Auto Failover - Signature feature to the Twin WAN Product Line

The Auto Failover capability is a signature feature in all of XiNCOM's Twin WAN product line. This countermeasure maintains your business's uptime and productivity while providing an uninterrupted flow of service for your customers. The Twin WAN Family provides the solution for SMB and SOHO customers that rely on their Internet connection as the basis for business.

The Small Business Administration states that approximately 16 million small businesses in the U.S. use the Internet as a tool for their business. Of those small businesses, 15% rely on their Internet access for their business's continued operations, productivity, and to remain competitive in an ever expanding global market. If a small business's only Internet connection fails, there is no insurance for lost profit and productivity for every second of downtime. XiNCOM offers the solution to help ensure that your business remains connected and minimize productivity and profit loss.

XiNCOM introduces the Twin WAN router family which are high-performance NAT routers that provide broadband redundancy to keep your business connected and accessible to your customers. The Twin WAN routers utilize the combined bandwidth of two separate broadband connections in any combination whether it is DSL, Cable, Satellite, and/or T1 leased lines. When using two separate Internet Service Providers with a Twin WAN router, you ensure that your business minimizes its loss of connection to the Internet. When one connection fails, the Twin WAN router automatically detects the inactive port and re-directs traffic through the second active port. This helps minimize Internet connection interruptions thus giving you true Auto Failover.

XiNCOM's innovative Twin WAN Series offers Auto Failover beginning with the XC-DPG502. In the event of one Internet connection failing, the Auto Failover feature uses the second available connection and minimizes any interrupted flow of Internet traffic. The Load Balancing feature utilizes the bandwidth of two concurrent broadband connections giving you expanded bandwidth for your Internet traffic. Network security is ensured with XiNCOM's built-in Stateful Packet Inspection Firewall that provides solid protection from malicious intruders accessing your network while allowing your needed services to travel unimpeded.

		XC-DPG502 The XC-DPG502 comes equipped with two WAN ports for different broadband connection types while providing automatic failover and load balancing. Other features include QoS (Quality of Service) for more robust management by scheduling and directing your network traffic to take advantage of your available bandwidth and UPnP (Universal Plug & Play) support to dynamically open and close ports required by certain software automatically. Higher throughput of up to 50 Mbps supports up to 100,000 concurrent sessions.
		XC-DPG503 The XC-DPG503 takes the capabilities of the 502 model a step further with the addition of VPN failover of Gateway-to-Gateway security protocols such as IPsec, DES/3DES/AES, MD5, SHA-1, and SHA-2. This gives you an impenetrable tunnel as well as redundant security to transfer your data and voice securely over the Internet.
		XC-DPG603 The XC-DPG603 provides advanced features for SMB networks and Enterprise workgroups that require secure, redundant, and maximum throughput between networks or workgroups. Combined with the signature features of the XC-DPG502, this model provides Gateway-to-Gateway VPN capabilities, redundant and aggregated VPN tunnels, and Inbound Load Balancing features for networking servers that service remote network users. The XC-DPG603 is a Twin WAN Gateway allows for robust networking setups with solid performance for any growing Small to Medium Businesses and Enterprise Workgroups.

The Twin WAN Series of routers allow for easy setup, configuration, and management through an HTTP Graphical User Interface (GUI), as well as remote web management, e-mail Alerts, and SNMP protocol. XiNCOM's advanced broadband networking products keep your business up and running in the unforeseen event of an Internet connection failure.
