Multi-Tech's New RAS Still Provides the Best Network Security
Multi-Tech Systems announces New Remote Access Servers
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 1 // -- If you need the best possible security for communications between remote LANs (Local Area Networks), and they need to work every time, remote access technology using modems and a Remote Access Server (RAS) is still your best choice. The reason is that the dial-up modem remote access is the most secure and reliable communications available. It is not that the Internet cannot be made safe enough for such transactions, or at least until some hacker breaks the code, but the fact of the matter is that you cannot beat the security of dial-up point-to-point modem communications. Security is the primary, but not only, reason RAS is still around in the era of the Internet, and why it will be around for a long time to come.
Multi-Tech® Systems, Inc., a leading data communications and telecommunications company, based in suburban Minneapolis, is announcing new four and eight port RAS models designed to provide remote access to networks using the latest in analog modem technology.
"Also keep in mind that once a RAS is on an IP network, it becomes a modem pool for any networked PC to utilize," states Chip Harleman, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. "This could be essential in a support scenario where a technician needs to call modem-equipped devices to perform maintenance or do updates. RAS communications can also function as a back-up for everyday Internet or private intranet traffic. As we know, the Internet does have its security issues along with outages and interruptions, so if your mission critical remote access application needs the best security with unmatched reliability, a dial-up line calling a RAS still may be your best choice."
The new MultiAccess(TM) Analog Communications Server (ACS) uses integrated V.92/56K modems, utilizes 10/100BaseT Ethernet for the IP network connection, and is controlled by an easy-to-use web server interface. In addition to accepting inbound calls, the MultiAccess ACS supports dial-out for clients on IP networks, incorporates client authorization through RADIUS® or a local database, can use available callback security, utilizes industry-standard PPP client support and has flash memory on modems and server for easy updating.
