Proxicast announces the immediate availability of a new firmware
release for its flagship LAN-Cell 2 3G cellular router. The Proxicast
LAN-Cell 2 is an enterprise-class upgradeable 3G secure cellular
router.
The latest LAN-Cell 2 firmware, version 4.02(AQP.6), incorporates
many new features to enhance the LAN-Cell’s already extensive
complement of connectivity, security, and management functions.
Proxicast has added support for several new 3G cellular modem cards
along with an enhanced SNMP (simple network management protocol) agent
and MIB (management information base) with support for the Proxicast’s
soon to be released ProxiVIEW Dashboard centralized device management
system.
To keep pace with the latest in 3G wireless technologies and
standards, Proxicast has added support for these additional cellular
PC-Card (PCMCIA) and ExpressCard modems:
Sierra Wireless AirCard 402 (Sprint & Verizon Wireless)
Novatel Wireless Merlin C777 (Sprint)
Novatel Wireless Merlin PC770 (Verizon Wireless)
The Sierra Wireless AirCard 402 and Novatel Wireless Merlin PC770 /
C777 feature innovative 2-in-1 designs that allow them to function as
both full size PC-Card (54 mm) and ExpressCard (34 mm) 3G cellular
modems. They also support high speed EV-DO Rev. A wide area wireless
broadband access on the Sprint PCS and Verizon Wireless cellular
networks.
The new LAN-Cell 2 firmware features an enhanced SNMP agent and MIB
that includes full 3G & Wi-Fi parameters, making it easier to
manage the LAN-Cell 2 with popular third-party SNMP management tools,
such as HP OpenView (Network Node Manager), IBM Tivoli (NetView) and
SolarWinds. Firmware support has also been added for Proxicast’s own
soon to be released hosted central management system called ProxiVIEW
Dashboard.
ProxiVIEW Dashboard centralizes the management of multiple remote
LAN-Cell’s into a single web site. Device status is automatically
polled and reported in an easy to use spreadsheet interface. ProxiVIEW
includes a full SYSLOG server so that device log data can be kept
indefinitely. It also includes graphing options to show trends such as
cellular signal strength, data traffic usage, and VPN connectivity over
time.
The free upgrade to firmware version 4.02(AQP.6) is available now on the Proxicast support web site.
Customers can easily update all existing LAN Cell 2 devices via the LAN
Cell’s LAN, WAN or serial console interface, including remote upgrades
over an Ethernet or 3G cellular WAN connection.
