Zyxel 660R Set-up Guide

Posted on December 3, 2012 by tim

Note: We now (Jan 2015) suggest using the Billion 8800NL Router. See here: http://www.igaware.com/blog/billion-8800nl-router-configuration-guide-for-a-more-robust-connection/

We’re often asked which router to use with an Igaware Small Business Server, and while any router will work, one that is really easy to set-up is the Zyxel 660R. It has the ability to forward all Internet traffic, directly to the Igaware Small business server, by simply entering the IP of the Igaware Small Business Server.

Our on-line guide shows you how: Zyxel 660R Set-up Guide.

Igaware O/S Version 9.2.3

Posted on July 17, 2012 by tim

A number of customer led features in this release:

  • Added a “network interface” option for IPSec connections. This allows you to specify which network interface each individual IPSec connection will use. This basically means you can run different VPN tunnels down separate broadband connections to allow load balancing.
  • The System Backup will now backup any ISCSI targets that have been defined on the Igaware server as part of the “Fileserver” source. Any ISCSI servers on your LAN can now be found and backed up through the Igaware backup.
  • External USB disks used for backup destinations are now formatted with an NTFS filesystem. This means that the USB disk can be mounted, and files on it, browsed on a Windows machine.
  • Added an extra option to the DHCP server declaration. This allows you to specify a TFTP (Trivial FTP) server address for option 66. This help out a customer who’s phone system has a TFTP server that client machines access for software updates.
  • Updated the Rsync software to newest version to allow extended Windows attributes to be backed up.

Other general updates included:

  • Upgrades to latest versions of Zarafa and Zarafa Z-push active sync.
  • Updated xinetd daemon to the latest version

It’s always nice to get positive feedback. Here’s some unsolicited feedback from one of our resellers:

“I will be recommending Igaware to more of my customers due to the stability
and dependability shown by the system, and especially the level of support.”
