VPN Accelerator Circuit Board

The VPN Accelerator (PIX-VPN-ACCEL) is an encryption and accelerator circuit board. The VPN
Accelerator uses a PCI interface and therefore can only be installed in PIX security appliance platforms
with PCI slots. The VPN Accelerator begins to function immediately after installation without the need
of special installation configurations.
The new VPN Accelerator cannot be used with the former PIX security appliance IPSec accelerator in
Note
the same chassis. The PIX security appliance IPSec accelerator was also known as the Private Link card.
