1.4.2 Redundant Secure Broadband Internet Access via Ethernet or Cellular
Connect the LAN-Cell’s Ethernet WAN port to your existing Internet access gateway
(company network, or your cable or DSL modem for example). Connect computers or servers
to the LAN, DMZ or WLAN ports for shared Internet access.
With both the primary WAN (physical WAN port) and 3G WAN connections enabled, you
can set one of the WAN connections as an automatic fail-over backup connection or use load
balancing to improve quality of service and maximize bandwidth utilization.
The LAN-Cell guarantees not only high speed Internet access, but secure internal network
protection and traffic management as well.

1.4.3 VPN Application
The LAN-Cell’s built-in VPN feature is an ideal cost-effective way to securely connect branch
offices, business partners and telecommuters over the Internet without the need (and expense)
for leased lines between sites. You can make connections via the LAN-Cell’s cellular, wired
WAN, or dial-backup interfaces to ensure VPN connectivity regardless of the communication
service available.
