Acceleration
Use Nokia Network Voyager to configure virtual private network (VPN)
tunnels to use hardware acceleration. This step is necessary for the optional
encryption accelerator card on the IP560 appliance.
The way you enable the software depends on whether you create VPN tunnels
with Network Voyager or with Check Point software. If you use Voyager to
create a VPN tunnel, see “To configure IPSec.” If you use Check Point
software to create a VPN tunnel, see “To configure a Check Point VPN.”

2. On the Network Voyager home page, click Config.
3. Under Interfaces, click IPSec.
4. Scroll down and click IPSec Advanced Configuration.
5. At Hardware Device Configuration, click On.
6. Click Apply to enable the card.
To configure a Check Point VPN
