Figure 30 VPN Router Security Accelerator card

The VPN Router Security Accelerator card is the successor to the Hardware
Accelerator card. The Hardware Accelerator Hifn 7811 card has been
discontinued effective January 2006 although Nortel still supports this card. Along
with providing support for AES, the VPN Router Security Accelerator card
provides increased encryption throughput and improved compression
performance.
Note: The VPN Router Security Accelerator card has one green LED;
the Hardware Accelerator card has no LEDs.
At startup, when you manually enable an accelerator card, or when the accelerator
recovers from a failure, the power-on self-test (POST) verifies the integrity of the
hardware. This test includes validation of the accelerator's encryption, media
access control (MAC), and compression algorithms against their software
counterparts. In the event POST fails, the accelerator card is set offline.
For more information about the VPN Router Security Accelerator card and the
Hardware Accelerator card, and instructions for configuring these cards, see the
guide Nortel VPN Router Configuration — Advanced Features (NN46110-502).
