The Vigor 2865Vac features an integrated VoIP ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter). This connects two analogue phones to Voice over IP for use with hosted PBX systems and VoIP/SIP telephone services. Either 1 or 2 telephones or DECT handsets can be connected, for use independently and simultaneously, for both incoming and outgoing calls.

Use the ‘Digit-Map’ feature to direct calls through different SIP/VoIP services. For instance, local calls can be made through one VoIP provider. International calls would route through an alternative VoIP provider, with better pricing on calls outside of the UK. Digit Map allows for extremely flexible call routing.

Integrating the VoIP ATA into the router ensures that no port forwarding or NAT handling is typically needed. Simply connect the Vigor 2865Vac to the Internet and configure your VoIP account details to make and receive calls.

A feature central to DrayTek routers is its VPN (Virtual Private Networking) capabilities. A VPN enables you to link remote offices and branch offices back to HQ, or home-based/mobile teleworkers back to your office.

The Vigor 2865 is an ideal VPN router, with 300 Mbps standard IPsec VPN throughput and up to 32 concurrently active VPN tunnels.

IPsec Hardware Acceleration boosts performance, up to 800 Mbps for 16 VPN tunnels, allowing securely encrypted tunnels between sites to make full use of high speed Internet connections.

Supporting up to 32 concurrently active VPN tunnels, the Vigor 2865 series is ideal for connecting multiple sites or home offices together with fast and secure IPsec VPN tunnels.

Once connected, they have access to your office/remote resources through a secure encrypted tunnel allowing remote desktop, file sharing and seamless access to other resources and devices.

The Vigor 2865 series provides up to 6 Gigabit LAN ports for wired links to Computers, Servers and Network Attached Storage.

With 5 dedicated LAN ports and one flexible LAN/WAN port, the Vigor 2865 can connect up to 6 devices directly with a single DSL based WAN configuration, or 5 devices with a dual WAN configuration with DSL on WAN1 and Ethernet WAN on WAN2.

With Multiple LAN subnets and VLANs, the Vigor 2865 can manage up to 8 separate networks. For instance, an internal network with a separate network for Guests to use, completely separate from the private network. Each network with its own Content Filtering, Firewall, Quality of Service and Route Policy applied.

The router has full support for 802.1Q VLAN tagging, so that these subnets can be passed to other devices that support VLAN tags, such as the DrayTek VigorSwitch G1080 8-port switch, for additional network ports.

The Wireless LAN also links to these VLANs, making the same Guest & Private networks possible simply using different wireless SSIDs. Or connect up a DrayTek VigorAP wireless access point, such as the VigorAP 903 to do the same, spanning the router’s own wireless and any connected wireless APs.

Security is always taken seriously with DrayTek routers. The firewall protects against attacks including DoS (Denial of Service) attacks, IP-based attacks and access by unauthorised remote systems. Wireless, Ethernet and VPN are also protected by various protection systems.

The DrayTek object-based firewall enables you to create combinations of Firewall rules and Content Filtering to suit a home or small office environment, applying Content Filtering to the whole network, only specified devices or just the network that guests can connect to.

The Vigor 2865 supports both IPv4 and IPv6 with Dual-Stack IPv4/IPv6. Advanced networking features, such as the object-based Firewall, Quality of Service, Content Filtering and VLANs support both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.

DrayTek routers make it easy to manage Guest Wireless with Hotspot Web Portal. The fully customisable captive portal can apply to both the router’s wireless networks and LAN interfaces, for use with wireless access points.

Authentication can be handled by Google/Facebook or an external web Portal service such as Purple WiFi with RADIUS.

Upon connecting to the wireless network, users are presented with your company’s branding and information. From there, depending on what you’ve set, they can simply click-through, provide their details or enter a PIN with Voucher generated by the router.

Once connected, the router can allow access until a user reaches their quota limit of time connected or bandwidth used.

The Vigor 2865 manages DrayTek VigorAP access points and VigorSwitch switches connected locally to the router. This enables you to centrally control, manage and administer multiple AP & Switch devices installed around your building/campus from just the one router.

Central AP Management

The DrayTek router operating as the wireless controller can provision up to 20 DrayTek VigorAP access points with Central AP Management profiles, with an option to Auto Provision – auto configuring newly installed VigorAP access points with the Auto Provisioning profile, upon initial connection to the DrayTek Vigor router’s network.

Central Switch Management

DrayTek VigorSwitch switches can be provisioned and managed through the router with DrayTek’s Central Switch Management system, which allows you to:

• Easily provision VLAN configuration and other port settings directly from the router.
• Set bandwidth rate limits and schedules for individual ports.
• Log switch events for alert notifications if network problems occur
• At a glance see the devices connected on your network with a virtual topology.
