1 – Introduction and Description

Welcome to the world of Internet security. Your Multi-Tech SOHO RouteFinder VPN

Internet security appliance, Model RF560VPN, is ideal for the small branch office or

In addition to providing a WAN Ethernet port for DSL or cable broadband Internet

access, it also offers both client-to-LAN and LAN-to-LAN connectivity based on the

IPSec protocol. The SOHO RouteFinder supports up to 10 IPSec tunnels and provides

3DES encryption with 1.5 Mbps throughput.

Setup Examples and Other Helpful Documents

There are five reference documents to help you setup and use your RF560VPN. These

reference guides are located on the RF560VPN System CD that accompanies your

RouteFinder and also on the Multi-Tech Web site. Check the Multi-Tech Web site

occasionally as other documents may be added in the future.
