DESCRIPTION

  • Disconnects the LAN When the Modem is in Use
  • Addresses Dial Security on Systems with Firewalls
  • Prevents Corrupted or Pilfered LAN Data
  • EIA/TIA 568 Compatible for Easy Replacement
Introduction
The Secure Fire Wall Plate is a security oriented wall plate assembly for PCs or servers that have both LAN and modem connections. It is designed to eliminate the possibility of using inbound or outbound dial modem connections as a path to the corporate LAN.

When the modem on the PC or server is active, the Secure Fire Wall Plate will automatically disconnect it from the LAN. See "X" in the Application Diagram. This eliminates the possibility of security breaches via dial connections to unscrupulous Internet sites or other unauthorized inbound hacker type dial activity.

The Secure Fire Wall Plate is available in both the Basic Mini Firewall and the Enforcer Versions.

The Enforcer Version allows two methods to re-establishing the LAN connection when the modem session is completed. It can be restored automatically when the modem is disconnected or after a virus scan program is run. The method is selected by a slide switch on the PC board.

The Hardware
The Secure Fire Wall Plates provide one RJ-45 10/100BASE-T LAN connection and one RJ-11 for the modem connection. They use standard CAT-5 punch down terminals that are compatible with the EIA 568 A&B color codes for easy replacement or new installations. An LED shows modem activity and LAN disconnect.

The Secure Fire Wall Plate is quite simple, easy to use and highly effective. It requires no AC power and uses relays to physically disconnect the LAN connection when the modem is in use.

For more information on the Mini Firewalls, check out the Mini Firewall Family Page.
