provides cost-effective bandwidth solutions to expensive leased telecommunication lines for your network infrastructure.
