Advanced Functionality
Includes Network Address Translation (NAT) traversal support for VPN clients behind devices that support VPN pass-through mode. Supports multiple configurations, including split tunneling, block tunneling, and central tunneling. Provides redundant gateway capability and keepalives for increased reliability. Gateway
A device that connects to the network and converts a signal to be transmitted via IP. In telephony the classic use of a gateway is to convert POTS or analog lines to IP. As an example, we use a gateway to bring SIP Trunks into an xBlue Key System. Router
A networking device whose software and hardware are usually tailored to the tasks of routing and forwarding information. For example, on the Internet, information is directed to various paths by routers. VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Private data network that makes use of the internet, maintaining privacy through the use of a tunneling protocol and security procedures. This is often used in conjunction with VoIP as a more cost-effective alternative to a dedicated bandwidth connection.
