ADSL Business Class
Routing Solution
The AT-AR440S is a competitively priced,
business-class, secure ADSL router.This desktop,
broadband router allows businesses to take
advantage of cost effective DSL connections
without compromising on bandwidth,
throughput, features, or security.
The AT-AR440S has been designed with the
needs of the branch office or small to medium
business in mind and comes with dying gasp and
the WAN back-up features businesses expect.
The AT-AR440S comes with, or has as optional
extras, all the software features necessary for a
product of this type, such as:
• An extensive VPN capability
• Comprehensive ADSL support
• An extensive QoS suite
• Multiple routing protocols
• A comprehensive configuration and
management suite
Extensive VPN Capability
The AT-AR440S provides extensive IPsec based
VPN capability, allowing the inter-connection of
branch offices, remote tele-workers, and other
users who require secure access to a corporate
network.This capability provides a cost effective
alternative to long-distance dial-in, leased line or
frame-relay connections.The AT-AR440S comes
complete with integrated hardware acceleration
to maximise encryption and throughput during
secure communication.The product is compatible
with industry standard IPsec VPN clients.
Two new GUI wizards for site-to-site and remote
access VPNs (available in AlliedWare 2.9.1) make
VPN configuration a snap.
Security
In addition to hardware-based encryption, the
AT-AR440S comes with other security features,
such as traffic filtering with event logging.Traffic
filtering uses the source and destination
addresses, port, protocol and TCP packet types
to provide control over traffic that passes
through the AT-AR440S.The AT-AR440S’
Stateful Inspection firewall provides an increased
level of security and HTTP and SMTP proxies
provide improved control over web and mail
communication.
Software Quality of Service
The AlliedWare TM operating system provides
advanced Quality of Service (QoS) and traffic
shaping features.There are five key QoS features
available on the AT-AR440S:
• Bandwidth Metering
• RED Curves
• Mixed Scheduling
• Virtual Bandwidth
• Dynamic Application Recognition (DAR)
Software QoS also supports eight queues per
interface. DAR is used to snoop for session
setup exchanges and dynamically create
classifiers that match the voice and video
packets in the session. For more information,
see the Allied Telesis Advanced QoS White
Paper available on our website.
Flexibility of Modular Routing
A Port Interface Card (PIC) port on the
AT-AR440S provides businesses with a high
degree of flexibility, enabling them to future
proof their investment, obtain additional
functionality or make use of WAN back-up
options. For example, a backup WAN card, such
as an ISDN card, can be installed in the PIC
port enabling businesses to protect themselves
against ADSL downtime.The PIC options
available also enable businesses to achieve a
higher LAN density without purchasing an
additional switch.The AT-AR440S PIC port is
