Your Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. RouteFinder Internet security appliance is an integrated VPN gateway/firewall designed to
maximize network security without compromising network performance. It uses data encryption, user authentication, and the
Internet to securely connect telecommuters, remote offices, customers, and suppliers to the corporate office while avoiding
the cost of private leased lines or dial-up charges.
Product Description
All three RouteFinder models provide advanced network firewall (Stateful Packet Inspection and NAT), application firewall
(DMZ, proxies, filter, optional email anti-virus protection), VPN gateway (IPSec, PPTP, 3DES, authentication), and full router
capabilities. Their Ethernet ports provide connectivity to your network, to the Internet access via router, DSL, cable or
dedicated line, and to the DMZ.
The RouteFinder’s DMZ port permits connecting of Voice over IP gateways, like MultiVOIPs, and public servers such as
email and Web to be safely connected. And its full-featured router hardware allows the entire network to share an Internet
link by connecting to an existing cable modem, DSL modem, or router.
An optional email anti-virus update product offered by Multi-Tech with your RouteFinder purchase includes protection against
new virus types and security gaps with automatically transferred updates.
The browser-based interface eases VPN configuration and management. The VPN functionality is based on the IPSec and
PPTP protocols and uses Triple DES 168-bit encryption to ensure that your information remains private. In addition, the
RF760/660VPN includes firewall security utilizing Stateful Packet Inspection and optional email anti-virus protection.
The RouteFinder VPNs can be used on the desktop or mounted in racks.
