The DSR-1000AC Unified Services Routers include dual WAN Gigabit Ethernet ports to provide high availability for your WAN or Internet connections. Traffic can be load-balanced across the links with Outbound Load Balancing, increasing the performance and availability of business applications. The secondary WAN port can also be used to create a DMZ, isolating servers from your LAN. The DSR series supports mobile broadband networks via an extendable USB modem2 , such as 3G dongles. Traffic load balancing can be performed on the mobile data connections, providing an additional layer of redundancy for critical or backup applications.

Captive Portal allows employees and guest users to be easily authenticated and authorised by accessing a customised landing page. Users can be authenticated by a local database, RADIUS, LDAP, Microsoft Windows Active Directory, NT Domain and POP3 server. A maximum of four servers can be configured at any one time.

A fully featured virtual private network (VPN) provides your mobile workers and branch offices with a secure link to your network. The DSR series routers are capable of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) VPN tunnels, as well as Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, empowering your mobile users by providing remote access to a central corporate database.
