8. Serial terminal server
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
