businesses and organizations against outages caused by accidental cable or
fiber link cuts during construction, moves or maintenance work.

traffic volume on the primary link

Remote Appliance Control via Cell Phone Interaction
The Barracuda 3G/UMTS USB Modem M10 can also be used as a remote control to securely trigger predefined commands
via cell phones and smart phones which carry out the following restorative operations on the firewall gateway:
• Reboot/restart the services
• Rebuild the management tunnel connection
• Shutdown and bring up again the entire network stack
In addition, administrators can trigger the Barracuda 3G/UMTS USB Modem M10 to send
a status message to the cell phone of the administrator which includes vital information
such as firewall gateway state and link details in case the firewall gateway is no longer
remotely accessible or the administrator quickly wants to check the status while being on
the road.
An intelligent combination of security checks such as support of a phone number ACL,
password protection on a per command basis as well as a maximum successive number
of commands counter assure that there is virtually no abuse potential and remote DOS
attacks are ruled out.
