Replacing a Check Point Encryption Accelerator Card

The IP1560 comes with the Check Point encryption accelerator card preinstalled as part of its
base bundle to further enhance VPN performance. The encryption accelerator card provides
high-speed cryptographic processing that enhances VPN performance.
The IP690 appliance uses a PMC format encryption accelerator card. The encryption accelerator
card has no external connections and requires no cables. The encryption accelerator card
software package is part of IPSO, so the appliance automatically detects and configures the card.
Use Check Point Network Voyager to configure your software applications (IPSec or Check
Point VPN) to make use of the available hardware accelerator. For information about how to
configure software applications, see
page 90.
