1.0 Introduction
The Axiomtek NA-806D network appliance, is a fanless, rack mountable and wall mountable
network security hardware platform. The unit is suitable for UTM applications, network security
applications and embedded box solutions.
For more technical information and ordering options, take a look at the NA-806D datasheet from
the Axiomtek site. Also, the Axiomtek site contains many other network appliance equipment to suit
your needs.
The compact flash card socket is easily accessible from the bottom of the NA-806D, with just a
small panel that needs to be removed. Also a 3.5" hard drive can be installed inside the unit if
required.
Standard X86 Intel hardware is used for the motherboard's chipset and it's four LAN interfaces This
makes it easy to install most operating systems and drivers for the hardware are easy to find for the
system. I found Linux to install very easily onto the system by using a USB CDROM drive.
A console port located on the front is available for easy access to Linux shells and terminal
information. Another RS-232 port is also on the back of the unit, allowing serial communications
for automation and HMI type systems.
The VGA port can be used for HMI or kiosk type interfaces and the two USB ports allow for a
multitude of devices to be plugged into the NA-806D.
I have several Axiomtek NA-806D units working for clients with out any failures. The uptime of
these network appliances are excellent, and with our uptime of over 10 months (Since I started
deploying these units).These units have been deployed in VPN Router and packet inspection duties
in heavy data traffic conditions, with mission critical requirements.
For our tests, I used the OpenVPN software on a Linux image installed on two NA-806Ds,
connected together with 100Mbps Ethernet. Two test host were then connected to the each of the
network appliances. The NA-806D Intel network interfaces came up without any issues and showed
correctly on the front interface.
I used a Linux server with ProFTPD on one end of the tunnel and a Linux laptop using WGET and
WPUT for the other end. While moving data test using 256 AES encryption with LZO compression,
I was getting around 88Mbps with only 20% CPU usage.
NA-806D Features
