In case a remote site experiences network failure, the B097-016 supports out-of-band (alternate channel) access to devices. Simply connect an external modem, such as a Multitech MT9234MU-CDC-XR or US Robotics USR5637, to one of its 16 RJ45 ports.

Features Gateways that Port Forward to an Unlimited Number of Local Hosts

The B097-016 features a built-in stateful firewall and embedded DHCP server that hosts a separate LAN for critical traffic. Each of its gateways can port forward to an unlimited number of computers, routers and other locally networked host devices.
