Introduction
Welcome to Multi-Tech's new DSU ProxyServer, model number MTPSR2-201, a single, secure gateway that provides multiple LAN users with high performance Internet access over a leased line. The DSU ProxyServer functions as a TCP/ IP proxy server that resides on the outer edge of your firewall and provides up to 56K of bandwidth to LAN users. The DSU ProxyServer features a 10BaseT port for local LAN connection, a command port for configuration, a 56K bps DDS 4-wire WAN connection, and a RS232 port for auto-dial backup in case the leased line connection is lost. System management is provided through the command port using bundled Windows® software which provides easy-to-use configuration menus.
The MTPSR2-201 also supports dial-in Remote Access Server (RAS) when the WAN 2 port is configured to support it. Refer to the Software Installation section of this guide, and to your ProxyServer User Guide for more details on RAS.
