Simplifying the Edge
• Built-in firewall eliminates need for a separate firewall, such as a
Cisco ASA, at edge
• 2 Ethernet ports eliminates need for an external switch when two
ports is sufficient
• Routing, port forwarding, and NAT capability eliminates need for
an external router
• Terminal server with TCP/UDP encapsulation eliminates a
separate terminal server device to reach legacy serial devices
• WiFi Access Point functionality with dual SSID support
eliminates need for standalone WiFi access point
