The bintec R1200 is a fully equipped, versatile and flexible multi-protocol router with automatic ISDN backup. It was specially
developed for high-speed Internet access and can also be used for remote access in small to medium-sized enterprises or in remote offices. Standard features include a 4-port switch
and an Ethernet port for WAN access; this router also comes complete with 10 IPSec tunnels including hardware acceleration. Up to 100 additional IPSec tunnels can be added to the
system with the purchase of the corresponding license. The second integrated ISDN BRI interface can also be activated optionally with the purchase of a license.
The basic version offers an SIP Application Level Gateway, enabling it to be connected directly to IP telephones in the network or registered with the VoIP provider. The R1200(w)
automatically controls the firewall, which makes it considerably easier to configure. It has also been conveniently equipped with a DSP slot for future use as a VoIP media
gateway.
As a wireless router, the bintec R1200w supports the 802.11a/b/g/h standards with a gross transfer rate of 54 Mbps. In addition to WEP
encryption, the secure WPA or WPA2 modes for the use of preshared keys or the integration into a Radius server are available to guarantee secure data transmission via the air
interface. Access is controlled on the port level via 802.1x. The multi-SSID function makes it possible for build several different user groups, each with their own guidelines. The
WDS function (Wireless Distribution System) can be used to create wireless infrastructures for application scenarios in which a wired solution would be too expensive or technically
impossible.
The devices can be configured using either the HTTP Configuration Wizard (recommended for inexperienced users) or via an HTML user interface. The SSH-encrypted communication to the
device provides for secure configuration.
